ABSTRACT Background and Aims Evidence supporting the association between anaemia and lower iron intakes during pregnancy with an increased risk of childhood asthma remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether (i) lower haemoglobin or anaemia in late pregnancy and (ii) lower mean dietary iron intake in pregnancy were associated with a higher

Silencing airway epithelial cell-derived hepcidin exacerbates sepsis-induced acute lung injury [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The production of antimicrobial peptides by airway epithelial cells is an important component of the innate immune response to pulmonary infection and inflammation. Hepcidin is a β-defensin-like antimicrobial peptide and acts as a principal

Mast Cell‐Derived CXCL4: A Key Mediator of Ferroptosis and Cardiac Damage in Septic Cardiomyopathy
ABSTRACT Background Septic cardiomyopathy (SCM) is a common and life‐threatening complication of severe sepsis, with high mortality due to unclear underlying mechanisms. CXCL4, a key pro‐inflammatory factor, is implicated in various heart diseases, while ferroptosis (iron and lipid hydrogen peroxide‐dependent regulated cell death) plays a crucial role ...

The α1‐adrenergic receptor is involved in hepcidin upregulation induced by adrenaline and norepinephrine via the STAT3 pathway [PDF]
Elevated body iron stores are associated with hypertension progression, while hypertension is associated with elevated plasma catecholamine levels in patients. However, there is a gap in our understanding of the connection between catecholamines and iron

RNA‐Binding Proteins and Ferroptosis in Cancer: Mechanism and Therapeutic Implications
Ferroptosis critically influences cancer cell fate and represents a promising therapeutic strategy. Emerging evidence identifies RNA‐binding proteins (RBPs) as key post‐transcriptional regulators of ferroptosis. The figure summarizes ferroptosis‐related RBPs across cancers: blue RBPs act as tumor suppressors by promoting ferroptosis, whereas red RBPs ...

Expression of functional recombinant human tissue transglutaminase (TG2) using the bac-to-bac baculovirus expression system [PDF]
Purpose: Tissue transglutaminase (TG2) is a unique multifunctional enzyme. The enzyme possesses enzymatic activities such as transamidation/crosslinking and non-enzymatic functions such as cell migration and signal transduction.

Abstract Predicting drug–target affinity (DTA) is critical for discovering and developing hepatoprotective agents that can prevent and treat liver diseases. In this study, we propose BiGraph‐DTA, a new predictive model for identifying DTA score prediction for hepatoprotective compounds by combining graph convolutional networks and bidirectional long ...

ABSTRACT Precursor‐targeted immune‐mediated anaemia (PIMA) is an uncommon and poorly understood cause of persistent non‐regenerative anaemia in dogs and cats, characterised by ineffective erythropoiesis and frequently associated with rubriphagocytosis (RP) in bone marrow samples.
