The nanofiber technology has recently undergone an unprecedented transformation, finding widespread utilities across diverse scientific disciplines. It is noteworthy that electrospinning approaches have emerged as an adaptable and successful approach to generate fibers ranging in rapidly as a class of therapeutic agents with a high level of target specificity. Peptides encounter several challenges as drugs, including swift breakdown by the body, rapid elimination from the bloodstream, inadequate stability, and restricted ability to cross cell membranes. This renders it challenging to employ them as drugs. However, electrospun nanofibers might address these problems. This review explores the promising potential of electrospinning nanofibers for peptide delivery. We delve into recent advancements in this technique, highlighting its effectiveness in overcoming challenges associated with peptide drug delivery. It provides an analysis of the trends identified in the use of the electrospinning technique and its role in peptide drug delivery systems, based on a review of data collected over a period of five to seven years.

Pituitary neuroendocrine tumors (PitNETS) are common intracranial tumors, but extrasellar or ectopic PitNETS are very rare and supposed to originate from some pituitary remnants. They are mostly found in sphenoidal sinus. But particularly, ectopic clival PitNETS are highly aggressive and can cause bone invasion and can be misdiagnosed as other lesions of the skull base such as chordomas.

Psoriatic arthritis (PsA) is a chronic, inflammatory disease with heterogeneous clinical features. The pathogenesis of PsA involves a complex interplay of genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors, leading to the activation of the immune system and subsequent inflammation. Over the past decade, the understanding of the immune mechanisms underlying PsA has advanced significantly, particularly regarding the role of the interleukin-23/T helper 17 pathway in the disease process.

Diabetic nephropathy is a severe chronic complication characterized by cytotoxicity, inflammation, and fibrosis, ultimately leading to renal failure. This study systematically investigated the effects of the PARP1 inhibitor PJ-34 on high glucose-induced cytotoxicity, inflammation, and fibrosis in HK-2 cells, as well as its improvement on neuropathic pain response and transforming growth factor β (TGFβ) expression in a type 1 diabetes mellitus diabetic nephropathy mouse model. Through cellular and animal experiments, we observed that PJ-34 significantly enhanced the proliferative capacity of cells damaged by high glucose, reduced apoptosis, and decreased the release of proinflammatory factors TGFα, interleukin-6, and interleukin-1β.

Ammonia fertilizer, primarily composed of ammonium chloride, is widely used in pond fish farming throughout Asia. Despite the belief that it possesses antiviral properties, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Ammonium chloride (NH4Cl) has been demonstrated to act as a potent inhibitor of autophagy, which is used by many fish viruses to promote their proliferation during infection.

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) consists of a group of immune-mediated disorders that can cause inflammation and progressive fibrosis of the lungs, representing an area of unmet medical need given the lack of disease-modifying therapies and toxicities associated with current treatment options. Tissue-specific splice variants (SVs) of human aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) are catalytic nulls thought to confer regulatory functions. One example from human histidyl-tRNA synthetase (HARS), termed HARS because the splicing event resulted in a protein encompassing the WHEP-TRS domain of HARS (a structurally conserved domain found in multiple aaRSs), is enriched in human lung and up-regulated by inflammatory cytokines in lung and immune cells.
