Mitochondrial Quality Control: Mechanisms of Biogenesis, Dynamics, and Degradation

Mitochondrial biogenesis Mitochondrial quality control (MQC) is a comprehensive network that monitors mitochondrial quality and serves as an endogenous protective program, which is crucial for maintaining mitochondrial homeostasis and function[1]. MQC coordinates various processes, such as biogenesis, mitochondrial fission, fusion, mitochondrial protein degradation, and mitophagy, to collectively regulate and maintain mitochondrial homeostasis[2]. Typically, after a […]

PANoptosis: A Novel Inflammatory PCD Pathway !

Inflammatory PCD Pathway: PANoptosis PANoptosis is an inflammatory PCD pathway activated by specific triggers and regulated by the PANoptosome complex, which integrates key features of pyroptosis, apoptosis, and/or necroptosis. This is also the source of the “P,” “A,” and “N” in the term PANoptosis, but it cannot be solely represented by any one of these […]

National Natural Science Foundation Hotspot! What is Autophagy?

Autophagy Autophagy is a fundamental process that degrades various components within the cell. Autophagy can be non-selective, where cytoplasmic materials are sequestered into autophagosomes for engulfment, typically occurring during nutrient deprivation. In contrast, selective autophagy degrades specific targets, such as damaged organelles: mitophagy, lysophagy, and ER-phagy, playing a crucial role in cellular quality control (Fig. […]

Can the 16:8 Intermittent Fasting Method Help You Lose Weight ?

1. The Science Behind [16+8]: Intermittent Fasting First, the conclusion: It is feasible! The 16+8 weight loss method involves eating all three meals within an 8-hour window, followed by 16 hours of only water consumption, with no food intake. As early as 2022, Humaira Jamshed and colleagues published a randomized clinical trial in JAMA Internal […]

An Immune-Based Memory Mechanism: The Memory Circuit “Created” by TLR9 Inflammatory Signals and DNA Damage!

1. “Brain Inflammation” and DNA Damage: The Surprising Keys to Long-Term Memory When you hear “inflammation” and “DNA damage,” you might immediately think of disease or injury. However, in brains, these two processes are key steps in forming long-term memories, particularly related to specialized cells in our brain called hippocampal neurons. These neurons act like […]

Clazosentan

Description:Clazosentan (Ro 61–1790) is a selective endothelin A (ETA) receptor antagonist. Clazosentan inhibits ET-1-mediated vasoconstriction. Clazosentan prevents cerebral vasospasm, vasospasm-related cerebral infarction[1][5]. In Vitro:Clazosentan (0.1 μM) inhibits the ETA receptor in cerebral arteries[3]. Clazosentan is a substrate of the organic anion-transporting polypeptide (OATP) 1B1/1B3[5]. MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the accuracy of these methods. They are for […]

Nemonoxacin

Description:Nemonoxacin (TG-873870) is an orally active and potent broad-spectrum antibiotic. Nemonoxacin shows good inhibitory activity against different species of staphylococci, streptococci, and enterococci, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Haemophilus influenza. Nemonoxacin can be used in the study of bacterial infections and community-acquired pneumonia[1][2][3]. IC50 & Target:Bacterial[1][2][3]. In Vitro:Nemonoxacin (0–5.51 µM; 24 h) shows good antibacterial activity in vitro[1]. MedChemExpress (MCE) has not independently confirmed the […]

GJ103 and Lamin B1 Antibody: How to Conduct Chronic Kidney Disease Research?

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) poses a significant global health issue, leading to the progressive loss of kidney function. Renal fibrosis commonly accompanies CKD, characterized by excessive deposition of extracellular matrix (ECM). This process causes tissue remodeling and scarring in the renal parenchyma. Myofibroblasts drive renal fibrosis through their proliferation and activation. 1. Role of Meis1 in CKD […]
