Association between hippocampal ferroptosis-related changes and behavioral alterations in CCI rats with neuropathic pain

This study aimed to characterize behavioral alterations induced by chronic constriction injury (CCI) of the sciatic nerve and hippocampal ferroptosis in rats and to explore the association between hippocampal ferroptosis and behavioral changes accompanying neuropathic pain (NP)....

Puerarin‑Loaded pH‑Responsive ZIF‑90 Nanoparticles Ameliorate Osteoporosis via Enhancing H3K18 Lactylation and Suppressing Aberrant Osteoclast Activation

ABSTRACT Osteoporosis is characterized by dysregulated osteoclast activity, leading to excessive bone resorption and structural damage. In this study, we developed pH‐responsive ZIF‐90 nanoparticles loaded with puerarin (PU) (ZIF‐90@PU) for microenvironment‐responsive osteoporosi...

Integrated machine learning and clinical validation identify COL21A1 as a potential biomarker for sarcopenia

Sarcopenia is a progressive skeletal muscle disorder characterized by loss of mass, strength, and function. However, reliable molecular biomarkers for early detection remain limited. This study aimed to identify and validate potential biomarkers for sarcopenia through a combinati...

Electrical Pudendal Nerve Stimulation as an Initial Neuromodulation Strategy for Neurogenic Urinary Retention

Background and objective Chronic neurogenic urinary retention often requires assisted emptying and remains challenging to treat. We evaluated whether electrical pudendal nerve stimulation (EPNS) improves bladder emptying and compared short-term outcomes with a standard sacral neu...

Atractylodis Rhizoma-derived nanovesicles suppress adipocyte IDO1/kynurenine-AhR-androgen receptor signaling in a mouse model of obesity-associated PCOS

Abstract Background Obesity-associated polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by metabolic dysfunction, adipose inflammation and androgen excess, but the adipose mechanism linking metabolic stress to androgen-related pathology remains unclear. This study aimed to deter...

MTAP deficiency in lung cancer cells enhances proliferation and migration and increases vulnerability to bone metastasis

Lung cancer continues to be the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. The advent of molecular targeted therapies has significantly changed the treatment landscape. Therefore, identifying new molecular targets is essential for the development of more effective treatment...

Effectiveness of telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Telehealth-based cardiac rehabilitation programs have emerged as a promising alternative to traditional center-based rehabilitation, offering improved accessibility and convenience for patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This review aimed to evaluate the...

Colorectal cancer-derived IGFBP2 promotes liver metastasis by driving intrahepatic fibrotic pre-metastatic niche formation

Colorectal cancer (CRC) liver metastasis (LM) is a leading cause of cancer-related death, with pre-metastatic niche (PMN) formation being critical for metastasis. Insulin-like growth factor binding protein 2 (IGFBP2) is overexpressed in metastatic CRC, but its role in intrahepati...

A dual role of PIEZO2 in neuropathic pain: driving peripheral sensitization and enabling mechanical loading-induced analgesia

Mechanotherapy, a form of mechanical loading (ML), effectively relieves tactile allodynia-associated neuropathic pain by targeting sensitization points stimulated by PIEZO2, a mechanosensitive ion channel. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying peripheral sensitization and...

10.6 μm laser moxibustion can improve oxidative stress and abnormal energy metabolism in liver of hypothyroidism rats through Nrf2/HO-1 and Nrf2/PGC-1α/TFAM pathways

Hypothyroidism (HypoT) is a systemic hypometabolic disorder characterized by thyroid hormone deficiency and is closely associated with oxidative stress (OS). The hypothalamic-pituitary-thyroid (HPT) axis plays a key role in regulating thyroid hormone secretion and the Nrf2 signal...
