TL;DR: The findings demonstrate that the direct negative inotropic effect of cytokines is mediated through a myocardial nitric oxide synthase, and the regulation of pro-inflammatory cytokines and myocardia nitricoxide synthase may provide new therapeutic strategies for the treatment of cardiac disease.

TL;DR: It is discovered that ferroptosis involves a highly organized oxygenation center, wherein oxidation in endoplasmic-reticulum-associated compartments occurs on only one class of phospholipids (phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) and is specific toward two fatty acyls-arachidonoyl (AA) and AdA (AdA).

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that DCs release exosomes with different miRNAs depending on the maturation of the DCs, and exosome-shuttle miRNAAs are functional, because they repress target mRNAs of acceptor DCs.

TL;DR: Skeletal muscle of trained endurance athletes is markedly insulin sensitive and has a high oxidative capacity, despite having an elevated lipid content, according to quantitative image analysis of Oil Red O staining.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that exosomes also are internalized and processed by immature DCs for presentation to CD4(+) T cells, implying that exOSomes present in circulation or extracellular fluids constitute an alternative source of self- or allopeptides for DCs during maintenance of peripheral tolerance or initiation of the indirect pathway of allorecognition in transplantation.
