Pentoxifylline and Preterm Monocyte Hyperinflammation
2026-10-05
Schüller and colleagues examined how pentoxifylline modulates LPS-driven inflammatory responses in monocytes from preterm infants, term infants, and adults. The study connected age-dependent immune phenotypes with reduced TLR4 expression, signaling, cytokine production, and phagocytosis, while also highlighting the limits of translating an in vitro neonatal sepsis model into clinical treatment.

Moesin as a Biomarker of Endothelial Injury in Sepsis
2026-10-01
The reference study identifies moesin (MSN) as a circulating indicator of endothelial injury and links elevated MSN to sepsis severity, pulmonary damage, and vascular hyperpermeability. By combining patient samples, mouse sepsis models, and MSN-silenced human microvascular endothelial cells, the work connects biomarker behavior with Rock1/MLC and NF-κB signaling mechanisms.

TiO2-NP Sonodynamic Therapy Targets PCO via Ferroptosis
2026-10-01
Li and colleagues developed TiO2-nanoparticle-coated intraocular lenses activated by ultrasound and showed that this sonodynamic approach suppresses posterior capsular opacification by damaging residual lens epithelial cells through a ferroptosis-associated oxidative mechanism. The work connects local device engineering with ROS generation, glutathione depletion, GPX4 reduction, lipid peroxidation, and transcriptomic evidence, while providing a preclinical basis for further safety and mechanism studies.

Pentoxifylline Dampens LPS Responses in Preterm Monocytes
2026-09-28
Schüller and colleagues tested pentoxifylline (PTX) against LPS-induced monocyte activation in preterm and term infants and adults, combining flow-cytometric, cytokine, phagocytosis, and TLR4 measurements. PTX reduced several inflammatory responses across age groups, while selected effects differed in neonatal samples—findings that support age-aware experimental design but do not establish clinical efficacy or a JAK-inhibitor mechanism.
