Massage‐Mimicking Nanosheets Mechanically Reorganize Inter‐organelle Contacts to Restore Mitochondrial Functions in Parkinson's Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Parkinson's disease (PD) progression is aggravated by disrupted inter‐organelle contacts, which are influenced by mechanical forces. NanoMassage, 200 nm PEGylated black phosphorus nanosheets, deliver targeted mechanical stimulation to neural cells.

Saxitoxin Poisoning in Green Turtles (Chelonia mydas) Linked to Scavenging on Mass Mortality of Caribbean Sharpnose Puffer Fish (Canthigaster rostrata-Tetraodontidae)

Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2019
Fish within the family Tetraodontidae are potential sources of both endogenous tetrodotoxins (TTXs) and dietary derived saxitoxins (STXs). Ingestion of fish tissues containing these toxins by other vertebrates can lead to severe illness and death.

Accumulation of Damaging Lipids in the Arf1‐Ablated Neurons Promotes Neurodegeneration through Releasing mtDNA and Activating Inflammatory Pathways in Microglia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Arf1 defects activate the AKT‐mTORC1‐SREBP1‐FASN pathway to increase lipid synthesis and disrupt ER‐mitochondrial‐lysosomal homeostasis in neurons. Impaired mitochondria secrete damaged mtDNA via mitochondria‐derived extracellular vesicles, which is phagocytosed by the microglia and activated inflammation signaling.

Treatment‐related adverse events of antibody–drug conjugates in clinical trials: A systematic review and meta‐analysis

Cancer, Volume 129, Issue 2, Page 283-295, 15 January 2023., 2023
Abstract Background Antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs) have complex molecular structures and have been tested in numerous clinical trials. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms of their toxicity when applied in medical practice is of high importance. Methods In a systematic review and meta‐analysis of data gathered from different scientific databases ...

Short Toxin-like Proteins Attack the Defense Line of Innate Immunity

Toxins, 2013
ClanTox (classifier of animal toxins) was developed for identifying toxin-like candidates from complete proteomes. Searching mammalian proteomes for short toxin-like proteins (coined TOLIPs) revealed a number of overlooked secreted short proteins with an

Parkinsonism-inducing neurotoxin, N-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6 -tetrahydropyridine: uptake of the metabolite N-methyl-4-phenylpyridine by dopamine neurons explains selective toxicity.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 1985
N-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) produces neuropathological and clinical abnormalities in humans, monkeys, and mice that closely resemble idiopathic parkinsonism.

Ultrasound‐Assisted H2 Transmitter Enables Hydrogen‐Gene Therapy to Prevent Anesthesia/Surgery‐Induced Cognitive Impairment

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) remains a challenge with no effective treatments. This study introduces a novel hydrogen‐gene therapy strategy, combining focused ultrasound and siRNA delivery via hydrogen emitters, to repair neuroinflammation in a precise and controlled manner.
