A model for de novo pigmentation of amelanotic retinal pigment epithelial cells
Abstract Purpose Retinal Pigment Epithelial (RPE) cells perform critical functions in the visual cycle. Their melanin pigmentation, which is organized into specialized compartments – melanosomes, is highly critical for proper vision. A chemical method to induce pigmentation in a non‐pigmented model of ARPE‐19 cells was applied using L‐DOPA as a ...

Insights Into Gut Barrier Dysfunction and Metabolic Alterations in Mycophenolate‐Induced Enteropathy
ABSTRACT Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is a widely used immunosuppressant whose use is often limited by gastrointestinal toxicity. Gut bacterial hydrolysis of liver‐derived MPA glucuronides increases local exposure to MPA, potentially impairing epithelial barrier function and cellular metabolism.

Abstract The etiology of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains under active debate. In this perspective, we explore the hypothesis that a primarily infection‐caused chronic dysregulation and weakening of human innate immunity via the underexpression, degradation, and inactivation of innate immune proteins necessary for direct antimicrobial effects and ...

Extracellular Vesicles: Biology, Intercellular Communication and Therapeutic Potential in Diabetes
Exosome packaging in diabetes mellitus is depicted. Induced expression levels of RBP4, WNT related proteins, TGFB1, BMPs, VEGFs, STAT3, Calpain2 and altered expression levels of microRNAs in the exosomes are responsible for the inflammatory actions, defective central metabolism, myofibroblasts proliferation, dysregulated cell migration, cell ...

An Engineered Solidified Peptide Hemocyte Sponge as Nanomotor Storage to Combat Bacterial Colitis
Peptides immobilized via nickel coordination can stabilize the framework structure. Following coating with red blood cell membranes, these constructs are capable of continuously sequestering endotoxins and mitigating colonic pathogenic damage by alleviating bacterial‐induced ferroptosis.
