PPARα promotes KLF11 expression and recruits KLF11 and YAP1 to form a transcription complex, where KLF11 acts as a brake in PPARα‐YAP1‐mediated glycolysis. Wogonin reshapes the metabolism of macrophages from glycolysis to fatty acid oxidation via activation of the PPARα‐KLF11‐YAP1 pathway, by which wogonin reduces inflammation and foam cell formation ...

Increases in Drug and Opioid-Involved Overdose Deaths - United States, 2010-2015.
The U.S. opioid epidemic is continuing, and drug overdose deaths nearly tripled during 1999-2014. Among 47,055 drug overdose deaths that occurred in 2014 in the United States, 28,647 (60.9%) involved an opioid (1). Illicit opioids are contributing to the

This study introduces a novel therapeutic approach that employs a conductive hydrogel (HEPP) responsive to near‐infrared light, pH levels, and reactive oxygen species. Its goal is to enhance the healing environment affected by elevated glucose levels, insufficient oxygen, and bacterial infections in diabetes‐related wounds.

SUMOylation is a Translatable Target in Hypoxic MNPs Regulating Retinal Vasculopathy
During ischemic retinopathy/retinal vasculopathy, UBC9‐mediated SUMOylation in retinal macrophages enhances their pro‐angiogenic capacity via hypoxia‐induced SUMOylation of FUS at K327/K502. This modification suppresses FUS binding to the Vegfa mRNA 3’UTR, stabilizing transcripts and facilitating VEGFA production. Targeting UBC9 inhibition can serve as
