A critical reappraisal of the carotid sinus and carotid bulb: Distinguishing neurohistological function from vascular geometry

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
This review redefines the carotid bulb (CB) as a variable geometric dilation shaped by hemodynamics and the carotid sinus (CS) as a conserved neurohistological baroreceptor field. Distinguishing these entities clarifies a century of anatomical confusion and links geometry, neurohistology, and clinical interpretation within a unified framework ...

TWEAK/Fn14 signaling drives oxidative cardiac injury in systemic lupus erythematosus: Evidence from patient biomarker studies, lupus mouse models, and cardiomyocyte assays

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Cardiac involvement is a major cause of morbidity in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Tumor necrosis factor–like weak inducer of apoptosis (TWEAK) is elevated in SLE, but its contribution to lupus‐associated cardiac injury is unclear. We investigated the role of TWEAK/Fn14 signaling in SLE‐related cardiomyopathy and its potential as a ...

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

The ageing holobiont: crosstalk between telomere dynamics, oxidative stress and the gut microbiome

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The gut tissue is at the frontline of early onset of ageing. It exhibits high cell turnover rates and rapid telomere shortening, which can have systemic effects on the developing or senescing organism. We conducted a literature review of studies on the crosstalk between telomere length dynamics, telomerase activity, oxidative stress, and gut ...
