RNA modification-related genes illuminate prognostic signature and mechanism in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.

Emerging studies have demonstrated the link between RNA modifications and various cancers, while the predictive value and functional mechanisms of RNA modification-related genes (RMGs) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain unclear. Here we established a prognostic signature for ESCC based on five RMGs. The analysis of ESCC clinical samples further verified the prognostic power of the prognostic signature.

Sacubitril/valsartan alleviates sepsis-induced acute lung injury via inhibiting GSDMD-dependent macrophage pyroptosis in mice.

Sepsis-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is a life-threatening disorder with intricate pathogenesis. Macrophage pyroptosis reportedly plays a vital role in ALI. Although it has been established that angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) can reduce sepsis-induced organ injury, the efficacy of sacubitril/valsartan (SV) for sepsis has been largely understudied.
