Lasalocid inhibits melanoma by down-regulating FOXM1 through PI3K/AKT and JNK/P38 MAPK pathways.

Melanoma poses a significant challenge to patients due to its aggressive nature and limited treatment options. Recent studies have suggested that lasalocid, a feed additive ionophore antibiotic, may have potential as an anticancer agent. However, the mechanism of lasalocid in melanoma is unclear.

The associations between the energy and timing of sugar-sweetened beverage intake and phenotypic age acceleration in U.S. adults: a cross-sectional survey of NHANES 2007-2010.

Objectives: The relationship between sugar-sweetened beverage (SSB) intake and phenotypic age acceleration (PhenoAgeAccel) is unclear. The aim of this study was to explore the associations between the energy and timing of SSB intake and PhenoAgeAccel in adults.

Methods: A cross-sectional analysis was conducted using data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) 2007-2010, which involved U.

Genetic code expansion reveals site-specific lactylation in living cells reshapes protein functions.

Protein lactylation is an emerging field. To advance the exploration of its biological functions, here we develop a comprehensive workflow that integrates proteomics to identify lactylated sites, genetic code expansion (GCE) for the expression of site-specifically lactylated proteins in living cells, and an integrated functional analysis (IFA) platform to evaluate their biological effects. Using a combined wet-and-dry-lab proteomics strategy, we identify a conserved lactylation at ALDOA-K147, which we hypothesize plays a significant biological role.

Exploring Healthcare Students' Intention to Use Virtual Reality Simulations in China: A Cross-sectional Study Applying the Technology Acceptance Model.

This study aims to investigate healthcare students' intention to use virtual reality simulations. By using the Technology Acceptance Model, the research delves into the factors influencing students' acceptance and adoption of virtual reality simulations. Following a cross-sectional design, this article adheres to the STROBE Statement guidelines.

Age-related changes in the impact of metabolic syndrome on prostate volume: a cross-sectional study.

This study investigated the impact of metabolic syndrome (MetS) and its components on prostate volume (PV) in the general Chinese population. In total, 43 455 participants in The First Medical Center of the Chinese PLA General Hospital (Beijing, China) from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2022, undergoing health examinations were included in the study. Participants were categorized into four groups according to PV quartiles: Q1 (PV ≤24.
