Toll-like receptor 4 plays a vital role in irritable bowel syndrome: a scoping review.

Background: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common gastrointestinal disease. Recently, an increasing number of studies have shown that Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4), widely distributed on the surface of a variety of epithelial cells (ECs) and immune sentinel cells in the gut, plays a vital role in developing IBS.

Objectives: We sought to synthesize the existing literature on TLR4 in IBS and inform further study.

SiCLAT: simultaneous imaging of chromatin loops and active transcription in living cells.

We present SiCLAT, which introduces a dCas9-dCas13d cassette into the mouse genome. This model enables the stable expression of both dCas9 and dCas13 proteins in diverse cell populations, facilitating concurrent labeling of DNA and RNA across various cell types. Using SiCLAT, we accurately labeled chromatin loop anchor interactions and associated gene transcription during myogenic differentiation.

Contemporary Algorithm for Treating Bromhidrosis: A Review of Treatment Available.

Bromhidrosis significantly impacts individuals' social, professional, and emotional well-being. Traditional treatments such as en bloc excision and alcohol injections are now less favored due to associated complications and suboptimal outcomes. Current evidence identifies botulinum toxin A (BTX-A) as the first-line treatment for mild to moderate cases (Grade 0-2), attributed to its high efficacy, excellent safety profile, and minimally invasive nature.

Advancements in : probiotic characteristics, gene editing technologies and applications.

The exploration of microorganisms in fermented products has become a pivotal area of scientific research, primarily due to their widespread availability and profound potential to improve human health. Among these, (formerly known as ) stands out as a versatile lactic acid bacterium, prevalent across diverse ecological niches. Its appeal extends beyond its well-documented probiotic benefits to include the remarkable plasticity of its genome, which has captivated both scientific and industrial stakeholders.

circSIRT2/miR-542-3p/VASH1 axis regulates endothelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EndMT) in subretinal fibrosis in age-related macular degeneration models.

Neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD), characterized by choroidal neovascularization (CNV), is one of the leading causes of severe visual impairment and irreversible vision loss around the world. Subretinal fibrosis (SRF) contributes to the incomplete response to anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) treatment and is one of the main reasons for long-term poor visual outcomes in nAMD. Reducing SRF is urgently needed in the anti-VEGF era.
