Severe neonatal hypotonia due to SLC30A5 variant affecting function of ZnT5 zinc transporter by Vadim Dolgin, Pauline Chabosseau, Jacob Bistritzer, Iris Noyman, Orna Staretz‐Chacham, Ohad Wormser, Noam Hadar, Marina Eskin‐Schwartz, Bibi Kanengisser‐Pines, Ginat Narkis, Ramy Abramsky, Eilon Shany, Guy A. Rutter, Kyla Marks, Ohad S. Birk

“…Abstract The tightly‐regulated spatial and temporal distribution of zinc ion concentrations within cellular compartments is controlled by two groups of Zn2+ transporters: the 14‐member ZIP/SLC39 family, facilitating Zn2+ influx into the cytoplasm from the extracellular space or intracellular organelles; and the 10‐member ZnT/SLC30 family, mobilizing Zn2+ in the opposite direction. …”

L-Citrulline in Neonates: From Bench to Bed Side by Dwayne Mascarenhas, Atefeh Mohammadi, Randa Higazy, Julijana Ivanovska, Estelle Gauda, Bonny Jasani

“…Detoxification of endogenously produced superoxide radicals is inadequate in preterm infants due to immature antioxidants that leads to the production of peroxynitrite, a reactive oxygen-free radical that is cytotoxic and causes damage to organelles and cellular membranes, further disrupting the coupling of endothelial NO synthase enzyme and the generation of high levels of reactive nitrogen and oxygen species. …”

Review on the Injury and Repair Mechanism of Skeletal Muscle Contusions by LIN Jianping, WANG Hao, GUO Mingling, WANG Shizhong, CHEN Shaoqing

“…Autophagy maintains homeostasis through the self-degradation of abnormal organelles or misfolded proteins. As for the mechanism of autophagy in the repair of SMC, in addition to the induction of excessive ERS, it has been reported that SMC induces insufficient oxygen supply to local tissues, promotes the production of a large number of ROS or activation of AMPK signal pathway, and then induces mitochondrial autophagy, which maintains the stability of mitochondria and saves energy consumption, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting repair after SMC. …”
