ABSTRACT Heat stress (HS) is an increasing threat to male reproductive health, disrupting spermatogenesis through complex and interdependent cellular responses within the seminiferous epithelium. Although excessive reactive oxygen species (ROS) production is a hallmark of HS, ROS also act as central regulators of cell fate decisions beyond their role ...

Investigating the Cytoskeleton of DRGs Using Cryo‐Electron Microscopy and Deep Learning
ABSTRACT We describe a method for determining the ultrastructural organization of axons and varicosities of cultured dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurons using cryogenic electron microscopy (cryo‐EM). Cryo‐EM reveals the dimensions, proximity, and overall organization of biological specimens in a near‐native state, avoiding artifacts of fixation and ...

ABSTRACT We here describe mouse models with complementary homozygous Svil mutations. In skeletal muscle, Svil‐Mut mice express the Svil‐encoded N‐terminus fused to the βgal‐neo gene‐trap tag and lack the highly conserved archvillin C‐terminus; Svil‐KO mice lack expression of all known Svil‐encoded proteins; and Svil‐LoxP mice contain loxP sites for ...

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

The study demonstrates how functional foods, medicinal plants, phytochemicals, bioactive compounds and essential nutrients combat metabolic diseases. It highlights their mechanisms, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, insulin‐sensitising, lipid‐regulating, gut microbiota‐modulating and mitochondrial‐enhancing effects, leading to improved ...

ATP Citrate Lyase in Metabolic Disease: Mechanistic Insights and Clinical Potential
ATP citrate lyase (ACLY) is a central metabolic hub that diverts mitochondrial citrate to fuel de novo lipogenesis, cholesterol biosynthesis, and protein acetylation. Given its robust correlation with pathological changes in multiple human diseases, ACLY inhibitors featuring distinct pharmacological strengths have been developed for therapeutic ...

Research Progress of Berberine in Kidney Disease: Targeting Mitochondria and Ferroptosis
This figure illustrates the model‐specific renoprotective mechanisms of berberine (BBR) across three major kidney diseases. From left to right, the diagram shows that BBR targets distinct core pathways depending on the pathological context: in diabetic nephropathy (DN), BBR activates AMPK to improve mitochondrial energy metabolism; in acute kidney ...
