Ubiquitin-specific proteases (UBPs), the largest subfamily of deubiquitinating enzymes (DUBs), are critical for plant growth and development as well as abiotic-stress responses. In this study, we discovered that the expression of the () gene of the gene () was induced by salt, mannitol and abscisic acid (ABA) treatments. Further research revealed that UBP15 is involved in modulation of salt, drought tolerance and ABA signaling during seed germination, early seedling development, post-germination root growth or adult-plant stage.

Nonetheless, its diagnostic significance and biological mechanism in acute myocardial infarction (AMI) have yet to be fully explored.
Methods: To remedy this gap, we employed an integrative machine learning (ML) framework composed of 113 ML combinations within five independent AMI cohorts to establish a predictive migrasome-related signature (MS).
Peiminine, the primary biologically active compound from Fritillaria thunbergii Miq., has demonstrated significant pharmacological activities. Doxorubicin is one of the most potent chemotherapeutic agents for breast cancer (BC).

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are important tumor stromal cells that exhibit pro-oncogenic activities when reprogrammed by the tumor. However, the precise mechanisms underlying MSC reprogramming in gastric cancer remain not well understood.
