Canonical and noncanonical NOTCH signaling in the nongenetic resistance of cancer: distinct and concerted control.

Therapeutic resistance in cancer is responsible for numerous cancer deaths in clinical practice. While target mutations are well recognized as the basis of genetic resistance to targeted therapy, nontarget mutation resistance (or nongenetic resistance) remains poorly characterized. Despite its complex and unintegrated mechanisms in the literature, nongenetic resistance is considered from our perspective to be a collective response of innate or acquired resistant subpopulations in heterogeneous tumors to therapy.

Characteristics of viral ovarian tumor domain protease from two emerging orthonairoviruses and identification of Yezo virus human infections in northeastern China as early as 2012.

Emerging tick-borne orthonairovirus infections pose a growing global concern, with limited understanding of the viral ovarian tumor-like cysteine proteases (vOTUs) encoded by novel orthonairoviruses. These vOTUs, a group of deubiquinylases (DUBs), disrupt the innate immune response. Yezo virus (YEZV), a recently discovered pathogenic orthonairovirus, was first reported in Japan in 2021.

Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 is a promising prognostic biomarker that correlates with peritumoral dendritic cell infiltration in glioblastoma.

Despite the growing interest in Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase 2 (PCK2) as a potential biomarker in cancer research, studies on its clinical relevance and biological processes in glioblastoma are still unexplored. Three main glioma cohorts (TCGA, CGGA, Rembrandt) were extracted to exploit the association between PCK2 expression and clinical relevance through Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis. Immunohistochemistry was used to detect PCK2 expression in glioma samples.

Ultrasonic detection of wrinkles in composites with gradual phase shift migration.

Fiber reinforced polymer composites (FRPs) are essential for various industrial fields, but wrinkles inside will greatly reduce their mechanical properties. Full-matrix capture (FMC) is a popular data structure for ultrasonic phased array imaging in composites. However, such structure may lead to data redundancy and noise interference.

Naoqing formula alleviates acute ischaemic stroke-induced ferroptosis via activating /xCT/GPX4 pathway.

Backgrounds: Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death. The accumulation of iron in the brain is linked to trigger ferroptosis after an ischaemic stroke (IS). Naoqing formula (NQ) is a traditional Chinese medicine metabolites with the clinical function of activating blood circulation, which is applied to treat IS clinically in China.
