UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Unveiling the role of mitofusin proteins in periodontal inflammation: Mitofusin-1 and Mitofusin-2 perspectives

Tanta Dental Journal
Abstract Periodontal diseases result from the complex interplay between microbial pathogens and the host immune response. Emerging evidence suggests that alterations in mitochondrial dynamics proteins, particularly Mitofusin-1 (MFN1) and Mitofusin-2 (MFN2), contribute to the pathogenesis of periodontal inflammation.

Mitofusin 2 Exerts a Protective Role in Ischemia Reperfusion Injury Through Increasing Autophagy

Cellular Physiology and Biochemistry, 2018
Background/Aims: Autophagy is essential for maintaining cellular homeostasis and the survival of terminally differentiated cells as neurons. In this study, we aim to investigate whether mitofusin 2, a mitochondrial fusion protein, mediates autophagy in ...

ELABELA Targets Mitochondria to Modulate Heart Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The role of peptide ELABELA (ELA) in cardiomyocyte apoptosis and congenital heart disease (CHD) is unclear. ELA deficiency caused cardiomyocyte apoptosis and CHD. A novel ELA‐APJ‐AKT‐BCL2/BAX axis in regulating mitochondrial function and contributing to CHD pathogenesis was established.

Mitochondria Clumping vs. Mitochondria Fusion in CMT2A Diseases

Life, 2022
Phenotypic variations in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2A (CMT2A) result from the many mutations in the mitochondrial fusion protein, mitofusin 2 (MFN2).

The PINK1/Parkin pathway: a mitochondrial quality control system? [PDF]

, 2009
Significant insight into the mechanisms that contribute to dopaminergic neurodegeneration in Parkinson disease has been gained from the analysis of genes linked to rare heritable forms of parkinsonism such as PINK1 and parkin, loss-of-function mutations ...

Mitochondrial Enzymes Mimetic Ultrasmall Palladium Nanozymes Prevent Senescence and Neurodegeneration Through Metabolic Reprogramming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Simply constructed polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) modified palladium nanoparticles (PdP NPs) as cytochrome c oxidase (CcO) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) mimic are promising multifunctional nanoreactors to boost mitochondrial respiration chain function and refine homeostasis via regulation of mitochondrial dynamics and proteostasis sensor UPRmt, which ...

Structural dataset from microsecond-long simulations of yeast mitofusin Fzo1 in the context of membrane docking

Data in Brief, 2019
In this work we present a novel set of possible auto-oligomerisation states of yeast protein Fzo1 in the context of membrane docking. The dataset reports atomistic models and trajectories derived from a molecular dynamics study of the yeast mitofusin ...

Nicotine Affects Multiple Biological Processes in EpiDerm^TM Organotypic Tissues and Keratinocyte Monolayers

Atmosphere, 2022
Dermal exposure to nicotine is common due to the widespread use of tobacco products. Here, we assessed the effects of nicotine at concentrations found in thirdhand smoke (THS) contaminated environments and electronic cigarette (EC) spills or leaks on a ...
