Ovarian cancer presents a significant treatment challenge due to its insidious nature and high malignancy. As autophagy is a vital cellular process for maintaining homeostasis, targeting the autophagic pathway has emerged as an avenue for cancer therapy. In the present study, we identify apolipoprotein B100 (ApoB100), a key modulator of lipid metabolism, as a potential prognostic biomarker of ovarian cancer.

The limited transport of oxygen at the solid-liquid interface and the poor charge separation efficiency of single catalyst significantly impedes the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby weakening the application potential of photocatalytic technology in water pollution control. Herein, a hollow porous photocatalytic aerogel sphere (calcium alginate/cellulose nanofibers (CA/CNF)) loaded BiOBr/TiC, combining a favourable mass transfer structure with effective catalytic centers was firstly presented. The floatability and hollow pore structure facilitated rapid O transfer via a triphase interface, thereby promoting the generation of ROS.

Reportedly, the number of κ-casein (κ-CN) B alleles increases the proportion of κ-CN to total protein and the κ-CN content. This phenomenon is caused by single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in the promoter region of , which encodes the B variant. Therefore, a series of 5'-deleted promoter plasmids were constructed to define the core promoter of .

KGF, also known as FGF7, is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family that binds with high affinity to the FGF receptor 2b (FGFR2b) and regulates various cellular processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation in a variety of tumors. However, its potential role in hypopharyngeal cancer (HPC) remains largely unknown. In our study, we observed increased expression of FGFR2b in HPC.
