Metabolic rewiring in skin epidermis drives tolerance to oncogenic mutations.

Skin epithelial stem cells correct aberrancies induced by oncogenic mutations. Oncogenes invoke different strategies of epithelial tolerance; while wild-type cells outcompete β-catenin-gain-of-function (βcatGOF) cells, Hras cells outcompete wild-type cells. Here we ask how metabolic states change as wild-type stem cells interface with mutant cells and drive different cell-competition outcomes.

Advancements of anticancer agents by targeting the Hippo signalling pathway: biological activity, selectivity, docking analysis, and structure-activity relationship.

The Hippo signalling pathway is prominent and governs cell proliferation and stem cell activity, acting as a growth regulator and tumour suppressor. Defects in Hippo signalling and hyperactivation of its downstream effector's Yes-associated protein (YAP) and transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) play roles in cancer development, implying that pharmacological inhibition of YAP and TAZ activity could be an effective cancer treatment strategy. Conversely, YAP and TAZ can also have beneficial effects in promoting tissue repair and regeneration following damage, therefore their activation may be therapeutically effective in certain instances.

Selective utilization of glucose metabolism guides mammalian gastrulation.

The prevailing dogma for morphological patterning in developing organisms argues that the combined inputs of transcription factor networks and signalling morphogens alone generate spatially and temporally distinct expression patterns. However, metabolism has also emerged as a critical developmental regulator, independent of its functions in energy production and growth. The mechanistic role of nutrient utilization in instructing cellular programmes to shape the in vivo developing mammalian embryo remains unknown.

Spectrum of [18F]FDG PET/CT Findings in Primary Central Nervous System Lymphoma - A Pictorial Essay.

Primary central nervous system lymphoma (PCNSL) is a rare, aggressive variant of extranodal non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. Although gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging remains the initial imaging modality of choice, a whole-body F-18 fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) positron emission tomography-computed tomography is imperative to exclude systemic lymphomatous involvement. Furthermore, the metabolic parameter, maximum standardized uptake value (SUV) of the lesion, tumor-to-normal cerebral tissue SUV ratio, and FDG uptake patterns help in differentiating intracranial lymphomas from High-grade Glioblastoma Multiforme (HGM) and infectious lesions, and hence, consolidating the diagnosis.

Data-driven drug treatment: enhancing clinical decision-making with SalpPSO-optimized GraphSAGE.

Safe drug recommendation systems play a crucial role in minimizing adverse drug reactions and enhancing patient safety.
