Artesunate Inhibits Neointimal Hyperplasia by Promoting IRF4 Associated Macrophage Polarization
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study shows that macrophage interferon regulatory factor 4 (IRF4) improved arterial injury‐induced neointimal hyperplasia by promoting of M2 polarization via up‐regulating krüppel‐like factor 4 (KLF4) in rodent and nonhuman primate models. Notably, artesunate is identified as a potent inducer of IRF4 in macrophages, and proposed as a promising ...

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 15, April 17, 2025.The N‐acetyltransferase‐10 (NAT10)‐mediated mRNA N4‐acetylcytidine modification enhances the stability of CXCL2 and KLF5 mRNA. Then, secreted CXCL2 promotes M2 macrophage polarization and oncostatin M secretion, activating NAT10 expression via STAT3 signaling.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.As a plant‐derived flavonoid, apigenin directly targets PRDX6 to inhibit its PLA2 activity, blocking HSPA8 activation and disturbing its interactions with ATM and p38MAPK in senescent cells. By dampening wide spectrum expression of the SASP, apigenin prevents loss of tissue homeostasis, improves organ function, and alleviates multiple age‐related ...

A Quantitative Method for Estimating the Human Development Stages by Based on the Health State Function Theory and the Resulting Deterioration Process [PDF]
arXiv, 2013 The Health State Function theory is applied to find a quantitative estimate of the Human Development Stages by defining and calculating the specific age groups and subgroups. Early and late adolescence stages, first, second and third stages of adult development are estimated along with the early, middle and old age groups and subgroups.
