Valerenic acid attenuates pathological myocardial hypertrophy by promoting the utilization of multiple substrates in the mitochondrial energy metabolism

Academic Background Pathological Myocardial Hypertrophy (PMH) is an adaptive response of the heart under various pathological stimuli, but its long-term development ultimately leads to Heart Failure (HF). Although some understanding of the pathogenesis of PMH has been established, its mortality rate remains high, and there is an urgent need for new...

5-HT7R Enhances Neuroimmune Resilience and Alleviates Meningitis by Promoting CCR5 Ubiquitination

5-HT7R Enhances Neuroimmune Resilience and Alleviates Meningitis by Promoting CCR5 Ubiquitination Academic Background Bacterial meningitis is a rapidly onset, highly fatal disease with epidemic potential, especially when caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae (S.p.) infection. The destruction of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) leads to the release of inf...

HNRNPR-mediated UPF3B mRNA Splicing Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis

HNRNPR-Mediated UPF3B mRNA Splicing Drives Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metastasis In recent years, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has become one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide due to its highly invasive and metastatic nature. The mechanisms underlying HCC metastasis are complex, with abnormal alternative splicing (AS) playing...

Collecting Duct NCOR1 Controls Blood Pressure by Regulating Mineralocorticoid Receptor

Collecting Duct NCOR1 Regulates Blood Pressure by Controlling Mineralocorticoid Receptor Academic Background Hypertension is one of the major risk factors for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases globally, with complex and not fully elucidated mechanisms. The kidney plays a critical role in blood pressure regulation, particularly in the proc...

NCAPD3 Promotes Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Progression Through Modulating SIRT1 Expression in an H3K9 Monomethylation-Dependent Manner

Study on the Pro-Cancer Mechanism and Application Value of NCAPD3 in Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Academic Background Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common hematological malignancy, characterized by significant clinical and biological heterogeneity. Although advances in treatment have been made in recent years, a subset of patie...

Melatonin Alleviates High Temperature Exposure Induced Fetal Growth Restriction via the Gut-Placenta-Fetus Axis in Pregnant Mice

Melatonin Alleviates High Temperature Exposure-Induced Fetal Growth Restriction via the Gut-Placenta-Fetus Axis Research Background Global climate warming has become a significant threat to human health, particularly affecting pregnant women and fetuses. Studies have shown that high-temperature exposure increases the risk of adverse pregnancy outco...
