Eugenol inhibits NEAT1 as a ceRNA in pre-cancerous breast lesions.

Objective: Eugenol (EU) from cloves is highly effective against different tumors. The long noncoding ribonucleic acids (lncRNAs), which play a role of competing endogenous RNAs (ceRNAs), suppress microRNAs (miRNAs) involved in post-transcriptional regulatory networks. The present work focused on analyzing how EU affected pre-cancerous breast lesions (PBL).

The efficacy of hydroxychloroquine in paediatric chronic immune thrombocytopenia: A retrospective cohort study.

Aims: Research on hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) for children with chronic immune thrombocytopenia (ITP) is limited. The association between antinuclear antibody (ANA) positivity and its efficacy remains unclear.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study compared the clinical characteristics of children with chronic ITP who received HCQ with those who did not, as well as patients who responded to HCQ at 3 months with those who did not.

Cocaine-Induced Remodeling of the Rat Brain Peptidome: Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Reveals Anatomically Specific Patterns of Cocaine-Regulated Peptide Changes.

Addiction to psychostimulants, including cocaine, causes widespread morbidity and mortality and is a major threat to global public health. Currently, no pharmacotherapies can successfully treat psychostimulant addiction. The neuroactive effects of cocaine and other psychostimulants have been studied extensively with respect to their modulation of monoamine systems (particularly dopamine); effects on neuropeptide systems have received less attention.

Radiative Cooling Meta-Fabric Integrated with Knitting Perspiration-Wicking and Coating Heat Conduction.

Radiative cooling is an emerging zero-energy-consumption technology for human body cooling in outdoor scenarios during hot seasons. However, existing radiative cooling textiles are limited by low intrinsic cooling power, high hydrophobicity, and heat-insulating properties, which seriously impede a satisfying cooling effect, perspiration-wicking, and heat dissipation, thus limiting human thermal comfort in practical situations. Here, we developed a radiative cooling meta-fabric that was integrated with high perspiration-wicking and thermal conduction capacity.

High cellular plasticity state of medulloblastoma local recurrence and distant dissemination.

Medulloblastoma (MB), a heterogeneous pediatric brain tumor, poses challenges in the treatment of tumor recurrence and dissemination. To characterize cellular diversity and genetic features, we comprehensively analyzed single-cell/nucleus RNA sequencing (sc/snRNA-seq), single-nucleus assay for transposase-accessible chromatin sequencing (snATAC-seq), and spatial transcriptomics profiles and identified distinct cellular populations in SHH (sonic hedgehog) and Group_3 subgroups, with varying proportions in local recurrence or dissemination. Local recurrence showed higher cycling tumor cell enrichment, whereas disseminated lesions had a relatively notable presence of differentiated subsets.
