Tumor necrosis factor receptor-associated factor 5 (TRAF5) has been implicated in the pathogenesis of human malignancies. This work aimed to clarify the role of TRAF5 in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) progression. Herein, we uncovered that TRAF5 level was reduced in LUAD tissues.

Article Synopsis
- The rise of antibiotic-resistant bacteria has led to the exploration of alternative treatments, particularly targeting lipase, an enzyme found in many bacteria.
- This study examines five boron dipyrrolylmethene (BODIPY) derivatives for their ability to target lipase and exhibit antibacterial properties, with one compound, BDP-2, showing effectiveness against E. coli.
- The modified version, BDP2-Br@mPEG nanoparticles, demonstrated low toxicity to cancer cells and effective bacterial membrane disruption when exposed to green LED light, indicating its potential as a new antibacterial treatment.
