Summary: The anthocyanin cyanidin-3-O-glucoside (Cy3G) has the potential to prevent diabetes and its vascular complications by restoring impaired nitric oxide-mediated endothelial insulin transport and improving metabolic insulin resistance. This finding offers a novel explanation for the anti-diabetic effects of Cy3G.

Summary: This study investigates the relationship between atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), inflammation markers, and circulating endothelial progenitor cells. The findings suggest that ASCVD impairs the colony forming capacity and angiogenic properties of endothelial colony forming cells (ECFC) in a severity-dependent manner. Additionally, alteration of ECFC is associated with increased senescent phenotype and IL-6 levels.

Summary: Endothelial TAZ is involved in the production of nitric oxide (NO) and inhibits damage-induced liver fibrosis. It regulates NO production by transcriptional regulation of Nos3. Loss of TAZ leads to capillarization of liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and a decrease in NO concentration, accelerating liver fibrosis.

Summary: Endothelial dysfunction (ED), secondary to reduced nitric oxide (NO) production and oxidative stress, is an early marker of atherosclerosis. Elderberry extract (EB) with high anthocyanin content has vascular protective effects and can prevent monocyte adhesion and inflammatory response. EB upregulates key markers of endothelial function and ameliorates ED, suggesting its potential use in preventing atherosclerosis progression.

Summary: Doublecortin-like kinase 1 (DCLK1) is a significant prooncogenic factor that is strongly associated with the malignant progression and clinical prognosis of various cancers. DCLK1 plays important roles in stem cell marker regulation, tumor cell reprogramming, and immune evasion. However, the exact biological functions of DCLK1, especially the disparities between its alpha- and beta-form transcripts in cancer progression, remain ambiguous.

Summary: This article reviews the role of bile acids in necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and their potential therapeutic value. The dysregulation of bile acids is associated with intestinal injury, and inflammatory factors in the liver also play a crucial role in regulating bile acid transport. The bile acid metabolic pathway is important for regulating intestinal microbiota, cell proliferation, and barrier protection.

Summary: Gastric cancer is the fifth-most prevalent and second-most deadly cancer worldwide. Late onset of symptoms makes early detection important. CXC chemokines play an important role in the pathological process of gastric cancer, but their exact role in diagnosis and prognosis is not fully understood. Inhibiting CXC chemokines shows promise as a targeted therapy.
