Inhibiting the Histone Demethylase Kdm4a Restrains Cardiac Fibrosis After Myocardial Infarction by Promoting Autophagy in Premature Senescent Fibroblasts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Kdm4a downregulation restrains excessive cardiac interstitial fibrosis and remodeling by depressing the premature senescence of fibroblasts in the advanced stage after MI but does not affect early ventricular rupture. It verified that Kdm4a downregulation promotes autophagy in premature senescent fibroblasts by increasing the H3K9m3 modification of the

Apoptotic Bodies Restore NAD and Mitochondrial Homeostasis in Fibroblasts

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Mesenchymal stem cell‐derived apoptotic bodies (MSC‐ABs) target keloid fibroblasts (KFs), restoring nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD) metabolism and mitochondrial function, suppressing collagen overproduction, and rebalancing tissue homeostasis, offering a novel therapy for keloid.

Nephronectin (NPNT) is a Crucial Determinant of Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis: Modulating Cellular Senescence via the ITGA3/YAP1 Signaling Axis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Through a comprehensive multi‐omics analysis, this study identifies a marked reduction in Nephronectin (NPNT) expression within fibrotic lung tissue. This reduction impairs the binding capability to the ITGA3 receptor, consequently causing YAP1 to persist in the cytoplasm, where it undergoes degradation.

The Immune Microenvironment: New Therapeutic Implications in Organ Fibrosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review summarizes recent advances in understanding the immune microenvironment's role in fibrosis, focusing on phenotypic/functional alterations of immune cells and their dynamic interactions with other cellular constituents within tissues. The authors further explore therapeutic opportunities and challenges in targeting immune microenvironment ...

Critical Role for Transglutaminase 2 in Scleroderma Skin Fibrosis and in the Development of Dermal Sclerosis in a Mouse Model of Scleroderma

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Scleroderma is a life‐threatening autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation, tissue remodeling, and fibrosis. This study aimed to investigate the expression and function of transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) in scleroderma skin and experimentally induced dermal fibrosis to determine its potential role and therapeutic implications.

Antifibrotic effects of specific targeting of the 5‐hydroxytryptamine 2B receptor (5‐HT2BR) in murine models and ex vivo models of scleroderma skin

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a connective tissue disease with fibrotic remodeling of the skin and various internal organs. SSc is associated with the highest case‐specific mortality of all rheumatic autoimmune diseases with limited antifibrotic treatment options.

The ductal network in the human testis and epididymis: What belongs to which?

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
Abstract The testes and epididymis are traversed by a system of tubules in which sperm cells are generated, matured, nourished, and transported. Among these are the efferent ductules, which connect the rete testis to the duct of the epididymis. In the Terminologia Anatomica (TA), the efferent ductules are assigned to the testicles, while numerous ...

Mitochondria‐Catalyzed Activation of Anticancer Prodrugs

ChemCatChem, EarlyView.
Prodrug C is a water soluble, monomeric compound accumulating in mitochondria of cancer cells, where it is activated in the reaction with mitochondrial H2O2. The activation leads to the release of camptothecin that causes cell cycle arrest in G2 phase and cancer cell death.

Illuminating Immunity: A Systematic Review of Immune Cell Autofluorescence

Journal of Biophotonics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Immunophenotyping provides valuable prognostic and diagnostic information, but is technically complex and expensive. The assessment of autofluorescence is label‐free and provides complex information on cell identity. However, research on its application to immunophenotyping has been heterogenous.

Hematochezia: An abnormal presenting symptom of an extensive vascular malformation in a 6‐year‐old boy

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding can be a common symptom in the pediatric population. Vascular malformations, which cause symptoms based on their location and effect on surrounding structures, are an uncommon cause of GI bleeding. We present the case of a 6‐year‐old male with a 1‐year history of hematochezia, constipation, and microcytic anemia.
