Increased macrophages contribute to thyroid hormone-induced cardiac alterations in mice.

Aims: The heart is one of the main targets of thyroid hormone. Patients with hyperthyroidism, a disease with high incidence in the population, have increased arrhythmia risk and cardiac hypertrophy, which is an independent predictor of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Recent research has revealed the essential roles of leukocytes in cardiac homeostasis and stress-induced responses.

Senescent cell depletion alleviates obesity-related metabolic and cardiac disorders.

Unlabelled: Obesity is a major contributor to metabolic and cardiovascular disease. Although senescent cells have been shown to accumulate in adipose tissue, the role of senescence in obesity-induced metabolic disorders and in cardiac dysfunction is not yet clear; therefore, the therapeutic potential of managing senescence in obesity-related metabolic and cardiac disorders remains to be fully defined.

Objective: We investigated the beneficial effects of a senolytic cocktail (dasatinib and quercetin) on senescence and its influence on obesity-related parameters.

Investigating the Correlation Between Long-Term Response in Patients with Metastatic HER2+ Breast Cancer and the Activity of Regulatory T Cells: A Retrospective Study.

Background: Trastuzumab is commonly utilized in the management of metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer. Our main goal was to examine the clinical outcomes and immune markers of patients who received trastuzumab and chemotherapy treatment.

Methods: Between 1995 and 2012, a total of 98 patients diagnosed with metastatic HER2-positive breast cancer were retrospectively analyzed at Ege University Hospital and Tepecik Training and Research Hospital.

Chemical and genetic characterization of lipopeptides from and with activity against .

Introduction: The fungus significantly threatens maize crops in tropical soils. In light of this, biological control has emerged as a promising strategy to reduce fungicide costs and environmental risks. In this study, we aimed to test the antifungal activity of cell-free supernatant (CFS) from three (CT02, IM14, and LIS05) and one (LIS04) against , thereby contributing to the development of effective biocontrol measures.

Temporal progression of tau pathology and neuroinflammation in a rhesus monkey model of Alzheimer's disease.

Introduction: The understanding of the pathological events in Alzheimer's disease (AD) has advanced dramatically, but the successful translation from rodent models into efficient human therapies is still problematic.

Methods: To examine how tau pathology can develop in the primate brain, we injected 12 macaques with a dual tau mutation (P301L/S320F) into the entorhinal cortex (ERC). An investigation was performed using high-resolution microscopy, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and fluid biomarkers to determine the temporal progression of the pathology 3 and 6 months after the injection.
