Blocking acid-sensing ion channel 1a attenuates bilirubin-induced ototoxicity in cochlear organotypic culture
May 2026
Neonatal hyperbilirubinemia leads to neural dysfunction, including sensorineural hearing loss. Our previous studies demonstrated that elevated bilirubin induced apoptotic pathway activation and led...
Melatonin ameliorates inflammation-induced mitochondrial dysfunction and cementoblastic differentiation in cells by regulating the METTL3/LINC01444/HSPD1 axis
May 2026
Inflammation-induced mitochondrial dysfunction functionally impairs periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) and hinders their therapeutic efficacy in periodontal regeneration. Melatonin, a mitochondrion-targeted...
Crosstalk between bone and vasculature within bone
May 2026
Bone is a highly vascularized connective tissue, and its physiological and pathological processes are closely linked to the vascular system. The vasculature system should include the blood vessel system...
