METTL14 Promotes Ferroptosis in Smooth Muscle Cells During Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm by Stabilizing the m6A Modification of ACSL4

Mettl14 Promotes Ferroptosis in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells During Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm by Stabilizing the m6A Modification of ACSL4 Academic Background Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a severe vascular disease that often leads to aortic rupture and acute dissection, with extremely high mortality rates. Currently, the primary treatment for T...

Cancer Cells Avoid Ferroptosis Induced by Immune Cells via Fatty Acid Binding Proteins

Cancer Cells Evade Immune Cell-Induced Ferroptosis via Fatty Acid Binding Protein 7 Background Introduction Cancer creates an immunosuppressive environment that hinders immune responses, allowing tumors to grow and resist treatment. The immune system combats this by inducing ferroptosis in tumor cells through CD8+ T cells. Ferroptosis is a type of ...

Dual Ferroptosis Induction in N2-TANs and TNBC Cells via FTH1 Targeting: A Therapeutic Strategy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer

Dual Ferroptosis Induction via FTH1 Targeting: A New Therapeutic Strategy for Triple-Negative Breast Cancer (TNBC) Background: Why Conduct This Study? Breast cancer is one of the most common cancer types worldwide, accounting for 11.7% of all new cancer cases globally. Among its several subtypes, triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) stands out for ...

Tryptophan 2,3-Dioxygenase-Positive Matrix Fibroblasts Fuel Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis via Kynurenine-Mediated Ferroptosis Resistance of Metastatic Cells and T Cell Dysfunction

Mechanism of Stromal Fibroblasts in Breast Cancer Lung Metastasis Background Introduction Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, and metastasis is the leading cause of death in breast cancer patients. The lung is one of the most common sites of breast cancer metastasis, yet the mechanisms underlying this process rema...

Mitochondrial Serine Catabolism Maintains Hematopoietic Stem Cell Pool in Homeostasis and Injury

Research Background The maintenance and repair of the hematopoietic system are crucial for the continuation of life and health in an organism. As the foundation of the hematopoietic system, the stability of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) is particularly important. The maintenance of the HSC pool relies on intrinsic and extrinsic factors, among whi...

Ferroptosis Triggered by Spliceosomal GTPase EFTUD2 Deficiency Leads to Purkinje Cell Degeneration

Depletion of EFTUD2 Triggers Ferroptosis-Induced Degeneration of Cerebellar Purkinje Cells Background and Motivation The cerebellum plays a crucial role in motor coordination and higher cognitive functions, with the health of cerebellar Purkinje cells (PCs) being essential for maintaining cerebellar function. Gene regulation based on alternative sp...

GPR56-mediated sensing of the steroid hormone 17α-hydroxypregnenolone protects against ferroptosis-induced liver injury

The Role of Protein-Coupled Receptor GPR56 and Its Protective Mechanism in Ferroptosis-Induced Liver Injury In recent years, ferroptosis has emerged as a new form of programmed cell death, becoming a hot topic in scientific research. It is characterized by cell death due to phospholipid peroxidation and is significantly different from traditional a...

Dopaminylation of endothelial TPI1 suppresses ferroptotic angiocrine signals to promote lung regeneration over fibrosis

Dopamine Modification of TPI1 Inhibits Ferroptosis Signaling in Vascular Endothelial Cells, Promoting Lung Regeneration and Inhibiting Fibrosis Background The regenerative capability of the lung enables it to restore its original functional tissue after injury. However, if this regenerative process is disrupted, it often leads to maladaptive repair...

Aging Promotes Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease by Inducing Ferroptotic Stress

Aging Promotes Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease by Inducing Ferroptotic Stress

Research Review on Aging-Exacerbated Metabolic Dysfunction-Related Lipid Liver Diseases Academic Background As the aging population increases, metabolic diseases induced by aging are becoming a severe public health challenge. The liver, being the primary metabolic organ, requires special attention to its functional disorders during aging. Studies h...
