Schematic illustration showing that FAP‐α promoted angiogenesis, cytokine release and ECM degradation in the CEP degeneration of the intervertebral disc through upregulating the PI3K/Akt/HIF‐1α/VEGFA pathway. ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a primary cause of low back pain, with the development of new blood vessels being a key ...

Mitochondrial DNA: A Key Alarmin Igniting the Inflammasome Fire in Health and Disease
This review illustrates how mitochondrial DNA, released under cellular stress, acts as a key alarmin that ignites innate immune sensors, particularly inflammasomes and the cGAS‐STING pathway. This paper details how this sustained “inflammasome fire” fuels the progression of diverse inflammatory diseases, including neurodegeneration and metabolic ...

The NF‐κB Signalling Pathway: Mechanisms, Consequences and Therapeutic Targets
ABSTRACT Nuclear Factor‐kappa B (NF‐κB) is a master transcriptional regulator orchestrating critical cellular processes, predominantly immunity and inflammation. However, its aberrant constitutive activation has emerged as a unifying pathogenetic hallmark across diverse malignancies, autoimmune disorders, and chronic inflammatory diseases.

Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Aortic Thrombosis in a Capuchin Monkey (Sapajus apella)
ABSTRACT This case report describes a capuchin monkey (Sapajus apella) that presented with bilateral paralysis and cold hind limbs. Clinical examination, including ultrasound imaging, revealed dilated cardiomyopathy and aortic thrombosis. Macroscopic, histopathological, and immunohistochemical analyses confirmed these findings.
