Therapeutic Repair of Sperm Quality Decline Caused by Polytetrafluoroethylene

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Exposure to PTFE (teflon), a commonly used microplastic in non‐stick cookware, significantly reduces sperm quality in both humans and mice. Specifically, PTFE induces the disruption of sperm cytoskeleton and F‐actin assembly through targeting SKAP2 in haploid spermatid.

ADAR1 as a Placental Innate Immune Rheostat Sustaining the Homeostatic Balance of Intrinsic Interferon Response at the Maternal‐Fetal Interface

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study reveals that ADAR1, an RNA‐editing enzyme, fine‐tunes immune responses in the placenta by preventing the accumulation of immunogenic double‐stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) from interferon‐stimulated genes. The loss of ADAR1 in the placenta leads to excessive interferon signaling restricted to the junctional zone, disrupting placental development and ...

Mortalin and PINK1/Parkin‐Mediated Mitophagy Represent Ovarian Cancer‐Selective Targets for Drug Development

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ovarian cancer patients with high levels of mortalin protein in their tumors have worse survival. The investigational drug SHetA2 interferes with mortalin's support of mitochondria. The resulting mitochondrial damage causes a process called mitophagy that contributes to how SHetA2 kills cancer cells. Noncancerous cells repair their mitochondria through

Characteristics Symptoms of Imminent Eclampsia: A case Referent Study from a Tertiary Hospital in Tanzania [PDF]

, 2012
\ud \ud Maternal mortality in developing coun- tries is unacceptably high with eclampsia being con- sistently among the top causes. As yet, primary pre- vention of this complication is not possible since causes of pre-eclampsia are largely unknown and ...

EETs Reduction Contributes to Granulosa Cell Senescence and Endometriosis‐Associated Infertility via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathway

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
1) 14, 15‐EET levels were decreased in ovarian granulosa cells, follicular fluid, peritoneal fluid from endometriosis patients. 2) EETs reduction in endometriosis follicular fluid aggravated granulosa cell senescence. 3) ROS reduced 14, 15‐EET levels by upregulating EPHX2 through a mechanism involving histone methylation modification.

eIF4E Enriched Extracellular Vesicles Induce Immunosuppressive Macrophages through HMGCR‐Mediated Metabolic Rewiring

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Here, it is revealed that ovarian cancer cells release extracellular vesicles enriched with eIF4E, which alters protein production in macrophages. This leads to increased expression of 3‐hydroxy‐3‐methyl‐glutaryl‐coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR), boosting cholesterol synthesis and activating an immunosuppressive pathway through X‐box binding protein 1 and ...
