Research Report on Changes in the Metabolome of Senescent Myoblasts Research Background As age increases, the function of skeletal muscle gradually deteriorates, a phenomenon closely related to the senescence of muscle stem cells (satellite cells). Satellite cells play a key role in muscle injury repair. However, during the aging process, the funct...
New Discovery in the Mechanism of Radioresistance in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The Role of the RFC4 Gene Academic Background Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common gastrointestinal malignancies in China, and radiotherapy is a crucial treatment modality. However, radioresistance in tumor cells is a major cause ...
Mettl14 Promotes Ferroptosis in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells During Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm by Stabilizing the m6A Modification of ACSL4 Academic Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a severe vascular disease that often leads to aortic rupture and acute dissection, with extremely high mortality rates. Currently, the primary treatment for T...
Novel Endocytosis Inhibitors Block HIV-1 Tat Protein Entry into Neural Cells Academic Background HIV-1 (human immunodeficiency virus type 1) infection not only leads to immune system exhaustion but is also closely associated with HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND). Although combined antiretroviral therapy (cART) has significantly improv...
Bone Marrow-Derived NGFR+ Dendritic Cells Regulate Arterial Remodeling Background Introduction Atherosclerosis is the primary pathological basis of cardiovascular disease, and its incidence continues to rise globally. Although extensive research has revealed the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and led to the development of various therapeutic drugs...
Syntaxin 4-Enhanced Plasma Membrane Repair is Independent of Dysferlin in Skeletal Muscle Background Introduction Plasma membrane repair (PMR) is a crucial process for cells to maintain membrane integrity, preventing cell death, especially in vital organs such as skeletal muscle. Dysferlin, a sarcolemmal calcium-binding protein, has been shown to p...
