    Abstract In 2021, the scientific community celebrated the 85th anniversary of the Chinese scientist Academician Wen-Rui Hu. In addition to his innovative contributions to cosmic magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) during his early scientific career, he has initiated microgravity science research in China from the middle of 1980s, and made many pioneering contributions to microgravity fluid physics. He has also promoted researches in China in the fields of space material science, space biotechnology, space fundamental physics, and relevant applications. He is respected as the founder of microgravity science in China because of his eminent pioneering contributions and prominent leadership. This article tries to provide a brief historical perspective of the tireless explorations of Academician Wen-Rui Hu in the field of microgravity science and other relevant disciplines till today based on personal views of his former students and colleagues.

    Abstract Liver injury stimulates hepatocyte replication and hepatic stellate cell (HSC) activation, thereby driving liver regeneration. Aberrant HSC activation induces liver fibrosis. However, mechanisms underlying liver regeneration and fibrosis remain poorly understood. Here, we identify hepatic Snai1 and Snai2 as important transcriptional regulators for liver regeneration and fibrosis. Partial hepatectomy or CCl4 treatment increases occupancies of Snai1 and Snai2 on cyclin A2 and D1 promoters in the liver. Snai1 and Snai2 in turn increase promoter H3K27 acetylation and cyclin A2/D1 expressions. Hepatocyte-specific deletion of both Snai1 and Snai2, but not one alone, suppresses liver cyclin A2/D1 expression and regenerative hepatocyte proliferation after hepatectomy or CCl4 treatments but augments CCl4-stimulated HSC activation and liver fibrosis. Conversely, Snai2 overexpression in the liver enhances hepatocyte replication and suppresses liver fibrosis after CCl4 treatment. These results suggest that hepatic Snai1 and Snai2 directly promote, via histone modifications, reparative hepatocyte replication and indirectly inhibit liver fibrosis.

    Abstract Over the past decade, extensive research has been dedicated to understanding oxidative cell death, specifically the transition from oxytosis to ferroptosis. Oxytosis was initially characterized in 1989 as a calcium-dependent form of nerve cell death induced by glutamate.

    Abstract Ferroptosis, a nonapoptotic form of cell death characterized by iron accumulation and uncontrolled lipid peroxidation, holds promise as a therapeutic approach in cancer treatment, alongside established modalities, such as chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiotherapy. However, recent research has raised concerns about its side effects, including damage to immune cells, hematopoietic stem cells, liver, and kidneys, the development of cachexia, and the risk of secondary tumor formation. In this review, we provide an overview of these emerging findings, with a specific emphasis on elucidating the underlying mechanisms, and underscore the critical significance of effectively managing side effects associated with targeted ferroptosis-based therapy.

    Abstract Over the last two decades, numerous molecular dynamics (MD) simulation-based investigations have attempted to predict the membrane permeability to small-molecule drugs as indicators of their bioavailability, a majority of which utilize the inhomogeneous solubility diffusion (ISD) model. However, MD-based membrane permeability is routinely 3-4 orders of magnitude larger than the values measured with the intestinal perfusion technique. There have been contentious discussions on the sources of the large discrepancies, and the two indisputable, potentially dominant ones are the fixed protonation state of the permeant and the neglect of the unstirred water layer (UWL). Employing six small-molecule drugs of different biopharmaceutical classification system classes, the current MD study relies on the ISD model but introduces the (de)protonation of the permeant by characterizing the permeation free energy of both neutral and charged states. In addition, the role of the UWL as a potential resistance against permeation is explored. The new MD protocol closely mimics the nature of small-molecule permeation and yields estimates that agree well with in vivo intestinal permeability.

    Abstract Membrane curvature, once regarded as a passive consequence of membrane composition and cellular architecture, has been shown to actively modulate various properties of the cellular membrane. These changes could also lead to segregation of the constituents of the membrane, generating nanodomains with precise biological properties. Proteins often linked with neurodegeneration (e.g., tau, alpha-synuclein) exhibit an unintuitive affinity for synaptic vesicles in neurons, which are reported to lack distinct, ordered nanodomains based on their composition. In this study, all-atom molecular dynamics simulations are used to study a full-scale synaptic vesicle of realistic Gaussian curvature and its effect on the membrane dynamics and lipid nanodomain organization. Compelling indicators of nanodomain formation, from the perspective of composition, surface areas per lipid, order parameter, and domain lifetime, are identified in the vesicle membrane, which are absent in a flat bilayer of the same lipid composition. Therefore, our study supports the idea that curvature may induce phase separation in an otherwise fluid, disordered membrane.
