The ability to assay the molecular composition of biological systems with single-cell resolution has revolutionized our understanding of tissue heterogeneity and function. Recent advances in single-cell proteomics (SCP) now enable the unbiased quantification of the proteome to a depth of several thousand proteins across hundreds of cells. Yet, broader adoption beyond specialized groups remains limited due to the need for specific equipment and expertise.

This review explores the multifaceted exposures in the workplace that contribute to cardiovascular diseases (CVD), including physical, ergonomics, chemical, biological, psychosocial, and emerging occupational hazards. These well-documented occupational hazards have long been linked to heart disease. Exposures arising from these hazards present significant concerns for worker health and safety.

Article Synopsis
  • Autophagy is a vital process that helps cells break down and recycle their components, with the final step being the degradation of autophagic cargo in lysosomes.* -
  • Researchers used CRISPR/Cas9 technology to identify RNAseK as a crucial transmembrane protein that regulates the degradation of autophagosomes in cells, specifically affecting cargo breakdown while leaving other lysosomal functions intact.* -
  • The study found that without RNAseK, the levels of certain hydrolases decrease, and there is an accumulation of VPS4a, indicating a disruption in the delivery pathway necessary for lysosomal degradation.*
