  This study exploring the role of TRPV1 signaling in recruiting macrophages and promoting angiogenesis during tympanic membrane wound healing presents useful findings. However, the strength of evidence supporting the central claims is incomplete, as the mechanistic links between TRPV1 activation and immune cell recruitment remain largely correlative and rely heavily on previously published datasets without sufficient functional validation. The work will be of interest to researchers studying wound healing and sensory-immune interactions, though substantial revisions are needed to support its broader significance.

  This valuable paper analyses the role of endogenous CNS hemoglobin in protecting mitochondrial homeostasis in hypoxic conditions. The work is solid and opens the doors to future work in this field. However, it leaves many questions open regarding CNS-specific ischemia/hypoxia that should be considered in future work. In particular, a whole-body hypoxia model may liberate exosomes from other hypoxic organs, which may contribute to the protective effect. Overall, this work has the potential to be of broad interest to the neuroscience and hypoxia communities.

  This important study highlights the essential role of AARS2 in safeguarding cardiomyocytes against ischemic stress by modulating energy metabolism towards glycolysis via PKM2. This mechanism unveils a promising new therapeutic target for treating myocardial infarction. Convincing findings are underpinned by a comprehensive dataset, including cardiomyocyte-specific genetic modifications, functional assays, and ribosome profiling, all collectively providing strong evidence for the critical involvement of the AARS2-PKM2 signalling pathway in cardiac protection.
