Metal–organic framework nanoparticles (MOF NPs) have received much attention for their potential use in nanopesticides. However, little is known about the health and environmental risks associated with these materials. In this study, toxicological responses of zebrafish exposed to five MOF NPs short long periods time were evaluated. The acute toxicity results showed that embryos adult was order Cu-MOF > ZIF-90 ZIF-8 Fe-MOF Zr-MOF. Histopathological analysis revealed ZIF-8, ZIF-90, caused liver swelling vacuolization zebrafish. cellular ultrastructure severely damaged mitochondrial structure intestinal epithelial cells cells. 16S rDNA sequencing data all significantly altered dominant microorganisms intestine. microbial markers inflammation, Proteobacteria (Aeromonas, Plesiomonas, Legionella), increased Fe-MOF, Zr-MOF, treatment groups.

Abstract Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) are the primary drivers of growing public health epidemic and leading cause premature mortality economic burden worldwide. With decades research, CVDs have been proven to be associated with dysregulation inflammatory response, macrophages playing imperative roles in influencing prognosis CVDs. Autophagy is a conserved pathway that maintains cellular functions. Emerging evidence has revealed an intrinsic connection between autophagy macrophage This review focuses on role underlying mechanisms autophagy‐mediated regulation plasticity polarization, inflammasome activation, cytokine secretion, metabolism, phagocytosis, number macrophages.

Cardiac fibrosis is a major and complex pathophysiological process that ultimately culminates in cardiac dysfunction heart failure. This phenomenon includes not only the replacement of damaged tissue by fibrotic scar produced activated fibroblasts/myofibroblasts but also spatiotemporal alteration structural, biochemical, biomechanical parameters ventricular wall, eliciting reactive remodeling process. Though mechanical stress, post-infarct homeostatic imbalances, neurohormonal activation are classically attributed to fibrosis, emerging evidence supports roles immune system modulation, inflammation, metabolic dysregulation initiation progression fibrogenesis has been reported. Adaptive changes, cell phenoconversions, shifts nonmyocyte population provide initial protection, persistent altered demand eventually contributes adverse heart. Altered energy metabolism, mitochondrial dysfunction, various cells, mediators, cross-talks between cells cardiomyocytes play crucial orchestrating transdifferentiation fibroblasts ensuing Manipulation plasticity, fibroblast–myofibroblast transition, modulation response may hold promise for favorably modulating following different cardiovascular pathological processes.

Abstract Lubricin, secreted primarily by chondrocytes, plays a critical role in maintaining the function of cartilage lubrication system. However, both external factors such as friction and internal like oxidative stress can disrupt this system, leading to osteoarthritis. Inspired lubricin, lubricating nanozyme, that is, Poly‐2‐acrylamide‐2‐methylpropanesulfonic acid sodium salt‐grafted aminofullerene, is developed restore system using an “In‐Out” strategy. The “Out” aspect involves reducing through combination hydration ball‐bearing lubrication. Simultaneously, “In” aims mitigate free radical, increasing autophagy, improving mitochondrial respiratory chain. This results reduced chondrocyte senescence increased lubricin production, enhancing natural ability cartilage. Transcriptome sequencing Western blot demonstrate it enhances functionality chain complexes I, III, V, thereby chondrocytes. In vitro vivo experiments show nanozymes reduce wear, improve senescence, damage, mitigating progression These findings provide novel insights into treating diseases associated with frictional osteoarthritis, set stage for future research development therapeutic interventions.

The intimate correlation between cardiovascular diseases and other organ pathologies, such as metabolic kidney diseases, underscores the intricate interactions among these organs. Understanding inter-organ communications is crucial for developing more precise drugs effective treatments systemic diseases. While animal models have traditionally been pivotal in studying interactions, human-induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs) offer distinct advantages when constructing vitro models. Beyond conventional two-dimensional co-culture model, hiPSC-derived humanoid organoids emerged a substantial advancement, capable of replicating essential structural functional attributes internal organs vitro. This breakthrough has spurred development multilineage organoids, assembloids, organoids-on-a-chip technologies, which allow enhanced physiological relevance. These technologies shown great potential mimicking coordinated organogenesis, exploring disease pathogenesis, facilitating drug discovery.

Cardiovascular diseases are major causes of morbidity and death worldwide, most cardiac deaths related to ischemic injury the myocardium (myocardial infarction). As underlined in current clinical definition classification myocardial infarctions, not all injuries due ischemia: irreversible injury, ending necrosis, can be induced also by various other factors, such as infections, immune disorders, physical chemical agents, trauma. This is supported studies showing that elevated serum levels troponins, a measure damage, common finding non-ischemic types injury. Forensic pathologists confronted with autopsy findings suggestive should therefore realize both forms observed, only natural but non-natural (intoxications, asphyxia, traumatic iatrogenic deaths, others). Distinguishing these different underlying or circumstances critical, determine cause mechanism death, help investigate often challenging medico-legal scenarios. article reviews broad spectrum violent deaths. From this perspective we propose diagnostic approach forensic pathology context.
