Background and Purpose Hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH) is a chronic disorder marked by irreversible pulmonary vascular remodelling (PVR) and pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell (PASMC) dysfunction. Astragaloside IV (AS‐IV), a natural saponin from Astragalus, shows potential in HPH management. This study explores AS‐IV's protective effect on PVR in

ABSTRACT Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) can contribute to lower back and neck pain. In IDD, the most affected component of the intervertebral disc is the nucleus pulposus (NP). Derived from the notochord, where cells are organized into a tandem configuration, young NP cells cluster in three‐dimensional (3D) networks embedded in a gelatinous ...

Citrullination in Tumor Metastasis, Inside and Outside the Cells
ABSTRACT Tumor metastasis remains a poor prognosis because it occurs in all tissues and is difficult to diagnose or prevent before metastatic tumor nodules form. Metastasis is a multi‐step process involving tumor cells, bone marrow‐derived cells, and tissue resident cells, making it a biological three‐body problem.

EC‐EXOs could regulate the differentiation of BMSCs through the key protein THBS3, which inhibits their differentiation to lipogenic cells and promotes their differentiation to osteoblasts. THBS3 could down‐regulate the expression of its downstream target CD47 and delay the process of bone loss in aged mice and OVX mice, which may provide a novel ...

YKT6 Is Essential for Male Fertility by Promoting Meiosis Progression During Spermatogenesis of Mice
Specifically ablating Ykt6 in pre‐meiotic germ cells and meiotic spermatocytes leads to complete sterility and meiotic arrest in conditional knockout male mice. YTK6 is required for stabilising intercellular bridges between spermatocytes due to its key role in maintaining protein homeostasis and vesicular transport‐dependent functions in spermatocytes,
