Congenital CMV and Hearing Loss—How Does it Happen and How to Prevent it
ABSTRACT Congenital cytomegalovirus (cCMV) is found worldwide and significantly contributes to permanent childhood hearing loss. CMV has been known to cause sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) for more than half a century, and CMV‐related hearing loss has consistently been present in all childhood populations where infants with cCMV have been identified ...

Advances in the genetics of refractive errors: Contributions from the CREAM consortium
Abstract The Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM) was established in 2011, bringing together an international team of researchers studying more than 30 cohorts. Since its establishment, CREAM has played a pivotal role in research investigating the genetics of myopia and other refractive errors, serving as a key driver of progress in the ...

Mitochondrial Transfer in the Tumor Microenvironment
Mitochondria are actively exchanged among tumor, immune, stromal, and neuronal cells within the tumor microenvironment. Such transfer rewires tumor metabolism, promotes immune evasion, and drives therapy resistance. Targeting mitochondrial transfer or harnessing mitochondrial transplantation represents a promising strategy to restore antitumor immunity

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) actively exports ATP through PANX1 channels, triggering P2RX7‐mediated autocrine signaling and promoting tumor proliferation. Inhibition of PANX1 or P2RX7 disrupts this loop and suppresses tumor growth. ABSTRACT Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is an aggressive malignancy with a 5‐year survival rate of less than 7%.

Chronic hypertension alters the expression of Cx43 in cardiovascular muscle cells
Connexin43 (Cx43), the predominant gap junction protein of muscle cells in vessels and heart, is involved in the control of cell-to-cell communication and is thought to modulate the contractility of the vascular wall and the electrical coupling of ...

T Cell Receptor Repertoires Across the Continuum of Vascular, Myocardial, and Age‐Related Diseases
ABSTRACT Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are shaped by a complex interplay with immune mechanisms. In particular, the distinct roles of antigen‐specific T cell mechanisms are emerging as critical determinants across a broad spectrum of conditions, ranging from atherosclerosis, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF), and myocarditis. Because these

From Adipose Tissue to Cardiac Repair: Extracellular Vesicles in Cardiovascular Regeneration
ABSTRACT Adipose‐derived extracellular vesicles (ADEVs) secreted by adipose tissue have gained increasing attention due to their regenerative and immunomodulatory properties in cardiovascular diseases. They carry proteins, lipids, and nucleic acids that mediate intercellular communication and influence cardiac pathophysiology. In atherosclerosis, ADEVs

Pathophysiology and Molecular Signalling in Osteoporosis: Linking Risk Factors to Bone Loss
ABSTRACT Osteoporosis is a prevalent skeletal disorder characterised by progressive reduction in bone mass, microarchitectural deterioration, and increased fracture susceptibility. In India, approximately one‐third of the elderly population is affected by bone‐related disorders, and the global burden of osteoporosis continues to rise.
