Epigenetic Regulation in the Pathogenesis of Renal Inflammation: Insights and Therapeutic Potentials
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Renal inflammation is a common pathological process in various kidney diseases, often initiated by factors such as toxins, ischemia, or autoimmune reactions. This inflammatory response can result in structural damage and a rapid decline in renal function.

Nature Communications, 2016 The processes regulating the ageing of stem cells are not clearly defined. Here, the authors report that in haematopoietic stem cells (HSC) thioredoxin-interacting protein, known to regulate the cell cycle, binds to p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase ...

iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Insulin resistance is the biological phenomenon in which the human body's normal response to the metabolic hormone insulin is compromised. Insulin is a regulator of most of the essential metabolic steps in the body that control energy homoeostasis, so dysregulation leads to multiple diverse human diseases including, most prominently, Type 2 ...

The Endothelial CXCR Family in Vascular Health and Disease
iNew Medicine, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Endothelial cells (ECs) form the dynamic interface between blood and tissue, serving as key regulators of vascular homeostasis, inflammation, and repair. Among the molecular systems governing endothelial behavior, the C‐X‐C motif chemokine receptor (CXCR) family—originally characterized in immunology for its roles in leukocyte trafficking and ...

Effects of β2-agonists and exercise on β2-adrenergic receptor signaling in skeletal muscles
Journal of Physical Fitness and Sports Medicine, 2012 In this review, we discuss the anabolic and metabolic responses of skeletal muscles to β2-agonists and exercise. β2-agonists increase muscle mass, particularly in fast-twitch muscles.

The regulation of stem cell fate and its application in neural regeneration
Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.Regulating stem cell fate is crucial for neural regeneration. This review summarizes key physical, biological, and chemical strategies and their applications in repairing nerve injuries, providing new insights for regenerative medicine. Abstract Regulating the fate of stem cells (SCs) is a key technical problem in the field of regenerative medicine and

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.Macrophage‐derived S100 calcium‐binding protein A9 (S100A9) promotes the pathological progression of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). S100A9 upregulates the interaction between signal‐transducing adaptor protein 2 and leucine‐rich repeat kinase 2, thereby regulating mitochondria–endoplasmic reticulum (ER) contact.

Crosstalk and signalling switches in mitogen-activated protein kinase cascades
Frontiers in Physiology, 2012 Mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) cascades control cell fate decisions, such as proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis by integrating and processing intra- and extracellular cues.
