Effects of microenvironmental factors on assessing nanoparticle toxicity

Suyeong Seo et al.

Summary: Nanoparticles are considered hazardous to human organs, and there is a growing interest in understanding their biological mechanisms and evaluating cellular responses. Conventional in vitro evaluation of nanomaterial toxicity using 2D-based static models often leads to over- or underestimation of cytotoxicity, as it overlooks physiological microenvironmental factors.

Association of short-term particulate matter exposure with suicide death among major depressive disorder patients: a time-stratified case-crossover analysis

In Young Hwang et al.

Summary: There is a growing body of evidence suggesting an association between particulate matter (PM) and suicide, particularly among patients with major depressive disorder (MDD) who are exposed to high levels of PM2.5, PM2.5-10, and PM10. Short-term exposure to high levels of PM is associated with an elevated risk of suicide among MDD patients. This finding is crucial for informing the development of air pollution alarm systems aimed at reducing adverse health outcomes associated with PM exposure.

The pathogenic effects of particulate matter on neurodegeneration: a review

Ran You et al.

Summary: The increasing amount of particulate matter (PM) in the ambient air is associated with a higher risk of neurodegenerative diseases. Studies have shown that PM-induced neurotoxicity, neuroinflammation, oxidative stress, and damage in blood-brain barrier and neurovascular units contribute to the development of neurodegenerative diseases.

Astaxanthin inhibits microglia M1 activation against inflammatory injury triggered by lipopolysaccharide through down-regulating miR-31-5p

Xin Zhou et al.

Summary: The study demonstrated that Astaxanthin can inhibit microglia M1 activation by regulating the interaction between miR-31-5p and Numb. Astaxanthin's modulation of pro-inflammatory factors and the Notch pathway can be reversed by miR-31-5p mimic.

Effects of ambient particulate matter on a reconstructed human corneal epithelium model

Ryota Ko et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the effects of ambient particulate matter (PM) on the corneal epithelium using a reconstructed human corneal epithelium (HCE) model. It found that exposure to larger PM size and higher UA concentrations led to decreased cell viability and reduced expression of ZO-1, indicating a potential negative impact of environmental PM on ocular surface cell viability and inflammation.

An engineered neurovascular unit for modeling neuroinflammation

Suyeong Seo et al.

Summary: The neurovascular unit (NVU) is composed of various types of brain cells that play important roles in maintaining the molecular transport barrier and brain tissue homeostasis. Dysfunction of the NVU has been associated with several disorders of the central nervous system, highlighting the importance of developing in vitro models for studying and understanding NVU-related mechanisms.
