ABSTRACT Ultraviolet B (UVB) radiation is a major risk factor for cataract development, but the molecular mechanisms underlying this process, particularly the involvement of regulated cell death pathways such as ferroptosis, remain unclear. Transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic analyses were performed on lens tissues from UVB‐induced cataract rat ...

The Regulatory Role and Mechanism of Myoferlin in Mitophagy During Papillary Thyroid Carcinogenesis
ABSTRACT Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent subtype of thyroid cancer; however, the regulatory mechanisms by which mitophagy influences its progression remain inadequately elucidated. This study sought to examine the role of myoferlin (MYOF) in mitophagy and its molecular basis during PTC development. Utilizing three paired PTC and

Melatonin Promotes Improvement in Serum Lipid Levels and Liver Histopathology in Hyperlipidemic Rats
ABSTRACT Hyperlipidemia or dyslipidemia is the term used for the increase in lipid levels in blood plasma, usually occurring due to a high‐fat diet associated with a sedentary lifestyle. The increase in lipid levels can cause fatty infiltration in the liver known as hepatic steatosis, which can lead to inflammation, fibrosis, and necrosis consecutively.

Functional analysis of the vacuole in Candida albicans
The fungal vacuole is an acidic membrane bound compartment, containing a range of hydrolytic enzymes. Its functions include recycling of cellular proteins through degradation, storage of cellular metabolites, and homeostasis of the cytoplasmic ...

Plasmepsins as Antimalarial Drug Targets—Then, Now, and the Future
ABSTRACT Malaria is a devastating disease caused by Plasmodium parasites. Plasmodium parasites express ten cathepsin D‐like aspartyl proteases, called plasmepsins (PMs). These PMs have diverse roles fulfill diverse functions throughout the parasite's lifecycle, though several exhibit functional redundancies. Among them, PMV, PMIV, and PMX are essential

ABSTRACT The flail limb syndrome is primarily a lower motor neuron disorder that initially affects proximal arm muscles (flail arm syndrome—FAS) or distal leg muscles (flail leg syndrome—FLS). Both were recognized early on (1886 for FAS and 1918 for FLS) as somewhat distinct from classic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
