Gymnema sylvestre: Bioactive constituents, health benefits, and emerging applications in nutraceuticals and functional foods

JSFA reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gymnema sylvestre (Retz.) R.Br. ex‐Schult., commonly known as “gurmar” or “sugar destroyer,” belongs to the Apocynaceae family and is traditionally used in Ayurveda for diabetes management. This review synthesizes ethnomedicinal evidence with contemporary pharmacological studies, to evaluate the therapeutic properties and mechanistic actions ...

Toxicity Differences Between Microplastics and Nanoplastics in Organs: From Molecular Mechanisms to Potential Therapeutic Strategies

Med Research, EarlyView.
This review systematically compares the size‐dependent toxicity of microplastics and nanoplastics in the intestine, liver, kidney, lung, and brain. Particle size determines bioavailability, barrier penetration, and injury mechanisms. Because of their small size and high surface reactivity, NPs readily cross the intestinal epithelium and blood–brain ...

HucMSC‐Derived Exosomes Preserve Mafb‐Dependent Tubular Epithelial Identity and Suppress Dedifferentiation in Obstructive Nephropathy

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Unilateral ureteral obstruction (UUO) and genetic deletion of Mafb lead to tubular epithelial dedifferentiation, characterized by decreased E‐cadherin and increased α‐SMA and vimentin expression. Intravenous administration of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cell‐derived exosomes (HucMSC‐Exos) partially restores Mafb expression in UUO kidneys ...

From cytokine storm to renal scarring in diabetic kidney disease: Biomarkers, risk stratification, and precision therapeutics

Precision Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
Hyperglycemia‐driven cytokine activation initiates a sustained inflammatory cascade in diabetic kidney disease, promoting cellular injury and fibrogenic signaling. Integrating cytokine‐based biomarkers with risk stratification enables precision therapeutics that target inflammation and fibrosis, ultimately aiming to halt progression from early renal ...

Spatial and Temporal Clustering of Anti-Glomerular Basement Membrane Disease [PDF]

Clinical Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2016
Background and objectives An environmental trigger has been proposed as an inciting factor in the development of anti-GBM disease. This multicenter, observational study sought to define the national incidence of anti-GBM disease during an 11-year period (2003–2014) in Ireland, investigate clustering of cases in time and space ...

Difficulties in Goodpasture's syndrome diagnosing [PDF]

Терапевтический архив, 2019
The article analyzes the diagnosis and treatment of anti-GBM antibody disease (Goodpasture's syndrome) - a rare, severe progressive disease, associated with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody-induced pulmonary hemorrhage and glomerulonephritis ...

Renal‐vascular axis: unmasking its role in vascular endothelial growth factor‐inhibitor vascular toxicity in cancer patients

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Vascular toxicity is a growing concern in cancer patients receiving vascular endothelial growth factor inhibitor (VEGFi) therapy, posing a significant threat to patient prognosis. While the primary mechanism of VEGFi‐induced vascular toxicity is linked to redox‐sensitive reactions that disrupt vascular tone, leading to hypertension and ...

Antimitochondrial autoantibodies in anti-glomerular basement membrane disease

Clinical and Experimental Immunology, 1993
SUMMARYAnti-glomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease is characterized by the production of an autoantibody with very restricted specificity, with no evidence of polyclonal B cell activation. It was therefore surprising to find that in a solid-phase ELISA a proportion of anti-GBM sera showed significant binding to pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), a ...

Multiple occurrences of membranous nephropathy complicated with anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody and anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody double-negative crescentic formation since the COVID-19 pandemic: A case series

Journal of International Medical Research
There has been an unusual increase in the incidence of anti-glomerular basement membrane disease, anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis, and double-positive cases since the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic.

GCN2 in proteostasis: structural logic, signalling networks and disease

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
Threats to protein synthesis activate the kinase GCN2, initiating the integrated stress response (ISR). GCN2 is triggered by stalled ribosomes and uncharged tRNAs, which accumulate when amino acids are scarce. The ISR adjusts cellular physiology by promoting redox balance, protein quality control, and mitochondrial optimisation.
