ABSTRACT Bisphenol A (BPA), a common industrial chemical used in plastics and consumer products, is increasingly detected in aquatic environments, raising serious concerns about its potential ecological impacts. This study evaluated the sublethal and acute toxic effects of BPA on the freshwater planarian Girardia tigrina, a recognized model for ...

TGF‐β1 Directly Sensitizes Capsaicin‐Sensitive Lung Vagal Neurons to Promote Airway Hypersensitivity
ABSTRACT Aim Transforming growth factor‐β1 (TGF‐β1) is a pleiotropic cytokine implicated in the pathogenesis of inflammatory airway diseases such as asthma. Airway hypersensitivity (AHS), arising from sensitization of capsaicin‐sensitive lung vagal (CSLV) afferents, is a hallmark of these airway diseases.

ABSTRACT Objective The effect of transsphenoidal surgery (TSS) on the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐gonadal (HPG) axis in patients with non‐functioning pituitary adenomas (NFPA) is underexplored, especially in women. Our aim was to investigate the HPG axis function before and after TSS, its association with quality of life (QoL), and to identify factors that ...

Environmental stress conditioning modified the susceptibility of Salmonella Typhimurium and Listeria innocua to carvacrol and thymol. Osmotic and cold adaptation were associated with increased tolerance and faster recovery after antimicrobial exposure.

Identification of Sodium/Myo‐Inositol Transporter 1 as a Major Determinant of Arterial Contractility
The tonicity‐responsive enhancer binding‐protein (TonEBP) and serum glucocorticoid kinase (SGK) sense a rise in extracellular hypertonicity resulting in an increase SMIT1 membrane abundance in vascular smooth muscle cells. SMIT1 associates with Kv7.4/5, Gβγ, and KCNE4, promoting hyperpolarization, reduced voltage‐gated calcium channel (VGCC) opening ...

High glucose upregulates S100A1, enhancing MDM2–KLF15 interaction and K48‐linked ubiquitination of KLF15. Degradation of KLF15 relieves ID1 repression, promoting ID1 upregulation, inflammation, fibrosis, tubular injury, and DKD progression. ABSTRACT Diabetic kidney disease (DKD) is the leading cause of end‐stage renal disease globally.

Inositol pyrophosphate kinases in health and disease
In mammalian cells, IP6Ks and PPIP5Ks are the key kinases synthesizing the inositol pyrophosphates 5PP‐InsP5 and InsP8. They are essential for early development but also mediate age‐related diseases, including metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancers.

This review examines how cellular behavior is regulated by mechanical cues transmitted through soft biomaterials, from single‐cell mechanosensing to tissue‐level adaptation. It highlights why physiological relevance, rather than model complexity alone, is critical for translational mechanobiology and introduces a scoring framework linking material ...

Making the Case for Organ‐on‐Chip Platforms in Long‐Acting Therapeutics Development
LATs release drug from a tissue‐resident depot over weeks to months, improving adherence, but their development is hampered by preclinical models that cannot reproduce the coupled tissue processes, sustained release, local microenvironment change, interstitial transport, immune and foreign‐body responses, and clearance that govern depot performance in ...
