Engineered Multifunctional Hydrogel Delivering Novel CBX7 Inhibitor Modulates Cuproptosis Via Liquid–Liquid Phase Separation to Restore Cardiac Function in Aged Myocardial Infarction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
An age‐adapted therapy pairs δ‐Amyrenone, a CBX7 inhibitor, with an alginate hydrogel (CSAδ) to rescue infarcted elderly hearts. CSAδ disrupts CBX7–ATP7A liquid–liquid phase separation, restores ATP7A trafficking and copper efflux, suppresses cuproptosis, supplies oxygen, scavenges ROS, promotes M2 polarization, supports angiogenesis, and enhances ...

LDL-C/HDL-C is associated with ischaemic stroke in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: a case-control study

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2020
Background This study explored the relationships between the low−/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (LDL-C/HDL-C) and other clinical indicators and ischaemic stroke (IS) in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation (NVAF) in Xinjiang.

Induced Proprioceptor and Low‐Threshold Mechanoreceptor Neurons Derived from Human Pluripotent Stem Cells Exhibit Distinct Functional Mechanosensory Properties

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study describes derivation of two distinct mechanosensory subpopulations from human pluripotent stem cells using a transcription factor mediated approach. Of significance, functional interrogation of induced mechanosensory subtypes reveal their unique responses to mechanical stimulation in the absence of end‐organs.

Sexual dimorphism in cardiometabolic and cardiac mitochondrial function in obese rats following sex hormone deprivation

Nutrition & Diabetes, 2022
Objective Our study aims to test the hypothesis that poorer function of cardiac mitochondria in males, under sex hormone-deprived and obese-insulin-resistant conditions, is responsible for a worse cardiometabolic function than females.
