Article Abstract
Objective: This study is aimed at studying the effect of quercetin on the Alzheimer disease cell model induced by A in PC12 cells and its mechanism of action.
Methods: The AD cell model was established by A . Quercetin was used at different concentrations (0, 10, 20, 40, and 80 mol/L). The morphology of cells was observed, and the effect on cell survival rate was detected by the MTT method. Cell proliferation was detected by the SRB method. The contents of LDH, SOD, MDA, GSH-Px, AChE, CAT, and T-AOC were detected by kits. The expression of sirtuin1/Nrf2/HO-1 was detected by RT-qPCR and Western blot.
Results: PC12 cells in the control group grew quickly and adhered well to the wall, most of which had extended long axons and easily grew into clusters. In the model group, cells were significantly damaged and the number of cells was significantly reduced. It was found that PC12 cells were swollen, rounded, protruding, and retracting, with reduced adherent function and floating phenomenon. Quercetin could increase the survival rate and proliferation rate of PC12 cells; reduce the levels of LDH, AChE, MDA, and HO-1 protein; and increase the levels of SOD, GSH-Px, CAT, T-AOC, sirtuin1, and Nrf2 protein.
Conclusion: Quercetin can increase the survival rate of PC12 injured by A , promote cell proliferation, and antagonize the toxicity of A; it also has certain neuroprotective effects. Therefore, quercetin is expected to become a drug for the treatment of AD.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a severe traumatic disorder of the central nervous system, often resulting in partial or complete loss of sensory and motor functions. Ferroptosis, a lipid peroxidation-driven apoptotic process triggered by iron overload, has emerged as a novel form of programmed cell death and a focal point in post-SCI cell death research. Exosomes (Exo), as delivery vehicles, exhibit multiple advantages, including superior encapsulation capacity, high targeting efficiency, and enhanced blood-brain barrier penetration to reach the central nervous system.

Ferroptosis is emerging as a pathological mechanism of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and inhibiting ferroptosis contributes to improving prognosis. N6-methyladenosine (m6A) methylation is a common RNA modification that is involved in disease progression. This study aimed to explore the effect of METTL14, a m6A transmethylase, on ferroptosis and the molecular mechanism, and identify its role in ICH progression.

Abnormal cellular Cu level is closely associated with many various pathological conditions, including cancer, Menkes disease, and Wilson's disease. However, sensitive and accurate detection of intracellular Cu remains challenging. To address this, we engineered an interference-free surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) nanoprobe utilizing a target-responsive aggregation mechanism for selective Cu detection.

The ability to quantify protein secretion is critical for studying the secretory pathway. This is particularly important in endocrine cells where dysregulated hormone secretion is associated with the development of diseases such as type 2 diabetes. To measure protein secretion, researchers have previously relied on techniques such as ELISA, RIA and Western blot, which all present limitations, including cost and time consumption.

HSQC-TOCSY fingerprinting-guided fractionation led to the discovery of three undescribed pentaketide, hexaketide, and monocyclofarnesol-type sesquiterpenoid glycosides, namely acremols A-C (1-3), along with new scalemic pentaketides (+)-4 and (-)-4, designated as (+) and (-)-acremols D, from fungus Acremonium sp. NBUF233 associated with a mesophotic zone Ircinia sponge. The structural elucidation was achieved through comprehensive spectroscopic data analysis combined with chemical degradation.
