Objective Beyond its role as a ribosome‐targeting antibiotic, linezolid was recently shown to modulate immune responses by inhibiting mitochondrial translation. Because mitochondrial dysfunction is implicated in various fibrotic diseases, including systemic sclerosis (SSc), this study aimed to evaluate the antifibrotic potential of linezolid and ...

Improved Messenger RNA Stability and Biocompatibility Through Self‐Gelatinizable Nucleic Acids
ABSTRACT Recent advances in the chemical synthesis and modification of messenger RNA (mRNA) have generated growing interest in mRNA‐based therapeutics. However, the inherent instability of mRNA in vivo and during storage remains a major challenge, requiring the development of safe and effective delivery systems.

Apoptosis inhibition reprograms alveolar myofibroblasts toward ductal myofibroblasts
ABSTRACTThe epithelial tree of the lung is shaped proximo-distally by airway smooth muscle cells (ASMCs), ductal myofibroblasts (DMFs), and, transiently, alveolar myofibroblasts (AMFs). Lineage tracing and snapshot imaging suggest the clearance of AMFs via apoptosis post-alveologenesis, although definitive evidence is lacking.

Biomaterial design strategies for enhancing mitochondrial transplantation therapy
Biomaterials to facilitate mitochondrial transplantation therapy: biomaterials as barriers to protect mitochondria from pathophysiological microenvironments, like osmotic stress caused by the excessive concentration of calcium ion, reactive oxygen species, and advanced glycation end products; biomaterials integrating with biochemical cues to improve ...

Adipocytes in Aortic Stenosis: Association With Clinical and Morphological Indices
ABSTRACT Recently, great attention has been given to understanding the new pathogenetic mechanisms underlying aortic stenosis (AS). The study aims to understand the role of mature adipocytes in AS and their association with histologic, clinical, and echocardiographic data, an area previously overlooked in AS research.
