Alzheimer's disease (AD), a leading cause of dementia, represents a critical unmet global medical need. While the precise mechanisms underlying AD pathogenesis remain elusive, increasing evidence underscores the pivotal role of neuroinflammation in driving cognitive impairment. N6-methyladenosine (m6A), an epigenetic modification regulating RNA metabolism, has been found to be dysregulated in AD.

Circular RNAs are associated with cardiovascular disease, including coronary artery disease, but the mechanisms have not been completely elucidated. We found a new protein, circBTBD7-420aa, encoded by hsa_circ_0000563. Our results suggest that circBTBD7-420aa may inhibit the abnormal proliferation and migration of human coronary artery smooth muscle cells by promoting SLC3A2 degradation through the ubiquitin-proteasome pathway.

Introduction: Nitrogen-fixing bacteria (NFB) have a pivotal impact on the nitrogen cycle within agroforestry systems. The organic management of the (sanqi)- agroforestry (SPA) system resulted in nitrogen deficiency because of the lack of application of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, assessing the variability in NFB due to the cultivation of sanqi in the SPA system becomes crucial.

Regulatory T cells (Tregs) have been shown to be involved in the induction of transplantation tolerance in numerous models. Our previous work demonstrated that methyltransferase-like 14 (METTL14) loss impaired Treg function and hindered the establishment of transplantation tolerance. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) has become a dominant economic and health burden worldwide, and the role of autophagy in CAD requires further clarification. In this study, we comprehensively revealed the association between autophagy flux and CAD from multiple hierarchies. We explored autophagy-associated long noncoding RNA (lncRNA) and the mechanisms underlying oxidative stress-induced human coronary artery endothelial cells (HCAECs) injury.

Inspired by the inherent recuperative ability of organisms in nature, researchers have dedicated significant efforts towards developing self-healing hydrogel sensors. Although the works on self-healing hydrogels have made great progress, achieving hydrogel sensors combining with rapid and efficient healing capability, excellent mechanical properties and high sensing sensitivity remains a challenging task. In this study, we proposed a novel approach for fabricating a self-healing conductive zwitterionic hydrogel sensor by adding carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCs) and oxidized hyaluronic acid (OHA) to induce dynamic Schiff base reaction, and graphene oxide (GO) nanosheets as physical crosslinker.

As classical soft materials, conductive hydrogels have attracted wide attention in the field of strain sensors due to their unique flexibility and conductivity. However, there are still challenges in developing conductive hydrogels with comprehensive mechanical strength, self-healing ability and sensitive sensing properties. In this paper, a novel PAV/CMGG hydrogel was prepared by a simple one-pot method through the introduction of 1-vinyl-3-butylimidazolium bromide (VBIMBr), acrylic acid (AA), carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) and AlCl.

Article Synopsis
  • The study explores pharmacological differences between direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) and their impact on hemostasis in patients, emphasizing the need for deeper understanding.
  • Blood samples from patients on dabigatran, rivaroxaban, apixaban, and warfarin were analyzed using various assays to measure fibrin network permeability, clotting, and other related components.
  • Results suggest that dabigatran provides stronger anticoagulation effects compared to apixaban and rivaroxaban, but the findings are primarily influenced by the assay methods used rather than clinical outcomes.

While Coronavirus Disease in 2019 (COVID-19) may no longer be classified as a global public health emergency, it still poses a significant risk at least due to its association with thrombotic events. This study aims to reaffirm our previous hypothesis that COVID-19 is fundamentally a thrombotic disease. To accomplish this, we have undertaken an extensive literature review focused on assessing the comprehensive impact of COVID-19 on the entire hemostatic system.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is one of the most burdening diseases of the century with no disease-modifying treatment at this time. Nonhuman primates (NHPs) share genetic, anatomical, and physiological similarities with humans, making them ideal model animals for investigating the pathogenesis of AD and potential therapies. However, the use of NHPs in AD research has been hindered by the paucity of AD monkey models due to their long generation time, ethical considerations, and technical challenges in genetically modifying monkeys.
