Article Synopsis
  • Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is aggressive and has few treatment options; this study explores organometallic Ir(III) complexes as a potential therapy for TNBC cell line MDA-MB-231.
  • The lead compound, IrL, shows effective cellular uptake and stability in culture media, along with strong photo-responsive imaging properties and a low inhibitory concentration (IC) value when exposed to specific light.
  • In vivo studies in mice suggest that IrL can effectively reduce tumors, showcasing its potential for use in nanomedicine against challenging metastatic TNBC.

Importance: Recent evolutions in clinical care and remote monitoring suggest that some acute illnesses no longer require intravenous therapy and inpatient hospitalization.

Objective: To describe outcomes of patients receiving care in a new, outpatient, virtual, home-based acute care model called Safer@Home.

Design, Setting, And Participants: This retrospective cohort analysis, conducted from September 1, 2022, through August 31, 2023, included 2466 patients treated at a safety net hospital in Los Angeles County for 10 core illnesses and 24 other acute illnesses for which patients are commonly hospitalized.

Protein acetylation and acylation are widespread post-translational modifications (PTMs) in eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms. Histone acetyltransferase (HATs) enzymes catalyze the addition of short-chain acyl moieties to lysine residues on cellular proteins. Many HAT members are found to be dysregulated in human diseases, especially oncological processes.

Rice yield is greatly constrained by drought stress. In Arabidopsis, XYLEM NAC DOMAIN 1 (XND1) gene regulates the xylem formation, efficiency of water transport, and the delicate equilibrium between drought tolerance and resistance to pathogens. However, diversity and the role of rice homologs of OsXND1 is not reported so far.

TRPV1, a polymodal and nonselective cation channel has unique gating mechanisms which is regulated by supramolecular complexes at the plasma membrane formed with membrane proteins, lipids and kinase pathways. Crosstalk between microtubule cytoskeleton with TRPV1 at various level has been established. Previously we demonstrated that the positively-charged residues present at specific tubulin-binding stretch sequences (i.
