A Compartmentalized Joint‐on‐chip (JoC) Model to Unravel the Contribution of Cartilage and Synovium to Osteoarthritis Pathogenesis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A compartmentalized joint‐on‐chip (JoC) platform is here developed, modelling the interactions between cartilage and synovium in osteoarthritis (OA). Using independent culture and mechanical/biochemical stimulation, the JoC revealed how inflammation and mechanical damage drive mutual tissue changes.

Establishment of a dexamethasone-induced zebrafish skeletal muscle atrophy model and exploration of its mechanisms

open access: yesExperimental Gerontology
Background: Skeletal muscle atrophy is one of the main side effects of high-dose or continuous use of glucocorticoids (such as dexamethasone). However, there are limited studies on dexamethasone-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in zebrafish and even fewer

The Pathogenic Roles of Local Vitamin D Metabolism Defect in Valve Inflammation and Calcification

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies the valvular interstitial cell populations responsible for valvular calcification induced by hyperphosphatemia and likely aging, uncovers local vitamin D metabolism defect‐induced inflammation as a critical pathogenic factor of calcific aortic valve disease, and highlights active vitamin D and ERK inhibitor as potential preventive

Life Factors and Melanoma: From the Macroscopic State to the Molecular Mechanism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Melanoma, an aggressive skin cancer, arises from dynamic interactions between genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. This review explores how age, gender, obesity, diet, exercise, smoking, alcohol, UV exposure, circadian rhythms, and medications influence melanoma risk and progression.

PVC Nanoplastics Exposure Exacerbates Asthma through R‐Loop Accumulation and Subsequent STING Activation in Macrophages

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) nanoplastics (NPs) are shown to aggravate allergic airway inflammation in asthma by triggering R‐loop accumulation and activating the cGAS‐STING pathway in macrophages. This study reveals a novel immunotoxic mechanism linking environmental plastic exposure to asthma pathogenesis and highlights potential molecular targets for ...

Improving patient recruitment to randomised trials can be cost-effective: A case-study of dexamethasone from the RECOVERY trial.

open access: yesPLoS ONE
BackgroundThe RECOVERY trial assessed the effectiveness of treatments on preventing severe outcomes from COVID-19 disease in hospitalised patients from 176 NHS hospitals. Clinical benefits of Dexamethasone were observed for hospitalised COVID-19 patients.
