Endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) is a cellular reprogramming mechanism by which endothelial cells acquire a mesenchymal phenotype. Endothelial cell dysfunction is the initiating factor of atherosclerosis (AS). Increasing evidence suggests that EndMT contributes to the occurrence and progression of atherosclerotic lesions and plaque instability.

Targeted inhibition of mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) complex generation is an emerging and promising cancer treatment strategy, but limited targets and specific inhibitors have been reported. Leucine-rich pentatricopeptide repeat-containing protein (LRPPRC) is an atypical RNA-binding protein that regulates the stability of all 13 mitochondrial DNA-encoded mRNA (mt-mRNA) and thus participates in the synthesis of the OXPHOS complex. LRPPRC is also a prospective therapeutic target for lung adenocarcinoma, serving as a promising target for OXPHOS inhibition.

T-box transcription factor 21 (TBX21) plays a vital role in regulating immune responses, systemic diseases, and tumor progression. However, the role of TBX21 in colorectal cancer (CRC) metastasis remains unclear. In this study, we observed that TBX21 expression was marked decreased in CRC tissues compared to normal tissues and was negatively correlated with TNM stages.

Endothelial inflammation caused by hyperglycemia contributes to cardiovascular complications in patients with diabetes. Diabetic kidney injury (DKI) is one of the most significant manifestations of diabetes-related renal damage, encompassing both acute and early chronic kidney injury. DKI involves pathological mechanisms linked to inflammatory responses and early renal damage, which, if left unchecked, may progress to diabetic kidney disease.

Background: Acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) are significant burdens on global health. Remimazolam (REM), a novel sedative, has shown potential in its anti-inflammatory effects. However, a lack of evidence currently hinders our ability to determine if REM can improve ALI/ARDS.
