Abstract Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) encompasses a broad range of conditions, commencing with simple steatosis and progressing to non‐alcoholic steatohepatitis, the possibility further deterioration into fibrosis, cirrhosis, ultimately, hepatocellular carcinoma. Unfortunately, there is currently no approved medication for treating NAFLD‐associated steatosis. This underscores need improved therapeutic approaches that can modulate lipid metabolism halt transition from chronic...

Osteoporosis is a common degenerative bone disease. The treatment of osteoporosis remains clinical challenge in light the increasing aging population. Human dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs), type mesenchymal (MSCs), are easy to obtain and have high proliferation ability, playing an important role osteoporosis. However, MSCs undergo apoptosis within short time when used vivo; therefore, apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) attracted attention. Currently, osteogenic effect DPSC-derived apoVs unknown; this...

Background MicroRNAs (miRNAs) have pivotal roles in gene regulation. Circulating miRNAs been developed as novel candidate non-invasive biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment response diseases. However, that causal effects on Parkinson’s Disease (PD) remain largely unknown. To investigate the relationships between PD, here we conduct a Mendelian randomization (MR) study. Methods This study utilized summary-level data of respective genome-wide association studies (GWAS) 2083 seven...

Proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) have shifted the paradigm for drug development via target protein degradation. However, PROTACs may exhibit systemic toxicity to normal cells due indiscriminate degradation and utility of inhibitors as a warhead targeting. Here, we propose new strategy developing activatable cell-specific histone deacetylase (HDAC) with minimal side effects caging warhead. Molecular docking reveals that hydroxyl group HDAC inhibitor is crucial An enzyme-activatable...

Apoptotic vesicles (apoVs) are apoptotic-cell-derived nanosized that take on dominant roles in regulating bone homeostasis. We have demonstrated mesenchymal stem cell (MSC)-derived apoVs promising therapeutic agents for regeneration. However, clinical translation of MSC-derived has been hindered due to expansion and nuclear substance. As another appealing source apoV therapy, blood cells could potentially eliminate these limitations. whether can release during apoptosis is uncertain, the...

Mammals developed antioxidant systems to defend against oxidative damage in their daily life. Enzymatic antioxidants and low molecular weight (LMWAs) constitute major parts of the systems. Nuclear factor (erythroid-derived 2)-like 2 (Nrf2, encoded by Nrf2 gene) is a central transcriptional regulator, regulating transcription, many enzymes. Frugivorous bats eat large amounts fruits that contain high levels LMWAs such as vitamin C, thus, reliance on might greatly reduce need for enzymes...
