Microbiota and feeding modes influence the susceptibility of premature newborns to necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) through mechanisms that remain unknown. Here, we show that microbiota colonization facilitated by breastmilk feeding promotes NOD-like receptor family CARD domain containing 5 (Nlrc5) gene expression in mouse intestinal epithelial cells (IECs). Notably, inducible knockout of the Nlrc5 gene in IECs predisposes neonatal mice to NEC-like injury in the small intestine upon viral inflammation in an NK1.

Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is the most widely utilized plant growth regulator. Despite its extensive usage, IAA is often overlooked as an environmental pollutant. Due to its protein-binding nature, it also functions as a uremic toxin, contributing to its association with chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Article Synopsis
  • There is a significant need for new treatments for glioblastoma (GBM), and acetazolamide has shown promise in enhancing the effectiveness of the existing treatment, temozolomide (TMZ), by addressing resistance mechanisms.
  • This phase I trial involved 24 patients with high-grade gliomas, administering acetazolamide alongside TMZ, and observed no dose-limiting toxicities while monitoring common side effects.
  • Results indicated a median overall survival of about 30 months for GBM patients, with a notable survival rate that suggests acetazolamide could be beneficial, warranting further investigation in randomized trials and highlighting BCL-3 expression as a potential prognostic marker.

Dental caries (DC)-induced pulp infections usually undergo the common endodontic treatment, root canal therapy (RCT). Endodontically treated teeth are devitalized, become brittle and susceptible for re-infection which eventually results in dental loss. These complications arise because the devitalized pulp losses its ability for innate homeostasis, repair and regeneration.
