Pancreatic Heterotopia in the Biliary Cyst Wall of a Pregnant Patient and Literature Review.

Pancreatic heterotopia is the presence of pancreatic tissue in a different anatomical location with no connection to the main pancreas. The most common locations in the gastrointestinal system are duodenum, stomach, and Meckel diverticulum. However, it is quite rare in the hepatobiliary system.

AP-1-dependent fibrosis: Exploring its potential role in the pathogenesis of placental transmogrification of the lung (PTL) via tissue-level transcriptome analysis.

Placental transmogrification of the lung (PTL) is a rare pulmonary condition characterized by the presence of immature placental villous structures. The etiology and molecular mechanisms underlying this disease remain largely unknown. This functional study aimed to identify the molecular signatures in the pathogenesis of PTL via comprehensive transcriptome analysis.

Targeting LINC00152 activates cAMP/Ca/ferroptosis axis and overcomes tamoxifen resistance in ER+ breast cancer.

Tamoxifen has been the mainstay therapy to treat early, locally advanced, and metastatic estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, constituting around 75% of all cases. However, emergence of resistance is common, necessitating the identification of novel therapeutic targets. Here, we demonstrated that long-noncoding RNA LINC00152 confers tamoxifen resistance via blocking tamoxifen-induced ferroptosis, an iron-mediated cell death.

Effectiveness of metformin for the reversal of cold-ischemia-induced damage in hepatosteatosis.

Background: Primary dysfunction and rejection are more common in donor liver tissues with steatosis. AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) assumes organ-protective functions during ischemia. Metformin was used for the activation of AMPK in hepatocytes.
