Engineered Macrophage Exosomes Deliver Drug-Targeted Therapy for Breast Cancer.

Breast cancer is a highly widespread form of malignant tumor characterized by a high rate of recurrence and mortality; it primarily occurs when tumor cells spread to peripheral regions of the body. Macrophages have a significant impact on the proliferation and metastasis of breast cancer. The exosomes generated by these cells exhibit an extensive spectrum of capabilities in suppressing the spread of cancer cells.

Breast cancer-derived CAV1 promotes lung metastasis by regulating integrin α6β4 and the recruitment and polarization of tumor-associated neutrophils.

Lung metastasis in breast cancer (BC) patients is one of the main reasons for their high mortality rate. The most prevalent BC small extracellular vesicles (sEVs receptor, integrin α6β4, has been found to interact with surfactant-associated protein (SFTPC) in lung epithelial cells, making BC more likely to metastasize to the lung. Tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) play an essential role in BC lung metastasis as a component of the lung pre-metastatic niche (PMN) with two sides.

Exploring the poverty-reduction benefits of agricultural machinery socialization services in China: Implications for the sustainable development of farmers.

Sustainable development is crucial for alleviating poverty among farmers. In this study, we examined the impact, and the mechanism underlying this impact, of the adoption of agricultural machinery services by farmers on their relative poverty from a multidimensional poverty perspective by employing the logit and ordered logit models and the Karlson-Holm-Breen (KHB) method. These results indicate that adopting agricultural machinery services can significantly reduce the probability of relative poverty among farmers, thereby expediting the sustainability of rural development.

Role of neutrophils on cancer cells and other immune cells in the tumor microenvironment.

The notion that neutrophils only perform a specific set of single functions in the body has changed with the advancement of research methods. As the most abundant myeloid cells in human blood, neutrophils are currently emerging as important regulators of cancer. Given the duality of neutrophils, neutrophil-based tumor therapy has been clinically carried out in recent years and has made some progress.

Hydrophobic deep eutectic solvent-based ultrasonic-assisted liquid-liquid microextraction combined with GC for eugenol, isoeugenol, and methyl isoeugenol determination in aquatic products.

The use of deep eutectic solvents (DESs) has great prospects because of the green and efficient characteristics, which can be used for developing analytical methods for foods. In this research, assisted by ultrasonic waves, a liquid-liquid microextraction detection method combined with gas chromatography was established for three anaesthetics (eugenol, isoeugenol, and methyl isoeugenol) in aquatic food. The processing conditions including the components, ratio of hydrogen bond acceptor and hydrogen bond donor, DES volume, ultrasonic time, and pH were evaluated and optimised to improve the extraction efficiency, which was based on the DES structures and properties.
