Article Synopsis
  • Atopic dermatitis (AD) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are different conditions, but this study reveals shared molecular mechanisms and chronic inflammation connecting them.
  • Using advanced analyses, researchers identified key genes like LTF, LTB4R, and CCR1 that are upregulated in both diseases, suggesting they could be used as biomarkers.
  • Additionally, potential therapeutic candidates Dioscin, Camptothecin, and Albamycin were found to bind effectively to CCR1, highlighting new avenues for treatment.

The interfacial solar steam generation for seawater desalination has attracted attention because of its excellent photothermal performance and efficiency. However, the process of preparing evaporators is often complex and costly, which limits their further practicality. Here, we report an integrated solar evaporator that is easy to prepare and has good salt resistance.

Objective: Vascular endothelial growth factor A (VEGFA) is a key regulator of angiogenesis, which is a hallmark of cancer that promotes cancer growth and metastasis. It is of great significance to find new intervention targets and related regulatory mechanisms of VEGFA related angiogenesis for the treatment of tumors. This study focuses on the role of tribbles pseudokinase 3 (TRIB3)/signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3)/VEGFA signaling axis in colon cancer angiogenesis.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 pandemic is a global public health event. Wuhan used to be the epicenter of China and finally controlled the outbreak through city lockdown and many other policies. However, the pandemic and the prevention strategies had a huge impact on the medical care procedures for patients with breast cancer, leading to the delay or interruption of anticancer therapies.

Cellular senescence is a stress response of human cells that removes potentially harmful cells by initiating cell cycle arrest. Inducing senescence of tumor cells may be an effective tumor-inhibiting strategy. In this study we found that PIK3R3 could inhibit the cell senescence of colorectal cancer cells and promote cell proliferation through the p53/p21 signal pathway.

Sine oculis homeobox homolog 4 (SIX4), a member of the SIX family, play important role in the development and construction of vertebrate tissues and organs. There is very little known about the function of SIX4 in cancer cells. Herein, we investigated whether SIX4 promote cancer metastasis in addition to its direct role in breast cancer cells.

Angiogenesis plays important roles in solid tumors progression. Growth factors such as vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGFs) can induce angiogenesis and hypoxia promotes the expression of VEGFs through activating hypoxia-inducible factor 1 (HIF-1α). However, the regulation of HIF-1α still not been fully understood.

Nucleic acid probes are very useful tools in biological and medical science. However, the essential sensing mechanism of nucleic acid probes was prone to the interference of surrounding sequences. Especially when the target sequences formed secondary structures such as hairpin or quadruplex, the nucleic acid probes were hindered from hybridizing with target strands, greatly disabled the function of probes.

Background: Cellular senescence is a state of irreversible cell growth arrest and senescence cells permanently lose proliferation potential. Induction of cellular senescence might be a novel therapy for cancer cells. TRIB2 has been reported to participate in regulating proliferation and drug resistance of various cancer cells.
