Macrophage Extracellular Traps in Immunity and Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
As a macrophage‐mediated innate defense mechanism, the dysregulated release of METs drives chronic inflammation and influences tumor progression. Furthermore, METs exhibit a functional duality within the tumor microenvironment, capable of both promoting and suppressing tumor development.

Uricases: reflections on recent developments in the management of challenging gout patients [PDF]

Exploration of Musculoskeletal Diseases
Oral urate-lowering therapy (ULT) is key to treating gout. However, many patients receiving oral ULT do not achieve the target serum urate (SU) levels, partly because some patients cannot tolerate or have contraindications to their use, mainly due to ...

Stimuli‐responsive hydrogels: An intelligent tool for wound management

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
For chronic and complex wounds, this review focuses on intelligent hydrogels capable of responding to wound microenvironmental cues (e.g., pH, enzymes) or external stimuli (e.g., light, electricity). These advanced materials enable the dynamic regulation of drug release and real‐time monitoring of healing progression, thereby offering innovative ...

Economic analysis of Uricase production under uncertainty: Contrast of chromatographic purification and aqueous two-phase extraction (with and without PEG recycle) [PDF]

, 2016
Uricase is the enzyme responsible for the breakdown of uric acid, the key molecule leading to gout in humans, into allantoin, but it is absent in humans. It has been produced as a PEGylated pharmaceutical where the purification is performed through three

Effects of catechins, resveratrol, silymarin components and some of their conjugates on xanthine oxidase‐catalyzed xanthine and 6‐mercaptopurine oxidation

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 105, Issue 5, Page 2765-2776, 30 March 2025.
Abstract BACKGROUND Over the past two decades, the global incidence of gout has markedly increased, affecting people worldwide. Considering the side effects of xanthine oxidase (XO) inhibitor drugs (e.g. allopurinol and febuxostat) used in the treatment of hyperuricemia and gout, the potential application of phytochemicals has been widely studied.

Effects of urate, a natural inhibitor of peroxynitrite-mediated toxicity, in the response of Arabidopsis thaliana to the bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas syringae [PDF]

, 2001
Urate, a natural peroxynitrite scavenger, has been used to investígate the possible role of peroxynitrite during plant-pathogen interactions. Urate greatly reduced lesión formation in Arabidopsis leaves treated with an abiotic peroxynitrite-generating ...

Uric Acid in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
MASLD is the most prevalent chronic liver disease worldwide, yet effective pharmacological treatments remain limited. Hyperuricemia is now recognized as a key driver of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis, with elevated serum uric acid levels independently predicting hepatocellular carcinoma and liver‐related mortality.

Exploring a Subpopulation of MASLD Associated With New Onset of CKD Using Supervised Clustering Techniques

Hepatology Research, EarlyView.
The supervised clustering of metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) using a SHapley Additive exPlanations (SHAP)‐converted matrix reveals distinct subpopulations that improved risk stratification for new onset of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Local inhibition of nitrogen fixation and nodule metabolism in drought-stressed soybean [PDF]

, 2013
Drought stress is a major factor limiting symbiotic nitrogen fixation (NF) in soybean crop production. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in this inhibition are still controversial.
