Functional parameters of spermatozoa obtained by a new selection device
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.This study compares density gradient centrifugation and the LensHooke CA0™ device for sperm separation. DGC requires multiple steps, specialized equipment, and technical expertise. In contrast, the CA0 device offers key practical and methodological advantages, resulting in a faster, simpler, and more affordable sperm selection method.

Liver‐specific lncRNAs associated with liver cancers
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Long non‐coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are regulatory molecules with various functions. They are more tissue‐specific than proteins and can be used as potential biomarkers, particularly in cancer diagnostics and prognosis. In this review, we have systematically compiled all lncRNAs with exclusive expression in the human liver, verified their liver specificity ...

European Journal of ImmunologyCaspase-1 location in cells has been studied with fluorochrome-labeled inhibitors of caspase-1 (FLICA reagents). We report that FLICA reagents have limited cell-membrane permeability. This impacts experimental design as cells with intact membranes, including caspase-1 knockout cells, are not appropriate controls for cells with inflammasome-induced ...

Advanced Biology, EarlyView.HMGB1 derived from the pyroptotic environment in Hirschsprung‐associated enterocolitis mediates the formation of macrophage extracellular traps through TLR4 ‐p38 MAPK/p65 NF‐kB signaling pathways. Macrophage extracellular traps induce increased ROS production and pyroptosis of colonic epithelial cells.

mBio, 2011 Nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat containing proteins (NLRs) activate caspase-1 in response to a variety of bacterium-derived signals in macrophages. NLR-mediated activation of caspase-1 by Legionella pneumophila occurs through both an NLRC4/

Blocking Caspase-1/Gsdmd and Caspase-3/-8/Gsdme pyroptotic pathways rescues silicosis in mice
PLoS Genetics, 2022 Millions of patients suffer from silicosis, but it remains an uncurable disease due to its unclear pathogenic mechanisms. Though the Nlrp3 inflammasome is involved in silicosis pathogenesis, inhibition of its classic downstream factors, Caspase-1 and ...

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.The Angiopep‐2 peptide density on polymeric nanoparticles significantly impacts blood–brain barrier (BBB) penetration. This study explores this nuanced relationship using various in vitro models and in vivo assays, revealing that dynamic models better predict BBB penetration.

H2O2‐Generating Advanced Nanomaterials for Cancer Treatment
Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.H2O2‐generating nanoplatforms can exploit tumor redox imbalance for O2 and toxic reactive oxygen species generation, leading to hypoxia reversal, and apoptosis of cancer cells, respectively. This review highlights the mechanisms of these nanoplatforms, including exogenous H₂O₂ delivery, endogenous amplification, and metal peroxides, which leads to ...
