Role of Major Cardiovascular Surgery-Induced Metabolic Reprogramming in Acute Kidney Injury in Critical Care

The Role of Major Cardiovascular Surgery-Induced Metabolic Reprogramming in Acute Kidney Injury: A Metabolomics Study Academic Background Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, accounting for over 17.9 million deaths annually, which is 32% of all deaths. As the disease burden increases, about one-third of patients may req...

Ketones in Cellular Physiology: Metabolic, Signaling, and Therapeutic Advances

Research Report: The Role of Ketones in Cellular Physiology: Metabolic, Signaling, and Therapeutic Advances Academic Background For a long time, carbohydrate (CHO) intake has been considered a key factor in enhancing athletic performance during endurance exercise. The traditional view holds that a high-carbohydrate low-fat diet (HCLF) can increase ...

Single-Cell Transcriptomic Profiling of Heart Reveals ANGPTL4 Linking Fibroblasts and Angiogenesis in Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction

Single-Cell Transcriptomics Reveals the Relationship Between Cardiac Fibroblasts and Angiogenesis: The Key Role of ANGPTL4 in HFpEF Background Introduction Heart failure is one of the major global health challenges today. Heart failure is categorized into heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and heart failure with reduced ejection...

SIRCLE Model Reveals Mechanisms of Phenotype Regulation in Renal Cancer

Executive Report on the Study of ccRCC Regulatory Mechanisms Using the SIRCLE Model Background Overview Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most prevalent form of kidney cancer, accounting for 70% of renal malignancies. The development and progression of ccRCC involve intricate remodeling of the kidney epigenome, transcriptome, proteome,...

Serine and Glycine Physiology Reversibly Modulate Retinal and Peripheral Nerve Function

Reversible Regulation of Retinal and Peripheral Nerve Function: Physiological Study of Serine and Glycine Background and Research Motivation Macular Telangiectasia Type 2 (Mactel) is an age-related retinal disease characterized by central vision loss. The molecular etiology of this disease is complex and is primarily associated with the metabolism ...

Protein Lactylation and Metabolic Regulation of the Zoonotic Parasite Toxoplasma gondii

A Study on Protein Lactylation and Metabolic Regulation Reveals New Areas of Toxoplasma gondii Biology Background: Toxoplasma gondii is a globally distributed protozoan parasite that infects over 30% of the world’s population. It causes toxoplasmosis, a widespread zoonotic disease. The parasite has a complex life cycle, including sexual and asexual...

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...
