Study on the role and mechanism of CIH-activated ferroptosis in secondary cognitive impairment due to OSAHS

Objective This study investigates whether chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) induces cognitive deficits through IL-6/hepcidin-mediated ferroptosis in patients and animal models with obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS). Clinical and animal research demonstrates that...

Prohibitin 1 orchestrates mitochondrial-ER crosstalk via the VDAC1-GRP75-IP3R axis to drive malignancy in gastric cancer

<title>Abstract</title> <bold>Background</bold>: Mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum (ER) membranes (MAMs), serving as critical hubs for mitochondrial- ER interactions, play a pivotal role in cancer progression. Prohibitin 1 (PHB1), an inner mitochondrial membrane prote...

Preparation of a new fixed-combination carteolol-netarsudil ophthalmic solution via one-pot pH-adjusting solubilization strategy for glaucoma treatment

Currently, the commercial fixed-combination of two agents is facing several clinical challenges, including suboptimal intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, which requires multiple daily administrations, compromised bioavailability due to rapid tear film clearance and nasolacrimal...

A retrospective comparative study of chronic subdural hematoma in patients with or without decreased level of consciousness

Abstract Background In this retrospective cross-sectional study, we aimed to investigate the effects of preoperative decreased level of consciousness (DOC) on 6-month outcome and the risk factors that compromised the consciousness at admission in patients with chronic subdural he...

Translational insights and clinical challenges of targeting cancer stem cells

Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are tumor cell subsets with self-renewal, multilineage differentiation, and tumor-initiating capacity that sustain cancer initiation, progression, metastasis, and relapse. Targeting CSCs therefore represents a promising route to improve the durab...

The landscape and plasticity of transposable element expression in an adult stem cell of high physiological and clinical significance

Abstract Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to diverse aspects of stem cell biology, particularly in germline and pluripotent stem cells, which typically exhibit more open chromatin. In human adult stem cells (ASCs), however, a comprehensive framework describing the landscape...

Latent Profiles of Post-Stroke Fatigue and Their Association with Anxiety, Depression, and Sleep in Patients with First-Ever Stroke: A Cross-Sectional Study

Objectives: This study aimed to identify latent profiles of post-stroke fatigue (PSF) and examined their associations with anxiety symptoms, depressive symptoms, and sleep quality among first-ever stroke survivors. Methods: From December 2023 to May 2024, participants were recrui...
