Polystyrene Nanoplastics, NMNAT3, and Placental Ferroptosis
2026-09-08
The reference study identifies a mechanistic pathway linking gestational polystyrene nanoplastic exposure to placental metabolic failure and fetal growth restriction. Its central finding is that depletion of mitochondrial NMNAT3 disrupts NAD+ homeostasis, promotes ferritinophagy-mediated ferroptosis, and can be countered experimentally by NMNAT3 restoration or nicotinamide supplementation.

Moesin as a Biomarker of Endothelial Injury in Sepsis
2026-09-07
The reference study identifies circulating moesin (MSN) as a candidate marker of endothelial injury and sepsis severity, linking its elevation to SOFA scores, procalcitonin, and experimental lung damage. Its combined patient, mouse, and endothelial-cell design also suggests that MSN contributes mechanistically through ROCK1/MLC and NF-κB signaling, while highlighting the limits of biomarker evidence for clinical decision-making.
