Mesoporous Bioactive Glasses: A Powerful Tool in Tissue Engineering and Drug Delivery

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This work is a comprehensive revision of bioactive glasses (BGs), pioneered by Prof. L.L. Hench, which are key in bone repair and regenerative medicine. Sol–gel methods and mesoporous designs enhanced their bioactivity, ions, and drug delivery. BGs now support gene therapy and 3D‐printed scaffolds, enabling personalized, multifunctional treatments in ...

Danshen injection ameliorates unilateral ureteral obstruction-induced renal fibrosis by inhibiting ferroptosis via activating SIRT1/GPX4 pathway

Frontiers in Pharmacology
IntroductionThe pathogenesis of renal fibrosis is related to blood stasis, and the method of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis is often used as the treatment principle.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging‐Based Quantification of Endosomal Escape Using Iron Oxide Nanoparticle‐Loaded Lipid Nanoparticles

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
The therapeutic efficacy of lipid nanoparticle(LNP)‐based drugs depends on endosomal escape. However, few methods are available for quantifying the efficiency of endosomal escape in vivo. Herein, a novel method for quantifying the endosomal escape efficiency index using magnetic resonance imaging is introduced.

Renal medullary circulation: Hormonal control

Kidney International, 1990
It is now becoming apparent that the medullary circulation in the kidney can be regulated separately from overall renal blood flow. This characteristic of the medullary circulation plays an important role in the kidney's ability to excrete a dilute or concentrated urine in concert with changes in water and sodium transport in the distal nephron ...
