Article Synopsis
- Endometrial cancer is a serious gynecological issue, and the study focused on the role of TBK1, a kinase involved in inflammation and immunity, in this cancer type.
- Research found that low TBK1 expression is linked to better patient outcomes, and inhibiting TBK1 with amlexanox reduced cancer cell growth and migration.
- The effects of amlexanox were shown to work through the AKT/NF-κB signaling pathway, suggesting a new direction for cancer treatments targeting TBK1 in endometrial cancer.
6'-sialyllactose prevents dexamethasone-induced muscle atrophy by controlling the muscle protein degradation pathway.

Sarcopenia is associated with various geriatric diseases, such as gait disorders, falls, malnutrition, and osteoporosis. Accordingly, interest in the prevention and treatment of sarcopenia has grown over the years. The human milk oligosaccharide (HMO) 6'-sialyllactose (6'-SL) is known to improve exercise performance, reduce muscle fatigue, and improve GNE myopathy; however, its effect on sarcopenia has not yet been reported.

Methods: This single-center retrospective study included patients who underwent laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC) for AC between April 2010 and December 2020. Propensity scores were used to match patients who underwent SILC with those who underwent conventional multiport LC (CMLC) in the entire cohort and in the two subgroups.
Article Synopsis
- Electrons at the borders of localization lead to unique states of matter in strongly correlated electron materials, like heavy electron metals, which showcase interesting magnetic behaviors.
- These phenomena arise from the interplay between localized and itinerant electrons, giving rise to novel states such as unconventional superconductivity and topological states of matter.
- The researchers simplified the complex Kondo lattice model for the antiferromagnet CeIn by integrating bandstructure calculations with a multi-orbital model, successfully validating their findings through neutron spectroscopy, thus enhancing our understanding of metallic quantum states.
Background: Maintaining a usual source of care (USC), which is crucial for primary healthcare, encompasses initial contact, comprehensive services, coordinated care, and ongoing support. However, limited research exists on the relationship between USC and medication adherence in patients with hypertension. This study aimed to investigate the association between USC and medication adherence among patients with hypertension.
