PURPOSE: This review explores modern therapeutic options for the dry form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a condition representing one of the most significant challenges in ophthalmology due to its progressive nature and lack of effective…
INTRODUCTION: Intravitreal injections remain the standard for treating common retinal diseases including age-related macular degeneration (AMD), diabetic macular edema (DME) and diabetic retinopathy. However, frequent administration creates significa…
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this research was to investigate if the mitochondria- targeting peptide SS-31 could serve as a protective measure against bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in mice. METHOD: Mice were split into four groups named CON group, SS…
Sepsis continues to be a significant global health issue, with current treatments primarily focused on antibiotics, fluid resuscitation, vasopressors, or steroids. Recent studies have started to explore mitochondrial transplantation as a potential tr…
Mitochondria are cellular hubs integral for metabolism, signaling, and survival. Mitochondrial dysfunction is centrally involved in the aging process and an expansive array of disease states. Elamipretide is a novel mitochondria-targeting peptide tha…
Oxidative stress is a defining and pervasive driver of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). As a molecular accelerant, reactive oxygen species (ROS) and rea…
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial-targeting anti-oxidant Szeto-Schiller 31 (SS-31) can ease lung injury in several diseases, but whether SS-31 can ameliorate acute lung injury (ALI) in neonatal acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is unclear. The objec…
This study investigated the role of mitochondrial function in aortic aging. As the aorta ages, it becomes stiffer and less compliant, increasing the risk of aneurysmal disease, hypertension, and diastolic dysfunction. Given the role of mitochondrial…
Dry eye disease (DED), a multifactorial ocular surface disorder characterized by tear film instability, is pathologically linked to oxidative damage. The accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) across ocular tissues not only directly damages nu…
INTRODUCTION: Barth syndrome is a mitochondrial disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in the TAFAZZIN gene located on chromosome Xq28 encoding a transacylase essential for cardiolipin remodeling. Most patients develop dilated cardiomyopathy an…
BACKGROUND: Although N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification and its reader protein YTHDF1 have been implicated in allergic airway inflammation, their roles in TDI-induced steroid-insensitive asthma remains unclear. β-catenin signaling is vital for air…
Cryopreservation of rooster sperm is a vital technique in avian reproductive management; however, it is often hindered by oxidative stress induced by reactive oxygen species (ROS) that negatively impact sperm quality during the freezing-thawing proce…
OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of downregulation of medium-chain acyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase (ACADM) on invasion and migration of estrogen receptor-positive breast cancer cells and the underlying mechanism. METHODS: The Kaplan-Meier Plotter…
Sepsis-associated encephalopathy (SAE) is a prevalent and significant neurological complication that arises following sepsis, for which there is currently no effective treatment. Environmental enrichment (EE) has been shown to exert a neuroprotective…
To investigate the role of endothelial glycocalyx (eGC) degradation in mediating the progression from systemic inflammation to neuroinflammation and cognitive impairment in aged rats, and to explore the protective effects of the mitochondrial-targete…
This study investigated the role of mitochondrial function in aortic aging. As the aorta ages, it becomes stiffer and less compliant, increasing the risk of aneurysmal disease, hypertension, and diastolic dysfunction. Given the role of mitochondrial…
BACKGROUND: Systemic muscle wasting is a prevalent condition that predicts adverse health outcomes in aging and disease. Despite its clinical relevance, the development of predictive biomarkers and effective pharmacological therapies remains limited.…
Diabetes mellitus (DM) disrupts cellular homeostasis and is characterized by mitochondrial structural and functional impairments similar to those found in other metabolic disorders. Mitochondrial dysfunction (MD) leads to the excessive production of…
Refractory heart failure (HF) remains a pressing clinical challenge despite substantial progress in pharmacologic and device-based interventions. While current therapies target neurohormonal, hemodynamic, and metabolic derangements, a crucial element…
Mitochondria are essential organelles within cells, and their dysfunction is associated with many neurodegenerative disorders. The protein CHCHD2, which is situated in the intermembrane space of mitochondria, plays a pivotal role in mitochondrial fun…
