High-order network degree revealed shared and distinct features among schizophrenia, bipolar disorder and ADHD.

Schizophrenia (SCHZ), bipolar disorder (BD), and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) share clinical symptoms and risk genes, but the shared and distinct neural dynamic mechanisms remain inadequately understood. Degree is a fundamental and important graph measure in network neuroscience, and we here extended the degree to hierarchical levels based on eigenmodes and compared the resting-state brain networks of three disorders and healthy controls (HC). First, compared to HC, SCHZ and BD patients exhibited substantially overlapped abnormalities in brain networks, wherein BD patients displayed more significant alterations.

Single-Molecule and Vesicle Trafficking Analysis of Ubiquitination Involved in the Activity of Ammonium Transporter AMT1;3 in under High Ammonium Stress.

Plants absorb nitrogen from the soil using ammonium transporters (AMTs). Plants can precisely regulate AMT1;3 levels using sophisticated regulatory systems, ensuring adequate nitrogen uptake without hazardous ammonium production. Here, we demonstrated that ubiquitylation can contribute to AMT1;3 degradation under high ammonium stress.

POR overexpression induces tamoxifen-resistance in breast cancer through the STAT1/c-Myc pathway.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women worldwide. Although tamoxifen (TAM), a selective estrogen receptor (ER) modulator, is widely used to treat ER-positive breast cancers, resistance to TAM remains a major clinical problem. NADPH-dependent cytochrome P450 reductase (POR) is known to participate in drug metabolism and steroid metabolism.

Potential Diagnostic and Prognostic Values of CBX8 Expression in Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma, Kidney Renal Clear Cell Carcinoma, and Ovarian Cancer: A Study Based on TCGA Data Mining.

Background: Chromobox protein homolog 8 (CBX8), a transcriptional repressor, participates in many biological processes in various carcinomas. Cell differentiation, aging, and cell cycle progression are examples of such processes. It is critical to investigate CBX8 expression and its relationship with clinicopathological characteristics in liver hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC), kidney renal clear cell carcinoma (KIRC), and ovarian cancer (OV) to investigate CBX8's potential diagnostic and prognostic values.
