TLR9: A friend or a foe

Mona M. Saber, Nada Monir, Azza S. Awad, Marwa E. Elsherbiny, Hala F. Zaki

Summary: The innate immune system uses Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) to provide protection, but the interaction between mtDNA and TLR9 can lead to inflammation and autoimmune disorders in pathological conditions. The role of TLR9 in different diseases is controversial and further research is needed to develop therapeutic strategies.

Fosl1: friend or foe?

Shruti Bhargava, Joachim Jankowski

Summary: Fosl1, a member of the Fos family, plays a role in carcinogenesis, acute kidney injury, and fibroblast growth factor expression. It has been recently found to have a nephroprotective effect through the preservation of Klotho expression. The identification of a link between Fosl1 and Klotho expression opens up a new field of nephroprotection.

Neuronal Mitophagy: Friend or Foe?

Christina Doxaki, Konstantinos Palikaras

Summary: Disruption of mitochondrial homeostasis in neurons, particularly through impaired mitophagy, can lead to neurodegenerative disorders, while excessive mitophagy may reduce mitochondrial content and ultimately trigger neuronal cell death.

Post-stroke Neurogenesis: Friend or Foe?

Maria Isabel Cuartero, Alicia Garcia-Culebras, Cristina Torres-Lopez, Violeta Medina, Enrique Fraga, Sandra Vazquez-Reyes, Tania Jareno-Flores, Juan M. Garcia-Segura, Ignacio Lizasoain, Maria angeles Moro

Summary: After stroke injury, there is ongoing neurogenesis in the adult mammalian brain which can contribute to recovery. However, the neurogenic response may lead to different functional consequences, suggesting a complex interplay between physiological and pathological regulation. More in-depth understanding is needed on the key cell types, cell-cell interactions, and molecular pathways involved in neurogenic response after brain damage.

Inflammation and Nutrition: Friend or Foe?

Franziska Stumpf, Bettina Keller, Carla Gressies, Philipp Schuetz

Summary: The interplay between inflammation and nutrition has attracted significant attention recently. Inflammation has been identified as a critical factor in disease-related malnutrition, leading to anorexia, reduced food intake, muscle catabolism, and insulin resistance. Inflammation also affects the response to nutritional treatment, with patients with high inflammation showing no response and patients with lower inflammation levels showing a response. This may explain the conflicting results of nutritional trials.

Autophagy: A Friend or Foe in Allergic Asthma?

Efthymia Theofani, Georgina Xanthou

Summary: Autophagy is a crucial self-degradative process in cells that plays a key role in cellular renovation, physiology, and homeostasis. It can be triggered by factors such as starvation, pathogens, and stress, and is important in immune response regulation. Dysregulation of autophagy processes, either impaired or overactive, can contribute to the pathogenesis of various diseases, including infections and cancer.

Extracellular vesicles and COPD: foe or friend?

Jiankang Wu, Yiming Ma, Yan Chen

Summary: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a chronic inflammatory airway disease characterized by progressive airflow limitation. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) play an important role in the pathogenesis of COPD and can serve as diagnostic markers and a potential therapy for the disease. EVs are released by various cell types and carry bioactive substances that enable communication between cells and affect the physiological and pathological functions of the body.

ARID1A in cancer: Friend or foe?

Beatrice Fontana, Giulia Gallerani, Irene Salamon, Ilaria Pace, Roberta Roncarati, Manuela Ferracin

Summary: ARID1A is a chromatin regulatory protein that plays a role in maintaining accessibility at promoters and enhancers to regulate gene expression. It is frequently altered in various human cancers and can act as a tumor suppressor or oncogene depending on the tumor type and context. ARID1A mutations are observed in approximately 10% of tumors, including endometrial, bladder, gastric, liver, biliopancreatic cancer, some ovarian cancer subtypes, and aggressive cancers of unknown primary. Its loss is generally associated with disease progression and worse prognostic features. However, the association of ARID1A genetic alterations with patient prognosis is controversial. Nevertheless, ARID1A loss of function can be targeted with inhibitory drugs based on synthetic lethality mechanisms.

Neighbourhood-related socioeconomic perinatal health inequalities: An illustration of the mediational g-formula and considerations for the big data context

Lizbeth Burgos Ochoa, Lindsey van Der Meer, Adja J. M. Waelput, Jasper V. Been, Loes C. M. Bertens

Summary: This study examined the relationship between neighborhood socioeconomic status and small for gestational age (SGA) through the use of the mediational g-formula. It found that improving neighborhood socioeconomic status could significantly reduce the proportion of SGA, with a portion of the effect being mediated by the neighborhood social environment. This research provides valuable insights for policy development and public health interventions.

Does Neighborhood Crime Mediate the Relationship Between Neighborhood Socioeconomic Status and Birth Outcomes? An Application of the Mediational G-Formula

Lizbeth Burgos Ochoa, Maarten J. Bijlsma, Eric A. P. Steegers, Jasper Been, Loes C. M. Bertens

Summary: The link between living in a low-socioeconomic status neighborhood and adverse birth outcomes is well established, but the underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. This study used data on singleton births in the Netherlands from 2010 to 2017 to evaluate the role of neighborhood crime as a potential mediator. The results showed that neighborhood crime mediated a significant portion of the relationship between neighborhood SES and birth outcomes, particularly in the case of crimes against property and public order.

Diagnostic Accuracy of Portable, Handheld Point-of-Care Tests vs Laboratory-Based Bilirubin Quantification in Neonates A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Lauren E. H. Westenberg, Jasper V. Been, Sten P. Willemsen, Jolande Y. Vis, Andrei N. Tintu, Wichor M. Bramer, Peter H. Dijk, Eric A. P. Steegers, Irwin K. M. Reiss, Christian V. Hulzebos

Summary: Importance quantification of bilirubin in blood is crucial for early diagnosis and timely treatment of neonatal hyperbilirubinemia. Handheld point-of-care devices can address the current issues with conventional laboratory-based bilirubin quantification. The evaluation of diagnostic accuracy shows that point-of-care devices have faster turnaround time and require less blood volume compared to laboratory-based quantification, but the precision of measurement needs improvement.

Summary: An analysis of 52 million births in 26 countries suggests that there were slight reductions in preterm birth rates during the first to third months of lockdown. However, further research is needed to understand the causal pathways. Preterm birth is a significant cause of infant mortality globally. The study also found variations in stillbirth rates across different countries. The findings highlight the importance of studying the effects of lockdown measures on birth outcomes.
