Mex-3 RNA-binding family member A limits macrophage ferroptosis-associated injury linked to the SLC7A11/GPX4 pathway in diabetic atherosclerosis. [PDF]
Diabetes reduces macrophage MEX3A and aggravates atherosclerotic plaque instability. MEX3A stabilises Slc7a11 and Gpx4 mRNAs to sustain SLC7A11/GPX4 antioxidant defence. MEX3A deficiency promotes macrophage ferroptosis, lipid peroxidation and mitochondrial injury. Ferrostatin‐1 partially attenuates ferroptotic injury and diabetic plaque destabilisation.

A deleterious variant of FCHSD1 results in mTOR pathway overactivation and may cause porto‐sinusoidal vascular disorder (PSVD). The pedigree of the family demonstrated an autosomal dominant disease with variable expressivity. Whole‐genome sequencing and Sanger sequencing both validated the existence of the FCHSD1 variant and the heterozygosity of c ...

Discovery of a new highly pathogenic toxin involved in insect sepsis
Insect sepsis is a severe consequence that arises from the invasion of the hemocoel by symbionts of entomopathogenic nematodes and bacteria. In the present study, we unveiled the heightened virulence of the entomopathogenic nematode Steinernema feltiae ...
