Background: Methyltransferase-like (METTL) family protein plays a crucial role in the progression of malignancies. However, the function of METTL17 across pan-cancers, especially in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is still poorly understood.

Methods: All original data were downloaded from TCGA, GTEx, HPA, UCSC databases and various data portals.

Introduction: Little is known about the factors underpinning discordant cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) amyloid beta (Aβ) versus p-tau181/Aβ or CSF Aβ versus Aβ positron emission tomography (PET).

Methods: We stratified 570 non-demented Alzheimer's Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) participants by Aβ PET and further by CSF Aβ or p-tau181/Aβ. We used analysis of covariance testing adjusting for covariates, followed by Tukey post hoc pairwise comparisons, to compare CSF soluble triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-2 (sTREM2) across four participant groups: CSF+ with CSF- , CSF- with CSF+ , and concordant CSF/CSF.

Dynamic responsive structural colored materials have drawn increased consideration in a wide range of applications, such as colorimetric sensors and high-safety tags. However, the sophisticated interactions among the individual responsive parts restrict the advanced design of multimodal responsive photonic materials. Inspired by stimuli-responsive color change in chameleon skin, a simple and effective photo-crosslinking strategy is proposed to construct hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) based hydrogels with multiple responsive structured colors.

Background: Treating diabetes in dialysis patients remains a challenge, with many hypoglycemic drugs requiring dose adjustments or avoidance in these patients.

Case Summary: This report describes an 83-year-old female patient with a 30-year history of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) who had struggled to control her blood sugar for more than a year. She had a history of high blood pressure for 30 years, had undergone continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis for more than two years, was 163 cm tall, weighed 77 kg, and had a body mass index of 28.

Invasive weed species exhibit both advantages, such as the potential for allelochemicals in bioherbicide development, and risks, including their threat to crop production. Therefore, this study aims to identify an allelochemical from , an invasive weed species. The dose-dependent effects of shoot and root extracts (SSE, SRE) on the signaling in the forage crop and germination in various weed species (, , , , and ) were evaluated.
