Targeting Endogenous Lipophagy: A Novel Strategy to Enhance MSC Osteogenesis and Mineralization for Senile Osteoporosis Therapy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Schematic representation of the role of lipophagy in bone mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs). In healthy MSCs, functional lipophagy efficiently degrades lipid droplets to support oxidative phosphorylation and cellular energy production, thereby facilitating osteogenic differentiation and matrix mineralization.

A Dual‐Channel Synergistic Ultrasensitive Biosensor for Tumor Liquid Biopsy

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Liquid biopsy technology, which detects circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) in cerebrospinal fluid, plays a crucial role in the early diagnosis and precision treatment of gliomas. However, the intrinsically low abundance and rapid clearance of ctDNA pose substantial challenges for conventional analytical techniques, such as droplet digital PCR and ...

Drug‐Induced Cuproptosis Defines the Therapeutic Window of Celecoxib in Intervertebral Disc Degeneration via the HSP90‐RBX1 Axis

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals the dual role of celecoxib in intervertebral disc degeneration. While low concentrations are protective, high concentrations induce toxicity by upregulating HSP90, which synergizes with USP15 to deubiquitinate and stabilize RBX1. This leads to degradation of COMMD1/ATP7B, copper dyshomeostasis, and ultimately, cuproptosis.

Compression suture: A method for simulating intervertebral disc degeneration in rats induced by excessive loading

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the compression suture group, a 5‐mm‐wide tail skin was removed, and then the defect was sutured to apply compressive force to the intervertebral disc. In the sham group, only the 5‐mm‐wide tail skin was removed without a compression suture. Compression suturing triggers apoptosis, inflammatory response, and imbalance of extracellular matrix ...

Lumbar punction: comparison between an atraumatic and a traumatic punction needle

open access: yesZdravniški Vestnik, 2017
Background: Lumbar puncture is a standardized, routine diagnostic procedure in the diagnosis of neurological diseases. Post-duarl puncture headache (PDPH) is a common complication which occurs in 10 to 30 % of patients.

Research progress on biomarkers of traumatic brain injury

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Traumatic brain injury: From primary insult to secondary neuroinflammation and degeneration. Abstract Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a common disorder of the nervous system and has become a leading cause of death and disability worldwide, imposing a substantial burden on patients and their social circles. Its main symptoms include dyskinesia, language

Novel Monoclonal Antibody Detects Small Aβ Oligomers More Sensitively Than Lecanemab in Alzheimer's Disease CSF, Serum and Culture Media

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Aqueously diffusible oligomers of the amyloid β‐protein (oAβ) are neurotoxic and play a role in neuronal dysfunction in Alzheimer's disease (AD). Accurate quantification of oAβ in brains and biofluids could be valuable for understanding and monitoring AD.
