Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) derived from M2 microglia (M2-microglia-derived small [M2-sEVs]) contribute to central nervous system repair, although the underlying mechanism remains unknown. In this study, we aimed identify through which microRNA-124 (miR-124) carried in sEVs promotes neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and neuronal differentiation ischemic mouse brain.M2-sEVs with or without miR-124 knockdown were injected intravenously for 7 consecutive days after transient middle...

Abstract Stress in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) may perturb proteostasis and activates unfolded protein response (UPR). UPR activation is frequently observed cancer cells believed to fuel progression. Here, we report that one of three sensors, ATF6α, was associated with prostate (PCa) development, while both genetic pharmacological inhibition ATF6α impaired survival castration‐resistance PCa (CRPC) cells. Transcriptomic analyses identified molecular pathways deregulated upon depletion,...

Abstract Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have shown great potential for treating various diseases. Translating EVs‐based therapy from bench to bedside remains challenging due inefficient delivery of EVs the injured area and lack techniques visualize entire targeting process. Here we developed a dopamine surface functionalization platform that facilitates easy simultaneous conjugation peptide multi‐mode imaging probes EVs. Utilizing this concurrently modified M2 microglia‐derived (M2‐EVs) with...

Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with complex phenotypic, etiological, biological, clinical heterogeneities. Previous studies have proposed different clinically relevant subtypes HNSCC, but little known about its corresponding prognosis or suitable treatment strategy. Here, we identified 101 core genes from three prognostic pathways, including mTORC1 signaling, unfold protein response, UV response UP, in 124 pairs tumor matched normal...

Abstract Benzophenones are widely supplemented in personal care products, but little is known about its neurodevelopmental toxicity. The previous epidemiological study discovered a negative correlation between maternal exposure to benzophenone metabolite 4‐hydroxybenzophenone (4HBP) and child's neurodevelopment, yet the causal relationship detailed mechanism remain be defined. Here, it reported that prenatal, not postnatal, environmentally relevant level of 4HBP impairs hippocampus...

Recent investigations have revealed that oxidative stress can lead to neuronal damage and disrupt mitochondrial endoplasmic reticulum functions after intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). However, there is limited evidence elucidating their role in maintaining homeostasis. Metabolomics analysis, RNA sequencing, CUT&Tag-seq were performed investigate the mechanism underlying interaction between PERK/ATF4 branch of (ERS) one-carbon (1C) metabolism during resistance stress. The association 1C ERS ICH...

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) are common environmental contaminants widely detected in humans. Previous studies have linked PFASs exposure to adverse birth outcomes. However, the association between maternal hemoglobin (Hb) hematocrit (HCT) remains unclear. We aimed explore relationship with Hb HCT during pregnancy. The present cohort study included 1044 pregnant women from Wuhan, China. Maternal were measured first, second third trimesters, 13 cord sera. Mixed linear models...

The 2021 Mw 7.4 Maduo (Madoi) earthquake that struck the northern Tibetan Plateau resulted in widespread coseismic deformation features, such as surface ruptures and soil liquefaction. By utilizing unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) photogrammetry technology, we accurately recognize map 39,286 liquefaction sites within a 1.5 km wide zone along rupture. We then systematically analyze distribution characteristics possible influencing factors. density remains on higher level 250 m from rupture...
