CD137 signaling aggravates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by inhibiting mitophagy mediated NLRP3 inflammasome activation

189 views | May 26 2023

CD137 signaling exacerbates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury by suppressing mitophagy and promoting NLRP3 inflammasome activation via increased mitochondrial ROS generation. [Read the Full Post]

Kv1.3 blockade by ShK186 modulates CD4+ effector memory T-cell activity of patients with Granulomatosis with polyangiitis

280 views | May 19 2023

The study suggests that Kv1.3 blockade using ShK-186 may be a potential treatment strategy for GPA by modulating the activity of CD4+TEM cells and reducing the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, with less harmful side effects than current immunosuppressive regimens. [Read the Full Post]

Urolithin A Produced by Novel Microbial Fermentation Possesses Anti-aging Effects by Improving Mitophagy and Reducing Reactive Oxygen Species in Caenorhabditis elegans

67 views | May 02 2023

The study identified Lactobacillus plantarum strains that produce urolithin A and found that fermented pomegranate juice extracts from these strains can extend lifespan in C. elegans by improving mitochondrial function and/or reducing reactive oxygen species levels, highlighting the potential for developing anti-aging products.

Neurotherapeutic Effects of Quercetin and Its Metabolite Compounds on Cognitive Impairment and Parkinson's Disease: An In Silico Study

461 views | Mar 22 2023

This study identified the metabolomic profile and potential therapeutic effects of quercetin and its metabolites in cognitive impairment and Parkinson's disease, but further research is needed to confirm these findings in vivo and address potential adverse effects. [Read the Full Post]

Defining the role of mTOR pathway in the regulation of stem cells of glioblastoma

168 views | Mar 19 2023

Inhibition of the mTOR pathway, particularly with the small molecule inhibitor Torin2, shows potential as a strategy for targeting the cancer stem cells of glioblastoma, a deadly brain tumor characterized by resistance to conventional therapies. [Read the Full Post]

Targeting peripheral immune organs with self-assembling prodrug nanoparticles ameliorates allogeneic heart transplant rejection

169 views | Mar 18 2023

The passage describes the development of a self-assembling nanoparticle, DHA-PP242 nanoparticle (DPNP), which targets immune organs to regulate T cell function and has shown promise in reducing inflammatory response and extending the survival of grafts in an experimental model of heart transplantation.
