Copper homeostasis and cuproptosis in health and disease
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Copper is a vital trace element in human physiology, essential for the synthesis of numerous crucial metabolic enzymes and facilitation of various biological processes. Regulation of copper levels within a narrow range is imperative for maintaining metabolic homeostasis. Numerous studies have demonstrated the significant roles of copper homeostasis and cuproptosis in health and disease pathogenesis. However, a comprehensive and up-to-date systematic review in this domain remains absent. This review aims to consolidate recent advancements in understanding the roles of cuproptosis and copper homeostasis in health and disease, focusing on the underlying mechanisms and potential therapeutic interventions. Dysregulation of copper homeostasis, manifesting as either copper excess or deficiency, is implicated in the etiology of various diseases. Cuproptosis, a recently identified form of cell death, is characterized by intracellular copper overload. This phenomenon mediates a diverse array of evolutionary processes in organisms, spanning from health to disease, and is implicated in genetic disorders, liver diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, and various cancers. This review provides a comprehensive summary of the pathogenic mechanisms underlying cuproptosis and copper homeostasis, along with associated targeted therapeutic agents. Furthermore, it explores future research directions with the potential to yield significant advancements in disease treatment, health management, and disease prevention.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
