Oxytocin Reduces Subjective Fear in Naturalistic Social Contexts via Enhancing Top‐Down Middle Cingulate Amygdala Regulation and Brain‐Wide Fear Representations

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study demonstrates that intranasal oxytocin reduces subjective fear in immersive, naturalistic social (but not non‐social) contexts. Concomitant fMRI reveals that oxytocin enhances middle cingulate activity and amygdala connectivity while it modulates network‐level connectivity and attenuates reactivity of a brain ...

FBXO2 Alleviates Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via Dual Mechanisms: Activating PINK1‐Parkin Mitophagy and Ubiquitinating LCN2 to Suppress Ferroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
F‐box only protein 2 (FBXO2) combats intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) by coordinating dual protection. It activates PTEN‐induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)‐Parkin mitophagy restoring mitochondrial function and targets lipocalin‐2 (LCN2) for degradation, suppressing ferroptosis.
