评论了 Past, present and future of living systematic review: a bibliometrics analysis
Very useful article published in BMJ Global Health. The study provides a comprehensive review of Living Systematic Reviews (LSRs) up to October 2021 using bibliometrics. LSRs have gained significant attention, with a growing number of studies conducted since 2020, especially in Europe, North America, and Australia. COVID-19 is the predominant focus of LSRs, and potential future research directions include rehabilitation of COVID-19 patients and virological studies.

评论了 3D two-photon polymerization of smart cell gelatin – collagen matrixes with incorporated ruthenium complexes for the monitoring of local oxygen tensions
Researchers developed stable gelatin-collagen matrices using two-photon polymerization with incorporated ruthenium complexes as photo-activators. These matrices allowed continuous monitoring of local oxygen levels (pO2) at the pericellular level in 3D cell cultures. The study demonstrated the potential for analyzing cancer cell metabolic adaptations and migration in a more in vivo-like microenvironment, offering new therapeutic insights and drug screening platforms.

评论了 Kinesin-1 autoinhibition facilitates the initiation of dynein cargo transport
Published in JCB, the study demonstrated the functional significance of Kinesin-1 autoinhibition in dynein-mediated early endosome transport. Kinesin-1 autoinhibition facilitates dynein to initiate early endosome transport, independently of direct competition between dynein and kinesin-1, and is related to cargo adapter-mediated dynein activation beyond the switching of dynein from its autoinhibited conformation.

评论了 Structure of dynein–dynactin on microtubules shows tandem adaptor binding
This study explores the activation of cytoplasmic dynein by its cofactors, dynactin, and coiled-coil cargo adaptors. The researchers used a cryo-electron microscopy processing pipeline to determine the high-resolution structure of dynein-dynactin and the adaptor BICDR1 bound to microtubules, revealing the asymmetric interactions between dynein motor domains and their implications for motor recruitment by cargos in terms of stability and stoichiometry.

评论了 Serotonin drives the activation of pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts and TGF-β1/Smad3-mediated fibrotic responses through 5-HT2A receptors
This paper highlights the significant role of serotonin (5-HT) in the development of pulmonary arterial remodeling, a crucial process in pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). By directly stimulating pulmonary artery adventitial fibroblasts (PAFs) through the 5-HT2A receptor, 5-HT induces excessive proliferation, migration, and fibrotic activation of PAFs, leading to phenotypic alterations and adventitia fibrosis.
