ABSTRACT Background Skeletal muscle atrophy is a debilitating condition associated with diverse diseases and clinical interventions. Although triggers such as glucocorticoid excess or direct muscle injury disrupt the balance between protein homeostasis and tissue repair, the upstream molecular signals that actively preserve muscle integrity remain ...

Atrial fibrosis is an essential contributor to atrial fibrillation (AF). It remains unclear whether atrial endocardial endothelial cells (AEECs) that undergo endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) are among the sources of atrial fibroblasts.

In a disease-state-dependent manner, the histamine-resistant itch in dry skin-based skin diseases such as atopic dermatitis (AD) and xerosis is mainly due to hyperinnervation in the epidermis.

ABSTRACT Atopic dermatitis (AD) is a chronic inflammatory dermatitis underpinned by Type 2 inflammation driven by cytokines such as IL‐4 and IL‐13. It is characterized by skin barrier dysfunction, Th2 immune deviation, and pruritus. While biologics and oral Janus kinase (JAK) inhibitors demonstrate high therapeutic efficacy by targeting cytokines that ...

Semaphorin-3A protects against neointimal hyperplasia after vascular injuryResearch in context
Background: Neointimal hyperplasia is a prominent pathological event during in-stent restenosis. Phenotype switching of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) from a differentiated/contractile to a dedifferentiated/synthetic phenotype, accompanied by ...

Resident myonuclei are the molecular “control centers” for large multinuclear muscle fibers. It is presumed that, with aging, these control centers become compromised and contribute to delayed or blunted muscle adaptive potential. This study is a detailed roadmap that exposes how young versus aged myonuclei respond to a hypertrophic loading stimulus ...

Background Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease of which the pathogenetic mechanisms are not fully understood. Semaphorin3A (Sema3A) has an immune regulatory role.

Sema3a inhibits the differentiation of Raw264.7 cells to osteoclasts under 2Gy radiation by reducing inflammation. [PDF]
Astronauts and cancer patients receive different types of radiation, and radiation decreases bone strength and leads to radiation-induced osteoporosis. This effect is attributed to the activation of osteoclasts.

• Excitatory neurons and astrocytes show marked alterations in the single‐cell spatial transcriptomic atlas of epileptogenic cortex from patients with focal cortical dysplasia type I (FCDI). • The CBLN2high excitatory neuron subtype may be associated with neuronal hyperexcitability and cortical development in FCDI.
