Environmental Exposures and Epigenetic Remodeling in Supraventricular Tachycardias: What Atrial Fibrillation Can and Cannot Tell Us

Supraventricular tachycardias (SVTs), including atrial fibrillation (AF), atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT), atrioventricular re-entrant tachycardia (AVRT), and focal atrial tachycardias, can possibly arise from the interaction of genetic predisposition and environmental exposures.

Targeted Intracellular Metal Modulation Attenuates Oxidative Stress and Preserves Retinal Integrity and Function in a Zebrafish Model of Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Age-Related Retinal Degeneration

Retinal degeneration is associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, oxidative stress, and disruption of metal homeostasis within the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE).

HMGB1 Post-Translational Modifications in Epstein-Barr Virus-Associated Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma: Current Evidence, Emerging Mechanistic Concepts, and Unresolved Questions

Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a geographically distinct malignancy closely associated with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and characterized by extensive epigenetic reprogramming within a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME).

Molecular Signaling Pathways, Regulatory and Coactivator Networks, and Emerging Mechanisms in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver malignancy and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. Despite advances in diagnosis and therapy, the prognosis for advanced HCC remains poor due to late-stage diagnosis, high recurrence rates, therapeutic resistance, and pronounced molecular heterogeneity.

Bridging BET bromodomain and immune checkpoint inhibitors through generative bioorganic frameworks for next-generation cancer immunotherapy

Bromodomain and extraterminal domain (BET) proteins are epigenetic readers that couple chromatin acetylation to oncogenic and immune-regulatory gene transcription, making them attractive targets for combination with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in precision oncology.

Epigenetic mechanisms in traumatic brain injury: a focus on astrocytes and therapeutic implications

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) triggers complex molecular and cellular responses that persist well beyond the initial injury. Neuroinflammation is a prominent feature of the post-injury response and a significant contributor to progressive neuronal dysfunction and increased risk of chronic neurodegeneration.

Aging as Loss of Biological Self-Correction: A Geroscience Framework for Longevity, Inflammaging, and Restored Resilience

Longevity science has shifted from the pursuit of lifespan extension toward preservation of healthspan, resilience, and functional independence. The hallmarks of aging provide a powerful descriptive structure, but they do not by themselves specify how diverse molecular defects translate into loss of adaptive function.

Selective MicroRNA Dysregulation in IPF-Derived Mesenchymal Stromal Cells Suggests Restricted Regulatory Remodeling

The schematic workflow illustrates next-generation sequencing of lung-derived mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) from IPF patients and controls. Rather than broad epigenetic reprogramming, IPF-MSCs exhibit a remarkably restricted down-regulation of only three critical microRNAs: hsa-miR-373-3p, hsa-miR-486-5p, and hsa-miR-449a.

The telomere-to-telomere gap-free reference genome and DNA methylome unveil epigenetic regulation of proanthocyanidin biosynthesis during apricot fruit development

Apricot (Prunus armeniaca L.) is an economically significant fruit crop worldwide with remarkable germplasm diversity, and its fruit quality is primarily determined by key metabolites (e.g., sugars, organic acids, and flavonoids).

Placental dysfunction drives fetal growth restriction: mechanisms and translational perspectives

Fetal growth restriction (FGR) is a major obstetric complication characterized by the inability of the fetus to reach its genetic growth potential, most commonly due to placental insufficiency. It contributes substantially to perinatal morbidity, stillbirth, and long-term cardiometabolic disease.

Mechanistic Pathways of Wound Healing: From Hemostasis to Scar-Free Regeneration

Wound healing is the critical process regulated through a harmonious coordination of cellular, molecular, pathological, and systemic communications. Normally, healing occurs in four overlapping phases, which are modified and controlled by various growth factor interactions and signaling pathways.

Maternal high-fat diet and risk of cardiovascular disease in offspring: a review of mechanisms, controversies, and interventions

A high-fat diet (HFD) is a well-established risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD). Accumulating evidence indicates that maternal nutritional status before and during pregnancy critically influences long-term cardiovascular outcomes in offspring.
