Fatty acid binding protein 7 (FABP7) is a multifunctional chaperone involved in lipid metabolism and signaling. It is primarily expressed in astrocytes and neural stem cells (NSCs), as well as their derived malignant glioma cells within the central nervous system. Despite growing evidence for FABP7's tumor-intrinsic onco-metabolic functions, its mechanistic role in regulating the brain tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) and its impact on prognosis at the molecular level remain incompletely understood.

Article Synopsis
  • * An online questionnaire was distributed to German physicians and rescue service personnel to gather their perspectives on trauma care and the use of blood products, showing a consensus on the need for improvement in this area.
  • * Results indicated that a significant majority of participants supported the prehospital use of certain blood products, particularly red blood cell concentrates and fibrinogen, to improve patient survival rates during trauma situations.

Article Synopsis
  • Disruption of sleep and circadian rhythms is linked to various health issues, including neurodegenerative diseases, metabolic disorders, cancer, and neurological conditions.
  • Research typically focuses on genetic mutations, but the role of Alternative Polyadenylation (APA) in sleep and circadian disturbances is underexplored.
  • The study identified specific APA patterns in rat brains related to time of day and sleep deprivation, and analyzed these patterns in connection with human brain disorder susceptibility genes.

Background: Digitalization in disaster medicine holds significant potential to accelerate rescue operations and ultimately save lives. Mass casualty incidents demand rapid and accurate information management to coordinate effective responses. Currently, first responders manually record triage results on patient cards, and brief information is communicated to the command post via radio communication.

Disruption of sleep and circadian rhythms are a comorbid feature of many pathologies, and can negatively influence many health conditions, including neurodegenerative disease, metabolic illness, cancer, and various neurological disorders. Genetic association studies linking sleep and circadian disturbances with disease susceptibility have mainly focused on changes in gene expression due to mutations, such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms. The interaction between sleep and/or circadian rhythms with the use of Alternative Polyadenylation (APA) has been largely undescribed, particularly in the context of other disorders.
