Acupuncture modulates ovarian senescence through metabolic reprogramming: A multi-omics investigation in chemotherapy - induced POF model

6 months 4 weeks ago
Premature ovarian failure (POF) is a common female endocrine disorder in women, and there is currently no effective pharmacological treatment available. Acupuncture, an important component of traditional Chinese medicine, has demonstrated clinical efficacy in improving ovarian function in patients with POF; however, its underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study systematically investigated the therapeutic mechanisms of acupuncture in cyclophosphamide (CTX)-induced POF through combined...

Endothelial sensitivity to pro-fibrotic signals links systemic exposure to pulmonary fibrosis

6 months 4 weeks ago
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a life-threatening condition characterised by excessive extracellular matrix deposition and tissue scarring. While much of PF research has focused on alveolar epithelial cells and fibroblasts, endothelial cells have emerged as active contributors to the disease initiation, especially in the context of systemic exposure to pro-fibrotic substances. Here, we investigate early transcriptomic and secretory responses of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) to...
