Glucocorticoids Impair the Airway Epithelial Barrier via Autophagy‐Associated Apoptosis in Asthma: A Preliminary Study Both In Vitro and In Vivo

Pediatric Discovery, EarlyView.
Mechanism underlying the negative effects of glucocorticoids on the airway epithelial barrier. Glucocorticoids upregulate autophagy factors and downregulate anti‐autophagy factors. Enhanced autophagy promotes excessive apoptosis and epithelial detachment, impairing airway barrier function.

Pharmacokinetic and Pharmacodynamic Interactions Between Anti‐Asthma Drugs and Medicinal Plants: A Comprehensive Review

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Asthma affects 260–300 million people worldwide. About 20%–35% of patients use medicinal plants with their asthma medication, often without telling their clinicians. Disclosure rates are low; up to 42% of asthma outpatients use herbal products, with no records in their charts.

Potential of Ginkgo biloba Extract to Intervene in Chronic Inflammation‐Related Diseases

Phytotherapy Research, EarlyView.
Chronic inflammation is a pathological mechanism underpinning many diseases. Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE) is well known for its anti‐inflammatory property. GBE and its active constituents have been shown to attenuate pro‐inflammatory cytokine production, suppress nuclear factor kappa B activation, restore redox homeostasis, and modulate disease‐relevant

Bioactive Gold Plasmonic Interfaces Meet Artificial Intelligence: Advancing Saliva‐Based Surface‐Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy Diagnostics

Small, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Bioactive gold plasmonic nanostructures are enabling non‐invasive saliva diagnostics by amplifying weak Raman signals and converting complex biofluid chemistry into information‐rich spectral fingerprints. This Review examines saliva‐based Raman and surface‐enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) integrated with artificial intelligence (AI) from a ...

Comparing the Effects of Microplastics From Conventional Cigarette Butts and Heated Tobacco Device: The Role of UV‐Induced Aging

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Despite the widespread presence of cigarette butts in the environment, the potential toxicological effects posed by microplastics (MPs) derived from them remain poorly understood. In this study, we compared the effects of MPs from conventional cigarette butts (cellulose acetate) and heated tobacco devices (cellulose acetate and polylactic acid
