The Mitochondrial Permeability Transition Pore-Current Knowledge of Its Structure, Function, and Regulation, and Optimized Methods for Evaluating Its Functional State

Rene Endlicher et al.

Summary: The mitochondrial permeability transition pore (MPTP) is a calcium-dependent, ion non-selective membrane pore with various functions. Its reversible opening protects cells from oxidative damage and allows Ca2+ ions efflux, while its irreversible opening leads to cell death. The sensitivity of the pore to Ca2+ ions changes with aging and plays a key role in disease pathogenesis.

The initiation of oxidative stress and therapeutic strategies in wound healing

Gang Wang et al.

Summary: When the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) exceeds the capacity of the reductive rheostat, it leads to oxidative stress (OS) in mammalian cells, which is commonly observed in various human pathological conditions. ROS plays a significant role in the wound healing process by regulating several physiological and pathological programs, including inflammation, cell proliferation, angiogenesis, granulation, and extracellular matrix formation. Excessive ROS has a negative impact on wound healing, while moderate levels of ROS are beneficial in killing bacteria and promoting revascularization at the wound site. This review aims to discuss the physiological rhythms of wound healing and the role of ROS, with the goal of exploring OS manipulation as a promising therapeutic approach.

Chronic Inflammation in Non-Healing Skin Wounds and Promising Natural Bioactive Compounds Treatment

Priscila Schilrreff et al.

Summary: This review discusses the crucial role of chronic inflammation in chronic wounds and its close association with immune regulation. The dysregulation of the immune system leads to persistent inflammation and impaired wound healing, resulting in chronic skin wounds. Furthermore, it explores the potential of natural bioactive compounds in wound treatment, particularly focusing on compounds with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial activities, as well as recent advancements in wound treatments utilizing nanotechnology or new biomaterial platforms.

Green Extraction Strategies for Sea Urchin Waste Valorization

Stefania Marzorati et al.

Summary: The purple sea urchin, found in the Mediterranean Sea and eastern Atlantic Ocean, is highly valued for its gonads as a food resource, with Italy being the main consumer in Europe. A new extraction method has been developed to obtain collagen from sea urchin by-products for tissue engineering, with potential applications in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals. The use of supercritical CO2 extraction technique has shown success in selectively extracting fatty acids, carotenoids, and polyhydroxynaphthoquinones (PHNQ) from sea urchin waste, demonstrating the feasibility of targeting added-value compounds.

SOD1, more than just an antioxidant

Elis Cristina Araujo Eleutherio et al.

Summary: During cellular respiration, radicals like superoxide can cause cell damage, but cells use the enzyme Cu/Zn Superoxide Dismutase (SOD1) to convert superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide. In addition to its primary function, SOD1 also plays other roles, such as activating gene transcription or functioning as an RNA binding protein.

Histochrome Attenuates Myocardial Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury by Inhibiting Ferroptosis-Induced Cardiomyocyte Death

Ji-Won Hwang et al.

Summary: Histochrome (HC), with potent antioxidant and iron-chelating capacity, is shown to improve cardiac function and reduce cardiac fibrosis in myocardial I/R injury by decreasing intracellular and mitochondrial ROS levels, preventing ferroptotic cell death. Early intervention with HC before reperfusion is a promising therapeutic option for secondary cardioprotection in patients who undergo coronary reperfusion therapy.
