F‐box only protein 2 (FBXO2) combats intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD) by coordinating dual protection. It activates PTEN‐induced putative kinase 1 (PINK1)‐Parkin mitophagy restoring mitochondrial function and targets lipocalin‐2 (LCN2) for degradation, suppressing ferroptosis.

In ESCC patients, SNORA58 exhibits heterogeneous expression patterns. Its aberrant overexpression stabilizes CTCF by inhibiting ubiquitin‐mediated degradation, leading to the attenuation of JNK1‐mediated ferroptosis induced by radiotherapy through disruption of intracellular iron homeostasis, and ultimately contributes to radioresistance ...

Harnessing the Biological Responses Induced by Nanomaterials for Enhanced Cancer Therapy
Nanomaterial (NM)‐induced toxicity can be strategically repurposed for cancer therapy. This review summarizes the mechanism by which NMs selectively activate specific cellular processes to regulate cell fate independently. We also discussed how NMs‐induced biological responses can be leveraged as therapeutic strategies for cancer treatment.

Evaluation of Serum Ferritin Levels in Patients of Hypothyroidism [PDF]
Background: The thyroid gland is a bilobed endocrine gland that secretes two vital hormones: thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3). The production and release of these hormones are regulated by the thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) from the pituitary ...
