Myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury (MI/RI) is a crucial complication of reperfusion treatment for myocardial infarction. Naringin (Nar) is a flavonoid with identified cardioprotective functions. This study aimed to explore the protective mechanisms of Nar against MI/RI, specifically focusing on its modulation of the cGAS-STING pathway. An H9c2 cardiomyocyte hypoxia/reoxygenation (H/R) injury model and an MI/R rat model were established. Our findings demonstrated that Nar, at a concentration of 480 μM, exhibited no cytotoxic effects on H9c2 cardiomyocytes and did not inhibit cell proliferation. Nar significantly reduced myocardial cell injury by improving mitochondrial function and decreasing oxidative stress, particularly the stress induced by a ferroptosis activator (Erastin). Additionally, the in vivo MI/R rat model further confirmed that Nar inhibited the activation of the cGAS-STING pathway, thereby attenuating myocardial injury. Collectively, Nar exerts protective effects against MI/RI by regulating mitochondrial dysfunction and ferroptosis, primarily through inhibition of the cGAS-STING pathway.

Acute lung injury (ALI) represents a critical clinical challenge characterized by uncontrolled pulmonary inflammation and disrupted tissue homeostasis, often leading to severe respiratory dysfunction. Current pharmacological interventions and vaccines have demonstrated suboptimal clinical outcomes in modulating disease progression, highlighting the urgent need for innovative therapeutic strategies. A key pathophysiological feature of ALI involves dysregulation of redox homeostasis and excessive pulmonary inflammation.

Glioblastoma (GBM), the most prevalent and lethal primary malignancy of the central nervous system, remains refractory to conventional photon radiotherapy due to inherent limitations in dose distribution. Although carbon ion radiotherapy offers distinct advantages, including its characteristic Bragg peak deposition and superior relative biological effectiveness, its clinical application is constrained by high costs and increased toxicity. This study explores the radiobiological interactions underlying a mixed carbon ion-photon irradiation regimen, a promising strategy in advanced particle therapy.

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.

Mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) functions as an endogenous danger-associated molecular pattern that broadly activates the cGAS-STING pathway to potentiate antitumor immunotherapy. However, inefficient mtDNA release severely limits its ability to robustly activate downstream immune responses. Recent studies reveal that ferroptosis can trigger mtDNA release from damaged mitochondria into the cytosol, thereby stimulating antitumor immunity.

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.
