Anti-Inflammatory Responses Produced with Nippostrongylus brasiliensis-Derived Uridine via the Mitochondrial ATP-Sensitive Potassium Channel and Its Anti-Atherosclerosis Effect in an Apolipoprotein E Gene Knockout Mouse Model

Biomolecules
Atherosclerosis (AS) has become the leading cause of cardiovascular disease worldwide. Our previous study had observed that Nippostrongylus brasiliensis (Nb) infection or its derived products could inhibit AS development by inducing an anti-inflammatory ...

Uridine treatment prevents myocardial injury in rat models of acute ischemia and ischemia/reperfusion by activating the mitochondrial ATP-dependent potassium channel

Scientific Reports, 2021
The effect of uridine on the myocardial ischemic and reperfusion injury was investigated. A possible mechanism of its cardioprotective action was established.

“More” Artificial mRNAs: Beyond the Art of Nature

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by nature yet transcending it, synthetic mRNA is being redesigned beyond the canonical architecture. This review highlights emerging forms—circular, branched, and self‐amplifying mRNAs—that expand stability, persistence, and functional control, illustrating how artificial mRNA is evolving into a new medium for programmable biological ...

Illuminating Mitochondrial RNA G‐Quadruplexes as Structural Brakes on RNA Granule Assembly and OXPHOS

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A new fluorescent probe, MitoQUMA, brings mitochondrial RNA G‐quadruplexes (mtRNA G4s) into view in live cells. This tool reveals that excessive mtRNA G4 formation halts mitochondrial RNA granule (MRG) assembly, opposite to the phase‐separation role of cytoplasmic RNA G4s. A chemical genetic screen further identifies a Wnt/β‐catenin–GRSF1–mtRNA G4 axis

Polyphenol‐Based Biomaterials Against Cancer Radio/Chemotherapy‐Induced Intestinal Toxicity

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Radiotherapy/chemotherapy often causes intestinal toxicity, impairing cancer patients’ quality of life and treatment efficacy. Polyphenols protect against this injury via multiple mechanisms, but face oral use limitations. This review outlines their protective mechanisms and delivery challenges, highlighting recent oral delivery advances and future ...

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...
