Anaplastic Thyroid Cancer (ATC) is an aggressive form of cancer with poor prognosis, heavily influenced by its tumor immune microenvironment (TIME). Understanding the cellular and gene expression dynamics within the TIME is crucial for developing targeted therapies. This study analyzes the immune microenvironment of ATC and Papillary Thyroid Cancer (PTC) using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

Article Synopsis
  • Improper use of antibiotics is creating "superbugs" that resist treatment, outpacing new antibiotic discovery.
  • A new screening method using a nanoliter matrix SlipChip (nm-SlipChip) allows for rapid testing of potential antibiotics, reducing sample consumption significantly.
  • This method successfully identified two novel compounds from the plant Callicarpa integerrima that can combat MRSA, highlighting its potential in tackling antibiotic resistance.

Keratinocytes exosome participates in the pathogenesis of psoriasis and exosomes always carry long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) into target cells to function as an essential immune regulator in psoriasis-related diseases. LncRNA LOC285194 is closely associated with the occurrence of psoriasis. However, whether keratinocyte exosomal LOC285194 participates in the process of psoriasis remains vague.
