Sphingosine‐1‐Phosphate Receptor Modulators for the Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis: A Narrative Review Focusing on Safety

United European Gastroenterology Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ulcerative colitis is a chronic immune‐mediated inflammatory disease of the colon that causes considerable morbidity and increases the risk of colorectal cancer. Several targeted therapies have been developed for moderate‐to‐severe ulcerative colitis, significantly improving its management.

The role of the host—Neutrophil biology

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract Neutrophilic polymorphonuclear leukocytes (neutrophils) are myeloid cells packed with lysosomal granules (hence also called granulocytes) that contain a formidable antimicrobial arsenal. They are terminally differentiated cells that play a critical role in acute and chronic inflammation, as well as in the resolution of inflammation and wound ...

Isolated asthenozoospermia: What should we know? A narrative review of literature

UroPrecision, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Male infertility contributes to 20%–70% of infertile couple cases worldwide. One of the key challenges in this area is asthenozoospermia or reduced sperm motility. A particular subset, known as isolated asthenozoospermia (iASZ), in which low motility occurs without abnormalities in sperm count or shape, often goes unnoticed and is not well ...

Periodontitis and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease: A critical appraisal

Periodontology 2000, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract In spite of intensive research efforts driving spectacular advances in terms of prevention and treatments, cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading health burden, accounting for 32% of all deaths (World Health Organization. “Cardiovascular Diseases (CVDs).” WHO, February 1, 2017, https://www.who.int/news‐room/fact‐sheets/detail ...

Unveiling the complex extra‐oral colonization pathways and pathogenic mechanisms of Fusobacterium nucleatum, a heterogeneous oral pathogen

VIEW, Volume 6, Issue 3, June 2025.
We summarize the taxonomic characteristics, capabilities to adhere to and invade host cells, extra‐oral ectopic colonization pathways, and major pathogenic mechanisms of Fusobacterium nucleatum, and explore the regulation of F. nucleatum’s pathogenesis, aiming to provide references and assistance for the development of clinical interventions and future

Relaxin‐2 improves type I diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction in rats by protecting cavernous endothelial and smooth muscle function, and inhibiting penile fibrosis and apoptosis

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Diabetes mellitus‐induced erectile dysfunction (DMED) responds poorly to first‐line treatments, necessitating the development of new therapeutic strategies. Relaxin‐2 (RLX‐2) plays a crucial role in protecting vascular endothelium, vasodilatation, and antifibrosis in various diseases.

Human asthenozoospermia: Update on genetic causes, patient management, and clinical strategies

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background In mammals, sperm fertilization potential relies on efficient progression within the female genital tract to reach and fertilize the oocyte. This fundamental property is supported by the flagellum, an evolutionarily conserved organelle, which contains dynein motor proteins that provide the mechanical force for sperm propulsion and ...

A narrative literature review about alpha‐lipoic acid role in dry eye and ocular surface disease

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Ocular surface diseases (OSD) include various conditions that affect the eye's surface, causing discomfort and pain. One such condition, dry eye disease (DED), is a multifactorial disorder that significantly impacts patients' quality of life, with prevalence rates ranging from 5% to 50% and higher incidence in women.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying gyrate atrophy: Why is the retina primarily affected?

Acta Ophthalmologica, EarlyView.
Abstract Gyrate atrophy of the choroid and retina (GACR; OMIM #258870) is a rare early‐onset autosomal recessive disorder, caused by bi‐allelic pathogenic variants in the gene coding for ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) resulting in hyperornithinaemia.

Non‐canonical nitric oxide signalling and DNA methylation: Inflammation induced epigenetic alterations and potential drug targets

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract DNA methylation controls DNA accessibility to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, thereby affecting gene expression and hence cellular identity and function. As epigenetic modifications control the transcriptome, epigenetic dysfunction is strongly associated with pathological conditions and ageing.
