Uncovering the Genetic Landscape of Spinal Dysraphism: A Retrospective Analysis of 150 Fetal Cases
ABSTRACT Objective Spinal dysraphism (SD) results from incomplete neural tube closure and encompasses a heterogeneous group of congenital anomalies with genetic and environmental etiologies. Although genetic contributions are recognized, causative variants remain insufficiently defined, and the clinical implications of extended genetic testing on ...

From HBV to MASLD Cirrhosis: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Strategies
This review examines the epidemiological shift from hepatitis B virus (HBV) to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as the leading cause of cirrhosis globally. It highlights the distinct pathogenic mechanisms between HBV and MASLD cirrhosis and discusses evolving diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies tailored to the ...

ABSTRACT Psychological stress (or simply “stress”) is a major contributor to chronic disease worldwide, affecting 35% of the global population, including younger generations. Furthermore, it plays a significant role in human premature aging; hence, its detrimental effects on people's health compel us to comprehend and control the ways in which ...

Harnessing energy metabolism for enhanced bone defect repair: Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies
This review addresses the critical challenge of bone defect repair by focusing on the underexplored role of cellular energy metabolism. It synthesizes regulatory mechanisms in bone‐forming cells and sums up innovative strategies—leveraging cell derivatives, active factors, and biomimetic scaffolds—to modulate metabolism for enhanced regeneration.
