ABSTRACT Background and Aims The polymerization of deoxygenated hemoglobin S, resulting from a genetic mutation in sickle cell disease (SCD), leads to damage in multiple organs, including renal, cardiopulmonary, and cerebrovascular systems. The liver is also commonly affected, resulting in “sickle cell liver disease,” which may lead to progressive ...

RAGE Re‐Expressed at Myofibre Level Drives Muscle Wasting in Cancer Conditions
ABSTRACT Background Cancer cachexia (CC) is a highly debilitating syndrome characterized by loss of body and muscle weight affecting most advanced cancer patients. The receptor for advanced glycation end‐products (RAGE) is expressed by several cell types and sustains the inflammatory response in acute and chronic diseases. Total ablation of RAGE (Ager−/

Abstract Omega‐3 fatty acids (omega‐3s) are polyunsaturated fatty acids linked with numerous health benefits. Omega‐3s exhibit multifaceted activities through various mechanisms. Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) alleviates oxidative stress by lowering reactive oxygen species and improving oxidative stress in brain tissues and acts against neurodegenerative ...

Overview of the effects of Pax1‐SAR deletion on gene expression, IVD degeneration, and resultant scoliotic‐like curvature between sexes. Proposed mechanism of sex‐dependent changes in gene expression in females (right) and males (left), resulting in sex‐dependent disc degeneration and scoliotic phenotypes.

Pretreatment with New Zealand blackcurrant anthocyanins nonsignificantly reduced TNF‐α–induced PAI‐1 release in bronchial epithelial cells. The small sample size may have influenced the lack of statistical significance. This study provides preliminary evidence of possible effects of NZBC anthocyanins on PAI‐1 secretion but warrants further extensive ...
