Skeletal muscle atrophy and weakness are major contributors to morbidity, prolonged recovery, and long-term disability across a wide range of diseases. Atrophy is caused by breakdown of sarcomeric proteins resulting in loss of muscle mass and strength. Molecular mechanism underlying the onset of muscle atrophy and its progression have been analysed in patients, mice, and cell culture but the complementarity of these model systems remains to be explored.

The anaerobic glycyl radical enzyme choline trimethylamine-lyase (CutC) is produced by multiple bacterial species in the human gut microbiome and catalyzes the conversion of choline to trimethylamine (TMA) and acetaldehyde. CutC has emerged as a promising therapeutic target due to its role in producing TMA, which is subsequently oxidized in the liver to form trimethylamine--oxide (TMAO). Elevated TMAO levels are associated with several human diseases, including atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular disorders─a leading cause of mortality worldwide.

Background: Several inflammatory cytokines (ICs) have been implicated in the development of hypertensive disorders. This study aimed to establish a causal relationship between 91 ICs and hypertensive disorders using Mendelian randomization (MR).
Methods: Single nucleotide polymorphisms associated with 91 ICs, hypertension, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), and mean arterial pressure (MAP) were obtained from publicly available genome-wide association studies.

Recent global estimates indicate that more than one billion people live with obesity, a figure that has doubled since 1990. When overweight individuals are included, nearly 2.5 billion adults are affected, with high body mass index contributing to an estimated 1.

Purpose Of Review: This review explores the evolving understanding of efferocytosis - the clearance of dead or dying cells by phagocytes - in the context of atherosclerosis. It highlights recent discovers in cell death modalities, impaired clearance mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies aimed at restoring efferocytosis to stabilize plaques and resolve inflammation.
Recent Findings: Recent studies have expanded the scope of efferocytosis beyond apoptotic cells to include other pro-inflammatory cell death modes, including pyroptosis, necroptosis and ferroptosis, revealing context-dependent clearance efficiency and immunological outcomes.
