Implication of ferroptosis in aging

Maryam Mazhar et al.

Summary: Life is constantly undergoing the irreversible process of aging, influenced by factors like environmental stimuli, stress, and chronic diseases. These factors lead to oxidative stress-induced inflammation and various forms of cell death, including the recently identified mechanism of iron-dependent regulated cell death called ferroptosis, which may play a role in the pathogenesis of several diseases.

BNIP3L-mediated mitophagy is required for mitochondrial remodeling during the differentiation of optic nerve oligodendrocytes

Meysam Yazdankhah et al.

Summary: The differentiation of oligodendrocyte lineage cells involves autophagy and mitochondrial dynamics, with BNIP3L playing a crucial role in the regulation of mitochondrial function and cell viability. Targeting BNIP3L-mediated mitophagy could be a novel therapeutic approach for promoting myelin repair in optic nerve demyelinating diseases.

Lipocalin-2: Structure, function, distribution and role in metabolic disorders

Saeeda Al Jaberi et al.

Summary: Lipocalin-2 (LCN-2) is a circulating protein responsible for transporting small molecules to target organs, and has been used as a biomarker for renal injury. It has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and cell protection functions, and is associated with metabolic disorders such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. The precise role of LCN-2 in metabolic pathways is still unclear.

βA1-crystallin regulates glucose metabolism and mitochondrial function in mouse retinal astrocytes by modulating PTP1B activity

Sayan Ghosh et al.

Summary: Ghosh et al. discovered that the lens protein beta A1-crystallin interacts with PTP1B, regulating the metabolism of retinal astrocytes. Knockdown of beta A1-crystallin exacerbates the streptozotocin-induced diabetic retinopathy-like phenotype in mice, indicating a potential target for treating diabetic retinopathy.
