p53 in senescence - it's a marathon not a sprint

Eleanor Sheekey et al.

Summary: The tumour suppressor p53 plays a central role in cellular senescence by regulating both senescence-associated stable proliferative arrest and the secretion of bioactive factors known as the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP). Senescence is associated with various physiological and pathological conditions, including ageing, cancer, and other age-related disorders. Cell functions are determined by the expression of lineage-specific genes, which are also influenced by p53. Additionally, p53 is tightly regulated at the protein level, and its activity is sustained and fine-tuned during senescence and other prolonged pathological conditions.

Abhishesh Kumar Mehata et al.

Summary: TPGS, a water-soluble version of vitamin E, has been widely used in drug delivery systems for 70 years. It has been approved for the formulation of four drugs in the US and Europe, and has shown potential in improving drug solubility, bioavailability, and preventing multidrug resistance. Clinical trials and applications in various diseases have been conducted based on TPGS.

Evaluating effects of burn injury characteristics on quality of life in pediatric burn patients and caregivers

Kelli N. Patterson et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the quality of life (QoL) of pediatric burn patients and caregivers, and identify clinical characteristics associated with psychological stress. The results showed that a substantial proportion of pediatric burn patients experience impacts on their QoL. Larger burn size and increased burn depth were found to cause more psychological stress in children, and caregivers may require more extensive psychological evaluation.

Severity of thermal burn injury is associated with systemic neutrophil activation

Maria Laggner et al.

Summary: Burn injuries elicit a unique stress response and can lead to burn injury progression. This study found that levels of neutrophil-derived factors were significantly elevated in burn victims, and leukocyte and neutrophil counts were increased while lymphocytes were decreased. These factors did not predict mortality, but were associated with higher burn severity scores in patients with third-degree burns.

Cell cycle regulation: p53-p21-RB signaling

Kurt Engeland

Summary: RB and p53 are central tumor suppressors that play key roles in regulating the cell division cycle. RB downregulates numerous genes by forming complexes with E2F transcription factors, and its repression is released through phosphorylation. p53 activates CDKN1A gene to regulate RB phosphorylation, leading to expression of cell cycle regulators. There is an overlap between RB and DREAM signaling pathways.

Cellular senescence: the good, the bad and the unknown

Weijun Huang et al.

Summary: Cellular senescence plays important roles in tissue remodeling, but excessive senescence may lead to cancer and age-related diseases. It involves cell-cycle arrest and the release of inflammatory cytokines with autocrine, paracrine, and endocrine activities. Therapeutic interventions targeting cellular senescence have shown potential benefits in extending lifespan and reducing tissue injury.

Microbial silver resistance mechanisms: recent developments

Ergi Terzioglu et al.

Summary: This mini-review provides an overview of the antimicrobial use of silver ions and nanoparticles against bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It discusses the toxicity of silver compounds, the molecular mechanisms of microbial silver resistance, and recent studies on bacteria and fungi. The roles of various proteins and systems in bacterial and fungal silver resistance are explained. The article also emphasizes the importance of exopolysaccharides and cell wall in defending against silver nanoparticles. Additionally, it discusses the evolutionary aspect of silver resistance, cross-resistance between silver and other substances, and the use of silver for inhibiting biofilm formation and combating viruses.

A Narrative Review of the History of Burn-Related Depression and Stress Reactions

Shivan N. Chokshi et al.

Summary: Burn care has a long history, while the recognition and treatment of psychiatric trauma are relatively recent. Initially, clinicians focused on the physiological causes of burn mortality, but as burn care improved, attention shifted to the long-term health outcomes and mental health consequences of trauma. The association between burn trauma and mental illness emerged, but the understanding of the pathophysiology of depression among burn survivors is still incomplete.

Burn Infection and Burn Sepsis

Josephine A. D'Abbondanza et al.

Summary: Infection is a common complication and cause of death in burn patients, with diagnosis and treatment relying on physical examination, cultures, and pathology. Various factors increase infection risk, including underlying conditions, burn area, delays in treatment, and microbial virulence. Treatment involves local dressings, early excision, and antimicrobial therapy, with continued efforts essential for timely management and infection prevention.

Summary: This article highlights the importance and development of burn wound infection treatment methods through a review of historical literature. While topical antimicrobial care plays a key role in burn patient management, there are still many gaps in treatment, such as fungal infections. Research on optimal topical treatment continues due to challenges in wound healing and access to early excision in certain patient populations and locations.

Inflammation-driven senescence-associated secretory phenotype in cancer-associated fibroblasts enhances peritoneal dissemination

Tadahito Yasuda et al.

Summary: In the tumor microenvironment, senescent cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) play a role in promoting gastric cancer (GC) peritoneal tumor formation through maintenance of the senescence-associated secretory phenotype (SASP) and JAK/STAT3 signaling. Single-cell mass cytometry analysis revealed a high expression level of senescent fibroblasts and SASP factors in the ascites of GC patients. These findings provide insights into the molecular mechanisms of inflammation-related SASP maintenance and the involvement of senescent CAFs in GC peritoneal dissemination.
