Article Synopsis
  • CHIP (Carboxy-terminus of Hsc70-interacting protein) is an E3 ligase that helps regulate protein stability and plays a crucial role in reducing damage from acute kidney injury (AKI), especially related to cisplatin treatment.
  • In cisplatin-induced AKI, CHIP levels decrease, leading to increased oxidative stress and cell death in renal proximal tubular cells.
  • The study shows that CHIP promotes the degradation of NUR77, a protein that contributes to apoptosis, thus suggesting a protective mechanism against kidney damage caused by cisplatin.

Various lipid metabolism-related factors are essential for Zika virus (ZIKV) replication. In this study, we revealed a crucial role of diacylglycerol O-acyltransferase 2 (DGAT2) in ZIKV replication using a short hairpin RNA-based gene knockdown technique. The replication of ZIKV was significantly inhibited by DGAT2 depletion in multiple cell lines and restored by trans-complementation with DGAT2.

Emergency wounds are often accompanied by bacterial infection, oxidative stress, and excessive inflammation due to the inability to quickly close and stop bleeding, resulting in chronic wounds that are difficult to heal. Clinically, surgical suturing is the fastest method for wound closure, but it is only suitable for wounds with small bleeding volumes and causes unsightly scar formation. Consequently, there is a critical need for hemostatic dressings versatile enough to address a spectrum of diverse and intricate wounds, especially in emergency scenarios.

Background And Purpose: We aimed to investigate the association between critical perfusion delay and poor outcome among recanalized stroke patients with anterior large-vessel occlusion, and to use pretreatment hypoperfusion biomarkers on CT to predict futile recanalization even after successful thrombectomy.

Methods: An ischemic region with time-to-maximum (Tmax) > 12s-10s was defined as critical hypoperfusion, Tmax > 8s as moderate hypoperfusion, and hypoperfusion intensity ratio (HIR, volumetric ratio of Tmax > 10s / Tmax > 6s) represented for severity of critical hypoperfusion and rCBF < 30% for ischemic core. The associations between these CT perfusion characteristics and favorable or unfavorable outcome (mRS 0-2 versus 3-6) were analyzed in univariable regression, and a multivariable model was then used to predict futile recanalization.

Malignant transformation is concomitant with excessive activation of stress response pathways. Heat shock proteins (HSPs) are stress-inducible proteins that play a role in folding and processing proteins, contributing to the non-oncogene addiction of stressed tumor cells. However, the detailed role of the HSP family in osteosarcoma has not been investigated.

Enzyme-responsive microgel with controlled drug release, lubrication and adhesion capability for osteoarthritis attenuation.

Acta Biomater

December 2024

Division of Orthopaedic Surgery, Department of Orthopaedics, Nanfang Hospital, Southern Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong, China. Electronic address:

The treatment of osteoarthritis (OA) remains challenging due to the narrow therapeutic window and rapid clearance of therapeutic agents, even with intra-articular administration, resulting in a low treatment index. Recent advancements in local drug delivery systems have yet to overcome the issues of uncontrolled burst release and short retention time, leading to suboptimal OA treatment outcome. Herein, we developed a methacrylate-crosslinking hyaluronic acid (HA) microgel (abbreviated as CXB-HA-CBP) that covalently conjugates the anti-inflammatory drug celecoxib (CXB) via a metalloproteinase-2 (MMP-2)-responsive peptide linker (GGPLGLAGGC) and a collagen II binding peptide (WYRGRLC).

Human parathyroid hormone (1-34) (PTH) exhibits osteoanabolic and osteocatabolic effects, with shorter plasma exposure times favoring bone formation. Subcutaneous injection (SCI) is the conventional delivery route for PTH but faces low delivery efficiency due to limited passive diffusion and the obstruction of the vascular endothelial barrier, leading to prolonged drug exposure times and reduced osteoanabolic effects. In this work, a microcurrent delivery system (MDS) based on multimicrochannel microneedle arrays (MMAs) is proposed, achieving high efficiency and safety for PTH transdermal delivery.
