Open AccessMSCs promote the efferocytosis of large peritoneal macrophages to eliminate ferroptotic monocytes/macrophages in the injured endometria
Endometria are one of the important components of the uterus, which is located in the peritoneal cavity. Endometrial injury usually leads to intrauterine adhesions (IUA), accompanied by inflammation and cell d...

Open AccessRole of protein degradation systems in colorectal cancer
Protein degradation is essential for maintaining protein homeostasis. The ubiquitin‒proteasome system (UPS) and autophagy–lysosome system are the two primary pathways responsible for protein degradation and di...

A prognostic marker LTBP1 is associated with epithelial mesenchymal transition and can promote the progression of gastric cancer
LTBP1 is closely related to TGF-β1 function as an essential component, which was unclear in gastric cancer (GC). Harbin Medical University (HMU)-GC cohort and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) dataset were combin...

Open AccessPatient-derived zebrafish xenografts of uveal melanoma reveal ferroptosis as a drug target
Uveal melanoma (UM) has a high risk to progress to metastatic disease with a median survival of 3.9 months after metastases detection, as metastatic UM responds poorly to conventional and targeted chemotherapy...

Open AccessSIRT4 is an independent prognostic factor in bladder cancer and inhibits bladder cancer growth by suppressing autophagy
Nucleosome-localized sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) was found to function as an oncogene and tumor suppressor gene in different tumors. However, the clinical significance of SIRT4 in bladder urothelial carcinoma (BLCA) has...

Bufalin alleviates acute kidney injury by regulating NLRP3 inflammasome-mediated pyroptosis
Recently, there has been an increasing clinical incidence of acute kidney injury (AKI), which rapidly declines renal function and leads to massive tubular cell necrosis. Pyroptosis is an inflammatory process o...

Open AccessThe CRTC-CREB axis functions as a transcriptional sensor to protect against proteotoxic stress in Drosophila
cAMP Responsible Element Binding Protein (CREB) is an evolutionarily conserved transcriptional factor that regulates cell growth, synaptic plasticity and so on. In this study, we unexpectedly found proteasome ...

Open AccessMitochondrial apolipoprotein A-I binding protein alleviates atherosclerosis by regulating mitophagy and macrophage polarization
Apolipoprotein A-I binding protein (AIBP), a secreted protein, has been shown to play a pivotal role in the development of atherosclerosis. The function of intracellular AIBP, however, is not yet well characte...

Open AccessAsparaginyl endopeptidase protects against podocyte injury in diabetic nephropathy through cleaving cofilin-1
Podocyte injury and loss are critical events in diabetic nephropathy (DN); however, the underlying molecular mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that asparaginyl endopeptidase (AEP) protects agains...
