Co-targeting of Glial Activation and Inflammation by tsRNA-Gln-I-0095 for Treating Retinal Ischemic Pathologies

Study on the Regulatory Mechanism of tsRNA-Gln-i-0095 in Retinal Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury Academic Background Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury is a critical pathological mechanism in various ocular diseases, including glaucoma, central retinal vein occlusion, and retinopathy of prematurity. I/R injury leads to the death of retinal gangl...

Regulation of Calcium Homeostasis in Endoplasmic Reticulum–Mitochondria Crosstalk: Implications for Skeletal Muscle Atrophy

The Critical Role of Calcium in Skeletal Muscle Function and Its Interaction with Mitochondria and the Endoplasmic Reticulum Academic Background Calcium ions (Ca²⁺) are crucial intracellular signaling molecules, particularly in the excitation-contraction coupling (ECC) of skeletal muscle. The contraction of skeletal muscle relies on the release and...

Poldip2 Mediates Brain Vascular Permeability by Regulating ROS-Mediated ZO-1 Phosphorylation and Localization at the Interendothelial Border

POLDIP2 Regulates Cerebral Vascular Permeability by Modulating ROS-Mediated ZO-1 Phosphorylation and Localization Background The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a critical component of the central nervous system (CNS), composed of brain endothelial cells, astrocytes, pericytes, and neurons. Brain endothelial cells form a continuous physical barrier th...

N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy: A Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis

N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy is a Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis Academic Background Seipin is a protein encoded by the human BSCL2 gene and the yeast SEI1 gene, forming an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound homo-oligomer. This oligomer plays a crucial role in targeting ER-lipid droplet (LD) contact sites, facilitating the d...

PRDX5 and PRDX6 Translocation and Oligomerization in Bull Sperm: A Response to Cryopreservation-Induced Oxidative Stress

PRDX5 and PRDX6 in Oxidative Stress Response During Cryopreservation of Bull Sperm Academic Background Cryopreservation is a critical step in animal breeding and assisted reproductive technologies, particularly in the preservation of bull sperm. However, oxidative stress generated during cryopreservation significantly reduces sperm quality, leading...
