Article Abstract
The cGAS-STING signaling pathway plays a critical role in the immune defense against DNA viruses and in autoimmunity, coordinating a cascade of events that enhance cytokine production, particularly type I interferons. This review summarizes recent advancements in understanding the pathway's impact on various ocular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic retinopathy, and uveitis. Activation of this pathway by cytoplasmic DNA from either damaged retinal cells or external pathogens induces inflammatory responses that may accelerate disease progression. Moreover, the paper explores new therapeutic approaches that target this pathway, offering insights into how modulation of cGAS-STING signaling could reduce inflammation and improve clinical outcomes. The emerging research in this area suggests potential for innovative treatments in ocular inflammation and degenerative conditions.

Caseinolytic protease P (ClpP) is a highly conserved serine protease that plays a pivotal role in protein homeostasis and quality control in bacteria, mitochondria of mammalian cells, and plant chloroplasts. As the proteolytic core of the ATP-dependent Clp protease complex, ClpP partners with regulatory ATPases (e.g.

Introduction: Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disease among the elderly population. It has been posited that the onset and progression of AD are influenced by a combination of various factors. Occlusal support loss due to tooth loss has been reported to be a risk factor triggering cognitive dysfunction.

Background: Cisplatin (DDP) is a clinical first-line chemotherapy drug for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but treatment is often ineffective due to drug resistance. Yes-associated protein 1 (YAP1) is a critical regulator/factor in HCC tumor progression. Our previous research showed that DDP promoted the expression of YAP1 in mice bearing H22 cell in situ liver tumors, which might be related to the poor therapeutic effect of DDP.

Microglial activation-induced neuroinflammation and impaired neuronal mitophagy are recognized as pivotal pathogeneses in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, the role of microglial mitophagy in microglial activation during PD development remains unclear, and therapeutic interventions targeting this interaction are lacking. Rhapontigenin (Rhap), a stilbenoid enriched in Vitis vinifera, exhibits dual anti-neuroinflammatory and mitophagy-enhancing properties, but its therapeutic potential and mechanisms in PD are unexplored.

Nanoparticles bind to proteins in cells selectively and form a protein corona around them. However, the mechanisms of protein conformational changes underlying the interactions between nanoparticles and protein coronas remain poorly understood. In this study, we prepared small molecule self-assembled nanoparticles (Aloin NPs) as a research tool to investigate the allosteric mechanism of protein coronas.
