Background/aims: Ubiquitin D (UBD), a member of the ubiquitin-like modifier (UBL) family, is significantly overexpressed in various cancers and is positively correlated with tumor progression. However, the role and underlying mechanisms of UBD in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain poorly understood. This study aimed to investigate the effects of UBD knockdown on the progression of RA.

Background: Free radicals play a key role in spinal cord injury and curcumin has the potential to act as an antioxidant agent. Controlled delivery of curcumin can be achieved through encapsulation in bovine serum albumin to form nanoparticles, and acellular scaffold can bridge lesions and improve axonal growth in spinal cord injury.

Objective: In this study, we evaluated the antioxidant effects of the scaffold containing curcumin nanoparticles in the unilateral spinal cord injury model in male rats.

Hirudin, a polypeptide extracted from medicinal leeches, has demonstrated potential in treating renal fibrosis. This study aimed to explore the underlying mechanisms by which Hirudin alleviates renal fibrosis. Renal fibrosis models were established using unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) surgery in rats and transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β)-induced HK-2 cells, followed by treatment with different concentrations of Hirudin.

Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common degenerative joint disease, and early diagnosis and effective treatment are essential for managing its progression. This study focuses on the development of a novel drug delivery system using aggregation-induced emission (AIE) probe for enhanced fluorescence imaging and targeted therapy in OA. TPE-S-BTD, an AIE probe, is synthesized and characterized for its photophysical properties, demonstrating significant aggregation-induced fluorescence enhancement.
