About Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research

Journal of Biomedical and Translational Research is the official journal of Research Institute of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University. Abbreviated title is 'J. Biomed. Transl. Res.'. It was launched in 2000. It contains reviews, original articles, short communications, and case reports, etc, which generally contain overall review on current research issues, results of novel experiment or investigation, rapid publication for research results, examination of clinical cases, and unique experimental procedures or techniques, respectively. It is published only online quarterly in March 31, June 30, September 30 and December 31 each year. Supplement numbers are times published. All of the manuscripts are peer-reviewed.

Targeted protein degradation: therapeutic potential and challenges of PROTACs and molecular glues

Sun Kim, Eui-Bae Jeung

J Biomed Transl Res 2025;26(2):21-34.

Targeted protein degradation (TPD) is an emerging therapeutic strategy that leverages the natural protein degradation systems of cells to eliminate disease-associated proteins selectively. Unlike traditional small molecule inhibitors, which merely suppress protein activity, TPD degrades target proteins directly, offering a novel approach to addressing undruggable proteins. The two most extensively studied TPD technologies, proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) and molecular glues (MGs), utilize the ubiquitin–proteasome system to induce TPD...

HGF from adipose-derived stem cells protects fibroblasts from apoptosis via c-Met–PI3K/AKT signaling

Dongho Kang, Eunhee Yeon, Taejo Kang, Hyekyung Song, Jiyoung Kim

Human dermal fibroblasts (HDFs) play a critical role in maintaining skin integrity and promoting tissue repair, but are highly susceptible to apoptosis under stress conditions such as nutrient deprivation. Adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) have emerged as a promising therapeutic option due to their regenerative potential and ability to secrete bioactive factors. In this study, we investigated the effect of ADSC-derived paracrine signaling on apoptosis in HDFs and explored the underlying molecular mechanisms. Using a Transwell co-culture system...

Effect of ethyl pyruvate on the artificial insemination liquid of boar spermatozoa

Malavi Arachchi Gamage Nayodya Dananjanee Malavi A Gamage, Wijesooriya Mudhiyanselage Nadeema Dissanayake, Young-Joo Yi

J Biomed Transl Res 2025;26(2):47-58.
https://doi.org/10.12729/jbtr.2025.26.2.47

The success of artificial insemination (AI) in the swine industry relies on conserving the quality of boar sperm during liquid storage, as boar spermatozoa are prone to oxidative stress due to the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content and lack of antioxidant defenses. Sperm motility, viability, acrosome integrity, and DNA stability are all affected by the increases in reactive oxygen species (ROS) during storage, which lowers fertility. Ethyl pyruvate (EP), a stable derivative of pyruvate, has good antioxidant properties and has been shown to...
