Mammalian SWI/SNF (mSWI/SNF) ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes play critical roles in regulating gene expression and DNA accessibility, and more than 20 % of cancers have mutations in genes encoding chromatin remodeling complexes. The mSWI/SNF family comprises three distinct classes: canonical BAF (cBAF), PBAF, and non-canonical BAF (ncBAF). While the structures of cBAF and PBAF have been resolved by using cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), the modular organization and assembly mechanism of ncBAF remain poorly understood.

Objective: To explore whether radiomics analysis of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) captured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) could discriminate unstable angina (UA) from stable angina (SA).

Methods: In this single-center retrospective case-control study, coronary CT images and clinical data from 240 angina patients were collected and analyzed. Patients with unstable angina ( = 120) were well-matched with those having stable angina ( = 120).

Background: Drug resistance remains a significant obstacle to Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) successful treatment, often leading to therapeutic failure. Our previous studies demonstrated that Glioma-associated oncogene-1 (GLI1) reduces chemotherapy sensitivity and promotes cell proliferation in AML cells. GANT61, an inhibitor of GLI1, emerges as a promising candidate in AML treatment.

Background: Respiratory infectious diseases (RIDs) are a global public health problem, characterized by strong infectivity, high transmissibility, and a high incidence in the population. This study aimed to explore RID prevention behaviors among older adults and analyze their influencing factors.

Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted to examine RID prevention behaviors among 2219 Chinese older adults.
