Damaged brain accelerates bone healing by releasing small extracellular vesicles that target osteoprogenitors by Wei Xia, Jing Xie, Zhiqing Cai, Xuhua Liu, Jing Wen, Zhong-Kai Cui, Run Zhao, Xiaomei Zhou, Jiahui Chen, Xinru Mao, Zhengtao Gu, Zhimin Zou, Zhipeng Zou, Yue Zhang, Ming Zhao, Maegele Mac, Qiancheng Song, Xiaochun Bai

“…We show that miR-328a-3p and miR-150-5p, enriched in the sEVs after TBI, promote osteogenesis by directly targeting the 3′UTR of FOXO4 or CBL, respectively, and hydrogel carrying miR-328a-3p-containing sEVs efficiently repaires bone defects in rats. Importantly, increased fibronectin expression on sEVs surface contributes to targeting of osteoprogenitors in bone by TBI sEVs, thereby implying that modification of the sEVs surface fibronectin could be used in bone-targeted drug delivery. …”

Linoleic acid, mitochondria, gut microbiome, and metabolic health: a mechanistic review by Joseph Mercola

“…This review examines how excessive consumption of industrial seed oils rich in linoleic acid (LA) contributes to mitochondrial dysfunction, in part, by promoting peroxidation of lipids, including cardiolipin (CL), and altering mitochondrial bioenergetics. Such modifications destabilize electron transport chain (ETC) supercomplexes and elevate reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, thereby compromising ATP production and overall mitochondrial efficiency. …”
