Increased production and buildup of reactive oxygen species (ROS) can lead to various health issues, including metabolic problems, cancers, neurological conditions. Our bodies counteract ROS with biological antioxidants such as SOD, CAT, GPx, which help prevent cellular damage. However, if there is an imbalance between these antioxidants, it result in oxidative stress. This cause genetic epigenetic changes at the molecular level. review delves into how plays a role disorders caused by We also look animal models used for researching pathways. study offers insights mechanism, pathology, changes, assist drug development disease understanding.

Photodynamic therapy (PDT) depends on the light-irradiated exciting of photosensitizer (PS) to generate reactive oxygen species (ROS), which faces challenges and limitations in hypoxia antioxidant response cancer cells, limited tissue-penetration light. Herein, a multifunctional DNA/upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) complex is developed enables controlled co-delivery CRISPR-Cas9, hemin, protoporphyrin (PP) for synergistic PDT. An ultralong single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) prepared via rolling circle amplification (RCA), contains recognition sequences single guide RNA (sgRNA) loading Cas9 ribonucleoprotein (RNP), G-quadruplex hemin PP, linker combining UCNP. RNP cleaves regulator nuclear factor E2-related 2 (Nrf2), improving sensitivity cells ROS, enhancing PDT effect.

Resveratrol (RES), a natural polyphenolic compound, has garnered significant attention for its therapeutic potential in various pathological conditions. This review explores how RES modulates mitophagy-the selective autophagic degradation of mitochondria essential maintaining cellular homeostasis. promotes the initiation and execution mitophagy by enhancing PINK1/Parkin-mediated mitochondrial clearance, reducing reactive oxygen species production, mitigating apoptosis, thereby preserving integrity. Additionally, regulates through activation key molecular targets such as AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), mechanistic target rapamycin (mTOR), deacetylases (SIRT1 SIRT3), quality control (MQC) pathways, demonstrating substantial effects multiple disease models. We provide detailed account biosynthetic pharmacokinetics, metabolic characteristics RES, focusing on role modulation implications medical applications. Potential adverse associated with clinical use are also discussed. Despite promising properties, application is limited issues bioavailability pharmacokinetic profiles. Future research should concentrate developing derivatives that precisely modulate mitophagy, unlocking new avenues therapy.

Maintenance of mitochondrial health is essential for neuronal survival and relies upon dynamic changes in the network effective quality control mechanisms including mitochondrial-derived vesicle pathway mitophagy. Mitochondrial dysfunction has been implicated driving pathology several neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson's disease (PD) where dopaminergic neurons substantia nigra are selectively degenerated. In addition, many genes with PD-associated mutations have defined functions organelle control, indicating that dysregulation may represent a key element pathology. The most well-characterized aspect PD relates to alpha-synuclein; an aggregation-prone protein forms intracellular Lewy-body inclusions.

The precise control of the artificially induced reactions inside living cells is emerging as an effective strategy for regulation cell functions. Nevertheless, manipulation assembly exogenous molecules into artificial architectures in response to intracellular-specific signals remains a grand challenge. Herein, we achieve self-assembly deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) network cancer cells, specifically responding telomerase, and realize mitochondrial interference consequent cellular behaviors. Two functional DNA modules were designed: mitochondria-targeting branched telomerase-responsive linear DNA. Upon uptake by telomerase primer responded strand displacement reaction was triggered reverse transcription thus releasing linker from afterward hybridized with form on mitochondria. interfered function mitochondria, realizing apoptosis cells.
