Article Abstract
Ninjurin-1 (NINJ1) is the key executioner of inflammasome-induced plasma membrane rupture (PMR) in diverse forms of nonapoptotic regulated cell death (RCD), such as ferroptosis. Growing evidence suggests that NINJ1 protein oligomerization forms large, irregularly shaped pores in the plasma membrane, resembling a cookie-cutter mechanism. Hence, NINJ1 holds promise as a diagnostic and therapeutic strategy for ferroptosis-related diseases characterized by cytokine storms. Here, we review the function of NINJ1 based on its structure and summarize its potential applications in ferroptosis-related disease diagnosis.

Vancomycin is one of the most commonly used parenteral antibiotics for treating drug-resistant bacterial infections, however, it is hindered by nephrotoxicity. We previously demonstrated that zileuton could delay the onset of vancomycin-associated nephrotoxicity in rats. Here, we sought to understand the mechanism(s) of zileuton renal protection.

Modern medicine has achieved groundbreaking advancements in disease diagnosis and treatment, yet significant challenges remain in managing conditions such as age-related diseases, tumors, autoimmune disorders, and neurological conditions. Conventional drug therapies often suffer from inadequate targeting, severe toxic side effects, and limited therapeutic efficacy, leading to adverse clinical outcomes such as disease recurrence and organ dysfunction. In recent years, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) have demonstrated transformative potential in regenerative medicine and disease therapy.

Adenosine-to-inosine (A-to-I) RNA editing is a critical post-transcriptional modification that enhances tumor genome diversity and contributes to cancer progression. In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), while specific A-to-I editing events have been identified, their functional mechanisms and clinical relevance remain poorly understood. Here, through whole-transcriptome analysis of NSCLC specimens, we discovered a hyper-editing event at position c.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a clinically aggressive malignancy marked by rapid disease progression, limited therapeutic avenues, and high recurrence risk. Ferroptosis an iron-dependent, lipid peroxidation-driven form of regulated cell death that has emerged as a promising therapeutic vulnerability in oncology. This study delineates the ferroptosis-associated molecular architecture of TNBC to identify key regulatory genes with prognostic and translational significance.
