Aggregation of TAR-DNA binding protein-43 (TDP-43) is a pathological feature present in nearly 97 % cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), making it an attractive target for pathogenic studies and drug screening. Here, we have performed a high-throughput screening of 1500 compounds from a natural product library and identified that lycorine, a naturally occurring alkaloid, significantly decreases the level of TDP-43 in a cellular model. We further demonstrate that lycorine reduces the level of TDP-43 both through inhibiting its synthesis and by promoting its degradation by the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS).

Acute kidney injury (AKI) has been noticed after both COVID-19 vaccination and infection, affecting risk-benefit evaluations and vaccine hesitancy. We conducted a large-scale N3C cohort study to compare AKI incidence following COVID-19 vaccination and infection. Participants from December 2020 to August 2023 were divided into two groups based on their initially observed COVID-19 antigen exposure: COVID-19 vaccination group (n = 2,953,219) and COVID-19 infection group (n = 3,616,802).

Background: Oxidative stress-induced inflammation is a major pathogenic mechanism in sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE). We hypothesized that regulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by the neuropeptide orexin-A could prevent SAE-induced oxidative stress and inflammation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of orexin-A on oxidative stress and inflammation in SAE in mice.

Background: Facial aging (FA) is a complex process influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Gut microbiota (GM), gut microbiota metabolic pathways (GMMPs), and blood metabolites (BMs) have been implicated in the regulation of FA, but the causal and mediating effects of these factors remain unclear.
Methods: We used summary-level data from genome-wide association studies (GWAS) of 16S rRNA gene sequencing data for GM (n = 18 340), GWAS of GMMPs (n = 7738), BMs (n = 24 925), and GWAS of FA (n = 423 999).

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a primary intracranial malignant tumor with the highest mortality and morbidity among all malignant central nervous system tumors. Tanshinone IIA is a fat-soluble active ingredient obtained from Salvia miltiorrhiza, which has an inhibitory effect against various cancers. We designed and synthesized a novel L-shaped ortho-quinone analog TE5 with tanshinone IIA as the lead compound and tested its antitumor activity against GBM.

Ion channel activation upon ligand gating triggers a myriad of biological events and, therefore, evolution of ligand gating mechanism is of fundamental importance. TRPM2, a typical ancient ion channel, is activated by adenosine diphosphate ribose (ADPR) and calcium and its activation has evolved from a simple mode in invertebrates to a more complex one in vertebrates, but the evolutionary process is still unknown. Molecular evolutionary analysis of TRPM2s from more than 280 different animal species has revealed that, the C-terminal NUDT9-H domain has evolved from an enzyme to a ligand binding site for activation, while the N-terminal MHR domain maintains a conserved ligand binding site.
