The role of macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) in the pathogenesis and progression of cardiovascular disease

British Journal of Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Abstract Cardiovascular disease (CVD) remains the leading global cause of death, driven by complex mechanisms, in which chronic inflammation plays a central role. Inflammatory pathways contribute to all stages of CVD, from endothelial dysfunction and plaque formation to erosion, rupture and myocardial injury.

YTHDF3 Enhances Osteogenic Differentiation of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells in Osteoporosis by Promoting TBX19 Expression

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In this study, OP‐BMSCs were successfully isolated from OVX osteoporotic rats. Mechanistic investigations revealed that the RNA‐binding protein YTHDF3 significantly upregulates Tbx19 expression by enhancing the stability of Tbx19 mRNA. Elevated Tbx19 levels, in turn, activate key osteogenic molecules, effectively promoting the differentiation of OP ...
