Revisiting the unobtrusive role of exogenous stem cells beyond neural circuits replacement in spinal cord injury repair.

Stem cell transplantation is a promising strategy to establish neural relays in situ for spinal cord injury (SCI) repair. Recent research has reported short-term survival of exogenous cells, irrespective of immunosuppressive drugs (ISD), results in similar function recovery, though the mechanisms remain unclear. This study aims to validate this short-term repair effect and the potential mechanisms in large animals.

Unveiling urinary extracellular vesicle mRNA signature for early diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer.

Bladder cancer (BC) ranks as one of the most prevalent cancers. Its early diagnosis is clinically essential but remains challenging due to the lack of reliable biomarkers. Extracellular vesicles (EVs) carry abundant biological cargoes from parental cells, rendering them as promising cancer biomarkers.

Identification of critical endoplasmic reticulum stress-related genes in advanced atherosclerotic plaque.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is the principal pathological cause of atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases. Chronic endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) has been implicated in AS aetiopathogenesis, but the underlying molecular interactions remain unclear. This study aims to identify the molecular mechanisms of ERS in AS pathogenesis to inform innovative diagnostic approaches and therapeutic targets for managing AS.

A Chromosomal-level genome assembly and annotation of fat greenling (Hexagrammos otakii).

Fat greenling (Hexagrammos otakii Jordan & Starks, 1895) is a valuable marine fish species, crucial for aquaculture in Northern China due to its high-quality meat and significant economic value. However, the aquaculture industry faces challenges such as trait degradation, early sexual maturity, and disease susceptibility, necessitating advanced genomic interventions for sustainable cultivation. This study presents the first chromosomal-level genome assembly of H.

Identification, Clinical Values, and Prospective Pathway Signaling of Lipid Metabolism Genes in Epilepsy and AED Treatment.

The dysregulation of lipid metabolism has been associated with the etiology and progression of the neurological pathology. However, the roles of lipid metabolism and the molecular mechanism in epilepsy and the use of antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are relatively understudied. Gene expression profiles of GSE143272 from blood samples were included for differential analysis, and the lipid metabolism-related differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified.
