PCSK9 Loss‐of‐Function Disrupts Cellular Microfilament Network via LIN28A/HES5/JMY Axis in Neural Tube Defects

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PCSK9 acts as a molecular chaperone promoting LIN28A lysosomal degradation. LIN28A elevates transcription factor HES5, increasing JMY expression. PCSK9 loss causes neural tube defects (NTDs) by disrupting the LIN28A/HES5/JMY axis, and high JMY disorganizes the neural progenitor cell microfilament network, leading to incomplete neural tube structure in ...

Restoring Histone Acetylation Accelerates Diabetic Wound Repair by Improving the Spatiotemporal Dynamics of Macrophages

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Butyrate—via epigenetic modulation of the histone core—rebalance dysregulated macrophage function and promotes wound healing under persisting hostile conditions of diabetic mice. Additionally, butyrate harmonizes macrophage interactions with keratinocytes and fibroblasts as well as breaks the vicious cycle of inflammation in chronic wounds by restoring

Tie2‐Dependent Mechanisms Influence Leptomeningeal Collateral Dynamics and Reperfusion Following Stroke

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates that endothelial EphA4 limits Tie2 activation and curbs leptomeningeal collateral expansion after ischemic stroke. Pharmacological activation of Tie2 by an Ang‐1 mimetic or genetic loss of EphA4 stimulates collateral vessel growth, improves cerebral perfusion, and enhances neurological recovery.

Mechanisms and Pathophysiological Significance of Insulin Resistance in Offspring With Intrauterine Growth Restriction Mediated by Hepatic GR/miR‐1224 Programming

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This work found that early‐stage insulin sensitization but late‐stage insulin resistance in prenatal caffeine exposure (PCE)‐ induced intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) offspring may be related to the hepatic AGEs accumulation via intrauterine GR/miR‐1224 programming by glucocorticoids.

PRENATAL CARE AND PREMATURITY [PDF]

Pediatric Research, 1984
The value of frequent routine prenatal clinic visits in seemingly uncomplicated pregnancies has been questioned. To determine whether routine outpatient care significantly influences the incidence of premature delivery, we analyzed prenatal care compliance among low-risk patients who delivered over a one-year period.
