Moderate-term dimethyl fumarate treatment reduces pathology of dystrophic skeletal and cardiac muscle in a mouse model

This study shows that moderate-term dimethyl fumarate treatment reduces dystrophic muscle pathology in a mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy, with anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anti-lipogenic effects.

A Novel Role of Hyaluronan and its Membrane Receptors, CD44 and RHAMM in Obesity-Related Glomerulopathy

This study identifies HA and its receptors CD44/RHAMM as key drivers of obesity-related glomerulopathy, showing their role in renal inflammation, fibrosis, and dysfunction, and suggests they as therapeutic targets.

Host-pathogen Coadaptation by running with PAR protein

The paper shows PAR-5 mediates host-pathogen co-evolution in C. elegans by enhancing embryo development and reducing pathogen virulence, while pathogens exploit PAR-5 to evade immunity.

Peptidoglycan-Chi3l1 interaction shapes gut microbiota in intestinal mucus layer

This study identifies Chi3l1 as a host protein that interacts with bacterial peptidoglycan in the gut mucus to regulate microbiota composition and prevent colitis.

Bacterial Peptidoglycan as a Food Digestive Signal in the Nematode that Facilitates Adaptation of Animals in Nature

The paper identifies bacterial peptidoglycan as a food signal in C. elegans that activates digestion by inhibiting UPRmt through interaction with BCF-1.

Full-mouth photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging of the periodontal pocket with a compact intraoral transducer

This paper introduces a compact intraoral transducer for full-mouth photoacoustic/ultrasound imaging of periodontal pockets, demonstrating its clinical relevance with in vivo imaging accuracy within 7% of clinical measurements.

A miniaturized ultrasound transducer for monitoring full-mouth oral health: a preliminary study

This study develops a miniaturized ultrasound transducer for full-mouth oral health monitoring, demonstrating high-resolution imaging and accurate gingival thickness measurement.

BREVIPEDICELLUS and ERECTA mediate expression of AtPRX17 in preventing Arabidopsis callus retardation and browning

This study identifies BREVIPEDICELLUS and ERECTA pathways that prevent Arabidopsis callus browning by regulating AtPRX17 expression.
