Article Abstract
A significant proportion of patients placed on long-term mechanical circulatory support for end-stage heart failure can be weaned from mechanical assistance after functional recovery of their native heart ("bridge to recovery"). The pathophysiological mechanisms implicated in reverse remodeling that cause a sustained functional myocardial recovery have recently become the subject of intensive research, expected to provide information with a view to accurately identify reliable prognostic indicators of recovery. In addition, this kind of information will enable changes in the strategy of myocardial recovery by modifying the duration and scale of the unloading regimen or by combining it with other treatments that promote reverse remodeling.

Objectives: Exosomes play a crucial role in intercellular communication and may contribute to the development of various diseases. Nevertheless, their role in Nasal Polyps (NPs) remains poorly understood. Herein, Nasal Polyp Fibroblasts (NPF) were used to release exosomes, and epithelial cells were cocultured with NPF-derived exosomes to analyze Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) in Chronic Rhinosinusitis (CRS).

Radiotherapy (RT) is a key component of comprehensive cancer treatment regimens; nevertheless, its concomitant immunosuppression may diminish therapeutic efficacy. In this study, we developed an injectable hydrogel system for the local delivery of PROteolysis TArgeting Chimeras (PROTACs), achieved by loading tumor cell membrane-fused liposome nanoparticles to enhance the anti-tumor effect. The system targeted Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4), and combined treatment with RT promoted DNA damage, reduced DNA repair and decreased tumor cell proliferation and survival.

Atherosclerosis (AS), a chronic inflammatory disease and a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Macrophage-mediated lipid uptake and inflammation are central to plaque formation. TREM2, an immunoreceptor expressed in macrophages, has been reported to regulate lipid metabolism and inflammation, yet its role in atherosclerosis remains controversial.

Environmental stress contributes to the development of depression through neuro-immune interactions, yet the underlying molecular mechanisms and associated clinical diagnostic biomarkers remain unclear. We established a psychosocial stress mouse model and systematically investigated the immune dysregulation induced by stress through integrated analysis of blood cell profiles, leukocyte transcriptomics, protein-protein interaction networks, single-cell RNA sequencing, and targeted pharmacological intervention. Additionally, we constructed and validated a depression predictive model using multiparametric peripheral blood data and machine learning, and assessed feature importance using the SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP) analysis.

Current guideline criteria for surgical intervention in chronic aortic regurgitation (AR) rely on fixed thresholds of left ventricular size and ejection fraction, but these metrics may overlook early myocardial injury and under-appreciate patient heterogeneity, particularly in women and older adults. Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) offers robust quantification of regurgitant volume, three-dimensional ventricular volumes, and both focal (late gadolinium enhancement) and diffuse (T1-mapping-derived extracellular volume) fibrosis. Observational studies have linked CMR-detected fibrosis to worse clinical outcomes and less favourable reverse remodelling after valve intervention, suggesting that fibrosis may mark the transition from compensated overload to irreversible myocardial damage.
