YTHDF2 promotes ATP synthesis and immune evasion in B cell malignancies.

Long-term durable remission in patients with B cell malignancies following chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-T cell immunotherapy remains unsatisfactory, often due to antigen escape. Malignant B cell transformation and oncogenic growth relies on efficient ATP synthesis, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. Here, we report that YTHDF2 facilitates energy supply and antigen escape in B cell malignancies, and its overexpression alone is sufficient to cause B cell transformation and tumorigenesis.

De-intensification of basal-bolus therapy by replacing prandial insulin with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in individuals with well-controlled type 2 diabetes: A single-centre, open-label randomised trial (TRANSITION-T2D).

Aims: The study aims to examine the outcome of replacement of prandial insulin with once-weekly subcutaneous semaglutide in people with type 2 diabetes reasonably controlled on multiple daily insulin injections (MDI).

Materials And Methods: This single-centre, randomised, open-label trial enrolled a statistically predetermined sample of 60 adults with HbA1c ≤7.5% (58 mmol/mol) receiving MDI, with a total daily dose (TDD) ≤120 units/day.

Metformin synergizes with gilteritinib in treating FLT3-mutated leukemia via targeting PLK1 signaling.

Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 (FLT3) mutations, present in over 30% of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cases and dominated by FLT3-internal tandem duplication (FLT3-ITD), are associated with poor outcomes in patients with AML. While tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs; e.g.

Mechanistic Insight into Intestinal α-Synuclein Aggregation in Parkinson's Disease Using a Laser-Printed Electrochemical Sensor.

Aggregated deposits of the protein α-synuclein and depleting levels of dopamine in the brain correlate with Parkinson's disease development. Treatments often focus on replenishing dopamine in the brain; however, the brain might not be the only site requiring attention. Aggregates of α-synuclein appear to accumulate in the gut years prior to the onset of any motor symptoms.

Surgical versus medical management of patients with primary hyperaldosteronism and indeterminate adrenal vein sampling: A 10-year experience of the Cleveland Clinic.

In patients with primary hyperaldosteronism (PA), adrenal vein sampling (AVS) can identify patients suitable for unilateral adrenalectomy. However, in AVS with an indeterminate aldosterone-to-cortisol lateralization (ACL) ratio of 3.0-4.

NAP-seq reveals multiple classes of structured noncoding RNAs with regulatory functions.

Up to 80% of the human genome produces "dark matter" RNAs, most of which are noncapped RNAs (napRNAs) that frequently act as noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) to modulate gene expression. Here, by developing a method, NAP-seq, to globally profile the full-length sequences of napRNAs with various terminal modifications at single-nucleotide resolution, we reveal diverse classes of structured ncRNAs. We discover stably expressed linear intron RNAs (sliRNAs), a class of snoRNA-intron RNAs (snotrons), a class of RNAs embedded in miRNA spacers (misRNAs) and thousands of previously uncharacterized structured napRNAs in humans and mice.

Osteopontin modulates microglial activation states and attenuates inflammatory responses after subarachnoid hemorrhage in rats.

Aims: Osteopontin (OPN) has demonstrated neuroprotective effects in various stroke models. Its role in neuroinflammation after brain injury remains to be elucidated. This study aims to clarify the effect of OPN on neuroinflammation, particularly on the functional states of microglia after subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH).

Comprehensive environmental performance of bottle-to-bottle recycling of PET bottles based on deposit-refund system in China.

Polyethylene terephthalate (PET) is a widely used packaging material and has high value in recycling. However, under China's dominant informal recycling system, most PET bottles are downcycled into fibers. The deposit-refund system (DRS) is considered a feasible mechanism to facilitate the high-value recycling of PET bottles.

Cellulose-Based Laser-Induced Graphene Devices for Electrochemical Monitoring of Bacterial Phenazine Production and Viability.

As an easily disposable substrate with a microporous texture, paper is a well-suited, generic substrate to build analytical devices for studying bacteria. Using a multi-pass lasing process, cellulose-based laser-induced graphene (cLIG) with a sheet resistance of 43.7 ± 2.

ChIPBase v3.0: the encyclopedia of transcriptional regulations of non-coding RNAs and protein-coding genes.

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) are emerging as key regulators of various biological processes. Although thousands of ncRNAs have been discovered, the transcriptional mechanisms and networks of the majority of ncRNAs have not been fully investigated. In this study, we updated ChIPBase to version 3.

Single-base resolution mapping of 2'-O-methylation sites by an exoribonuclease-enriched chemical method.

2'-O-methylation (Nm) is one of the most abundant RNA epigenetic modifications and plays a vital role in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression. Current Nm mapping approaches are normally limited to highly abundant RNAs and have significant technical hurdles in mRNAs or relatively rare non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). Here, we developed a new method for enriching Nm sites by using RNA exoribonuclease and periodate oxidation reactivity to eliminate 2'-hydroxylated (2'-OH) nucleosides, coupled with sequencing (Nm-REP-seq).

The mA reader IGF2BP2 regulates glutamine metabolism and represents a therapeutic target in acute myeloid leukemia.

N-Methyladenosine (mA) modification and its modulators play critical roles and show promise as therapeutic targets in human cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia (AML). IGF2BP2 was recently reported as an mA binding protein that enhances mRNA stability and translation. However, its function in AML remains largely elusive.
