Knit fabric is one of the dominating fabric types for wearable textile across the whole world and during the production of knit fabric, faults created by different reasons cause difficulties in the subsequent process. The existing fault detection process in the knitting industry is done manually by the human naked eye. To detect faults automatically, deep learning-based models are very efficient and can reduce the workload for fabric inspection.

Unlabelled: The concept of viewing a patient as an organization within the context of digital healthcare is an innovative and evolving concept. Traditionally, the patient-doctor relationship has been centered around the individual patient and their interactions with healthcare providers. However, with the advent of technology and digital healthcare solutions, the dynamics of this relationship are changing.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) serve as crucial mediators of cell-to-cell communication in normal physiology as well as in diseased states; they have been largely studied in regard to their role in cancer progression. However, the mechanisms by which their biogenesis and secretion are regulated by metabolic or endocrine factors remain unknown. Here, we delineate a mechanism by which EV secretion is regulated by a cholesterol metabolite, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), where treatment of myeloid immune cells (RAW 264.

Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) are emerging as critical mediators of intercellular communication in the tumor microenvironment (TME). Here, we investigate the mechanisms by which sEVs derived from neutrophils treated with the cholesterol metabolite, 27-hydroxycholesterol (27HC), influence breast cancer progression. sEVs released from 27HC treated neutrophils enhance epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and stem-like properties in breast cancer cells, resulting in loss of adherence, increased migratory capacity and resistance to cytotoxic chemotherapy.

Article Synopsis
  • - Immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) treatments have shown limited success in solid tumors like breast cancer, prompting the search for alternative immune-boosting strategies.
  • - A study highlights the role of the protein NR0B2 in myeloid immune cells, showing that it can help reduce immune-suppressive regulatory T cells and is linked to better survival outcomes in various cancers, including breast cancer.
  • - Researchers developed a new methyl ester derivative of a compound (DSHN-OMe), which outperforms its predecessor in cellular uptake and efficacy against tumors, marking NR0B2 as a promising target for improving anti-cancer therapies.
