Right ventricular volume overload (RVVO) is a common hemodynamic abnormality in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) and frequently leads to pathological cardiac remodeling. Our previous research demonstrated that RVVO disrupts the metabolic maturation of cardiomyocytes. Mitochondrial metabolic maturation, a crucial process in postnatal cardiomyocyte development, remains poorly understood under RVVO conditions. In this study, an mouse RVVO model was established on postnatal day 7 by creating a fistula between the abdominal aorta and inferior vena cava, confirmed by abdominal ultrasound and echocardiography. Transcriptomic analyses revealed significant downregulation of genes linked to mitochondrial metabolic maturation. Transmission electron microscopy showed impaired mitochondrial structure and maturation markers, while Seahorse assays demonstrated a marked reduction in oxidative phosphorylation rates in RVVO cardiomyocytes. These findings collectively indicated that RVVO restricted mitochondrial metabolic maturation in the postnatal RV. Targeting mitochondrial metabolic maturation could offer a promising therapeutic strategy to mitigate RVVO-induced pathological remodeling.

Cassava is a crucial source of daily calorie intake for millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) but has an inferior protein content. Despite numerous attempts utilizing both traditional and biotechnological methods, efforts to address protein deficiency in cassava have yet to meet with much success. We aim to leverage modern biotechnologies to enhance cassava's nutritional value by creating bioengineered cassava cultivars with increased protein and starch content.

Objective: Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a promising strategy with significant clinical application potential for tumor treatment. However, the tumor hypoxia and limited efficacy against tumor metastasis present significant limitations in the clinical application of PDT. To alleviate tumor hypoxia for PDT against tumor growth and metastasis, we developed a self-oxygenated immunoliposome by encapsulating the catalase (CAT) within the liposome cavity and loading the photosensitizer chlorin e6 (Ce6) and immunoadjuvant MPLA in the lipid bilayer of the immunoliposome (CAT@LP-Ce6-A).

Background/aims: Previously, we advocated the importance of classifying hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) based on physiological functions. This study aims to classify HCC by focusing on liver-intrinsic metabolism and glycolytic pathway in cancer cells.
Methods: Comprehensive RNA/DNA sequencing, immunohistochemistry, and radiological evaluations were performed on HCC tissues from the training cohort (n=136) and validated in 916 public samples.

Hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) is one of the main causes of disability in middle-aged and elderly people, as well as high mortality rates and long-term physical impairments in newborns. The pathological manifestations of HIBD include neuronal damage and loss of myelin sheaths. Tau protein is an important microtubule-associated protein in brain, exists in neurons and oligodendrocytes, and regulates various cellular activities such as cell differentiation and maturation, axonal transport, and maintenance of cellular cytoskeleton structure.

Receptor binding of TGF-β and related ligands such as Activin-A requires cleavage of a furin site in their dimeric precursor proteins. Melanoma cells cleave one Activin-A subunit independently of furin and related proprotein convertases, raising questions of how this half-processed intermediate is generated and whether it influences tumor growth. Here, an siRNA library screen for proteases mediating this furin-independent "hemicleavage" identifies kallikrein (Klk)-8.
