Abstract
The renoprotection of erythropoietin (EPO) and its derivatives such as helix B surface peptide (HBSP) have attracted a great deal of attention from scientists and clinicians alike. The evolutional achievement in the dissociation of tissue protection and erythropoiesis is obtained through HBSP characterisation and synthesis. We performed a series of studies using EPO, as well as HBSP, in a variety of biological models subjected to transplant-related renal injuries such as ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) and/or immunosuppressant nephrotoxicity. In this short review, we would like to address the effects of EPO in different formats, and its underlying mechanisms with focuses on apoptosis and inflammation in in vitro, ex vivo and in vivo renal injury models, and to further explore potential applications and challenges in humans.
Keywords: Erythropoietin, helix B surface peptide, ischemia reperfusion injury, inflammation, apoptosis and oxidation.

Nutrition and Metabolism in Musculoskeletal Diseases
The musculoskeletal system consists mainly of cartilage, bone, muscles, tendons, connective tissue and ligaments. Balanced metabolism is of vital importance for the homeostasis of the musculoskeletal system. A series of musculoskeletal diseases (for example, sarcopenia, osteoporosis) are resulted from the dysregulated metabolism of the musculoskeletal system. Furthermore, metabolic diseases (such ...read more
Protein Folding, Aggregation and Liquid-Liquid Phase Separation
Protein folding, misfolding and aggregation remain one of the main problems of interdisciplinary science not only because many questions are still open, but also because they are important from the point of view of practical application. Protein aggregation and formation of fibrillar structures, for example, is a hallmark of a ...read more
