Article Synopsis
- Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women, and this study investigates the protein FNDC5's role in slowing down its growth.
- Analysis revealed that higher levels of FNDC5 in patients are linked to longer survival rates, and experiments in cell lines and mouse models showed that FNDC5 can inhibit cancer cell proliferation, invasion, and migration.
- The study found that FNDC5 works by blocking the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, suggesting that boosting FNDC5 levels could potentially help slow down cervical cancer development.
Enhanced proliferation and migration of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) contributes to vascular remodeling in hypertension. Adventitial fibroblasts (AFs)-derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) modulate vascular remodeling in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR). This study shows the important roles of EVs-mediated miR-21-3p transfer in VSMC proliferation and migration and underlying mechanisms in SHR.

The germination of maize seeds was inhibited seriously by NaCl treatment, while exogenous GABA reduced the inhibition of NaCl on the seeds germination. Effects on SOD, POD and CAT activity of GABA were detected.
