Cerebrospinal fluid-contacting neurons (CSF-cNs) exhibit neural stem cell (NSC) properties both in vitro and in vivo, and they may play a critical role in recovery after spinal cord injury (SCI). GABA receptors (GABABRs) are expressed in Pkd2l1 CSF-cNs. However, their role in Pkd2l1 CSF-cNs still needs to be discovered.

Studies have shown that IGF2BP3, an oncofetal protein and an m6A reader, overexpresses and correlates to lymph node metastasis and worse overall survival in histopathological studies including NSCLC, but its mechanism needs further study. This study explored IGF2BP3's function and mechanism in LUAD lymphatic metastasis using public databases, a human LUAD tissue microarray, human LUAD cells, and a lymphatic metastasis model in male BALB/c nude mice.

However, the effect of lipid metabolism mediated by peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) on the early embryonic development of sheep remains unclear. In this study, rosiglitazone (RSG), a PPARγ activator, was added to the in vitro embryo culture (IVC) medium to regulate the continuous expression of PPARγ.

In this, we report a rare case of tuberculous spondylitis diagnosed after percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP). A 69-year-old female sought came to our department with a history of chest and back pain from the last two months accompanied by weakness in both lower limbs.
