Ursolic Acid Alleviates Orchitis via Modulating Ferroptosis in Peritubular Myoid Cells of Testis

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
Ursolic acid modulates key ferroptosis‐related pathways in the peritubular myoid cells of the testis in forest musk deer. ABSTRACT Chronic stress adversely affects reproductive health, increasing susceptibility to pathologies such as orchitis. Additionally, the maintenance of iron homeostasis is essential for preserving the function of the testicles ...

The Nuclear Receptor Testicular Receptor 4 Orchestrates Cytoskeletal Organization in a G Protein Subunit Alpha 12/Rho‐Associated Protein Kinase–Dependent Manner to Promote Myofibroblast Differentiation and Tissue Fibrosis in Systemic Sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, EarlyView.
Objective Members of the superfamily of nuclear receptors have been implicated in inflammatory processes and pathologic tissue remodeling and have emerged as attractive targets for pharmaceutical intervention. However, the role of testicular receptor 4 (TR4; or Nr2c2) in fibroblast activation and rheumatologic diseases has not yet been investigated ...

The synergistic impact of granulocytic myeloid‐derived suppressor cells and innate lymphoid cells in systemic sclerosis

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a chronic autoimmune disorder characterized by immune dysregulation and fibrosis, with myeloid‐derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) emerging as important regulators of immune responses. However, the role of MDSCs in SSc‐associated fibrosis and their interactions with other immune cell populations remain poorly ...
