Thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a life‐threatening cardiovascular disease with limited therapeutic options. Through single‐cell RNA sequencing of aortic tissues from healthy individuals and TAA patients (105,541 cells), we identified CLEC5A+macrophages as the predominant pathogenic cell population exhibiting the highest M1 polarization score.

Molecular Functions and Drug Prediction of MMP1 and TGFBR2 in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma
MMP1 and TGFBR2 were validated by machine learning and external datasets as the candidate genes. Dexamethasone showed strong binding affinity to MMP1 (−7.72 kcal/mol) and TGFBR2 (−7.27 kcal/mol) in docking studies. Knockdown of MMP1 repressed the malignant phenotypes of NPC cells.

The Landscape of Biomarkers in ICU‐Associated AKI: From Protein Markers to Cell‐Free Nucleic Acids
Acute kidney injury (AKI) in critically ill patients—particularly in sepsis—often develops early and is missed by creatinine/urine output–based criteria, delaying risk stratification and timely intervention. This review synthesizes current evidence on established and emerging AKI biomarkers (e.g., NGAL, KIM‐1, [TIMP‐2]·[IGFBP7]) alongside circulating ...
