Inhibition of PGK1 ameliorates acute kidney injury through inactivating the PKM2/ALOX12/ferroptosis pathway in a study with male mice

Nature Communications
Despite decades of studies into the mechanisms underlying acute kidney injury (AKI), the effective clinical therapies are still limited. Here we report that the development of AKI was attenuated by conditional knockout of phosphoglycerate kinase 1 (PGK1)

Gut Microbiota and Obesity

The Korean Journal of Helicobacter and Upper Gastrointestinal Research, 2023
Obesity is a global health concern associated with a wide range of diseases, including diabetes, metabolic syndrome, fatty liver, and cardiovascular conditions. Recent studies highlight the significant role of gut microbiota in obesity. Research indicates notable changes in the composition and diversity of gut microbiota in individuals diagnosed with ...

Temporal Immune and Metabolic Shifts Drive the Anti‐Tumor Efficacy of Resiquimod‐Loaded Nanoparticles in Peritoneal Carcinomatosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Peritoneal carcinomatosis is a hard‐to‐treat spread of abdominal cancers that often returns after therapy. Nanoparticles were developed to retain an immune‐boosting drug in the abdomen. When combined with chemotherapy in mice, this approach eliminated tumors in many cases and prevented recurrence, helping the immune system mount a stronger, longer ...

A Modular Liver–Microbial Microfluidic Platform to Evaluate Therapeutic and Adverse Effects of Microbial Metabolites

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a modular microfluidic platform that connects liver cells with live microbes to mimic key aspects of the gut–liver interaction in steatosis. Using this system, both microbial metabolites and live bacteria significantly reduced fat accumulation in liver cells, but live microbes triggered inflammation and broader metabolic changes ...

Mineralocorticoid receptor activation contributes to intestinal fibrosis through neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in preclinical models

Nature Communications
Intestinal fibrosis is a common complication in inflammatory bowel diseases with no specific therapy. Because mineralocorticoid receptor antagonism prevented inflammation and fibrosis in extra-intestinal organs, we aimed to evaluate mineralocorticoid ...

Malectin Alleviates Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress in Gestational Diabetes Mellitus via Glycoprotein Quality Control Mechanisms

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Malectin alleviates high glucose‐induced ER stress and damage in placental trophoblasts, a function dependent on its six critical carbohydrate‐binding residues. In a GDM mouse model, administration of TAT‐Malectin ameliorated hyperglycemia and placental ER stress and prevented fetal macrosomia.

Enteric nervous system in exercise physiology: a microbiota-neural interface

npj Metabolic Health and Disease
Exercise responses vary widely among individuals, yet the biological basis of this variability remains poorly understood. Microbiota-derived metabolites operate on timescales of hours to days, making them insufficient to explain rapid gastrointestinal ...
