Article Synopsis
  • Research shows that serotonin (5-HT) plays multiple roles in colorectal cancer (CRC), impacting tumor growth and cancer cell behavior.
  • Depleting 5-HT through gene silencing or inhibitors can slow CRC tumor growth, pointing to the importance of circulating 5-HT over its internal synthesis.
  • The study identifies that serotonin's cancer-promoting effects may occur through non-receptor mechanisms, specifically serotonylation of histone H3Q5, which transforms cancer-associated fibroblasts into a state that supports tumor growth and inflammation, suggesting new therapeutic approaches targeting serotonin in CRC.

Unlabelled: This study examined physicochemical parameters to assess their effectiveness as stability and maturity indicators during the process of composting pig manure and fungus residue at different ratios. The results showed that composting mixtures with all ratios of pig manure to fungus residue maintained a temperature exceeding 50 °C for more than 10 days during composting and met the requirement for pathogen destruction. The treatment containing mainly pig manure showed higher nitrogen loss and a shorter thermophilic phase and maturity time than the treatment containing mainly fungus residue.
