Burns are dynamic injuries characterized by an initial zone of necrosis that progresses to compromise surrounding tissue. Acute inflammation and cell death are two main factors contributing to burn progression. These processes are modulated by Connexin43 (Cx43) hemichannels and gap junctions in burns and chronic wounds.

Inflammatory mediators tumor necrosis factor (TNF) and interleukin 1 beta (IL1β), primarily derived from hepatic macrophages in the liver, play a crucial role in the progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). Meanwhile, intravenously injected exosomes are mainly distributed in the liver and predominantly taken up by hepatic macrophage. Herein, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of targeted inhibition of TNF and IL1β expression in hepatic macrophages via exosomes as a potential therapeutic strategy for NASH.

The transcription factor, early growth response-1 (Egr-1) is the product of a prototypic immediate-early gene that plays an integral role in the pathogenesis of multiple cardiovascular diseases. Egr-1 has been linked with atherogenesis, myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury, cardiac fibrosis and heart failure. Egr-1 expression is triggered by a host of factors including cytokines, hormones, growth factors, hyperglycaemia, biomechanical forces and oxygen deprivation.

Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides can bind to target RNAs and cleave them using RNase H. Despite the high activity of antisense oligodeoxynucleotides modified with locked nucleic acids (LNA) at several bases at both the 5' and 3' ends (LNA gapmer), toxicity has been reported, necessitating additional backbone modifications to reduce toxicity. In this study, we introduced a sulfonamide linkage into the LNA gapmer to elucidate its fundamental properties such as hybridization, base recognition, and induction of RNase H activity.

C-repeat binding factors (CsCBFs) play a pivotal role in regulating cold response in higher plants. Camellia sinensis cv. Baiye 1, a representative albino tea cultivar, has been identified as temperature-sensitive based on long-term observations by tea farmers.
