Chemotherapy (CT) can significantly inhibit tumor growth, metastasis, and recurrence during cancer therapy. People have widely used platinum drugs in cancer treatment. However, as most chemotherapeutic drugs, platinum drugs still have shortcomings such as poor solubility, low cell uptake, nonspecific distribution, multidrug resistance, and adverse side effects.

Five halophilic archaeal strains, XH8T, CK5-1T, GDY1T, HW8-1T, and XH21T, were isolated from commercial coarse salt produced in different regions of China. Their 16S rRNA and rpoB' gene sequences indicated that four of the strains (CK5-1T, GDY1T, HW8-1T, and XH21T) represent distinct species within the genus Haloplanus (family Haloferacaceae), while strain XH8T represents a novel genus within the same family. These assignments were supported by phylogenetic and phylogenomic analyses, which showed that strains CK5-1T, GDY1T, HW8-1T, and XH21T cluster with the current species of the genus Haloplanus, while strain XH8T forms a separate branch from the genus Haloplanus.

Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of heme-oxidized iron regulatory protein 2 (IRP2) and its interaction with nadolol in preventing ferroptosis—an iron-dependent form of cell death—in the context of ischemic stroke.
  • Using a rat model and HT22 cells, researchers found that nadolol, a β-blocker, reduced brain injury and ferroptosis by reversing changes in key proteins associated with iron metabolism.
  • The findings suggest that nadolol could be a promising new treatment option for protecting the brain from damage due to ischemic stroke by targeting the HOIL-1/IRP2 pathway.

Background: Sirolimus is increasingly utilized in treating diseases associated with mTOR pathway overactivation. Despite its potential, the lack of evidence regarding its long-term safety across all age groups, particularly in pediatric patients, has limited its further application. This study aims to assess the long-term safety of sirolimus, with a specific focus on its impact on growth patterns in pediatric patients.

Background: The role of diverse antibodies in mediating peripheral nerve injury in Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) is becoming clearer, but positivity for multiple antibodies in one case is uncommon. To our knowledge, this is the first case involving GBS with positive anti-sulfatide, anti-GT1a, and anti-GT1b antibodies.

Case Summary: A 20-year-old female patient was admitted to the hospital due to weakness of limbs for 5 d, and deterioration of the weakness and muscle aches for 1 d.

Objectives: To investigate the effects and mechanism of curculigoside against poststroke depression (PSD).

Methods: In vivo, a PSD rat model was created by combining bilateral common carotid artery occlusion and chronic unpredictable mild stress stimulations. After 4-week modeling and intragastrically administration of curculigoside, the effects of curculigoside on behavior, hippocampal neurogenesis, and hippocampal mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation (OxPhos) were investigated.

Targeting telomere maintenance has emerged as a promising strategy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment. However, given the duality of the telomere-telomerase axis in telomere maintenance, a comprehensive strategy is urgently needed. Herein, we develop a poly(amino acid) (D-PAAs)-based strategy for spatiotemporal codelivery of telomerase inhibitor, BIBR1523, and AKT inhibitor, isobavachalcone.

Article Synopsis
  • - Sodium thiosulfate is traditionally used to treat calciphylaxis and detoxify cyanide, but recent studies suggest it may also have benefits for conditions like neuronal ischemia, diabetes, heart failure, and lung injury.
  • - The exact mechanism of how sodium thiosulfate works is still not fully understood and appears to be complex, challenging the idea that its effects rely solely on hydrogen sulfide (HS) donation.
  • - This article provides insights into the synthesis, biological properties, and clinical uses of sodium thiosulfate while also exploring its role in sulfide signaling, indicating its potential for future medical applications.

Background: Epilepsy is one of the most common serious chronic neurological disorders, which can have a serious negative impact on individuals, families and society, and even death. With the increasing application of machine learning techniques in medicine in recent years, the integration of machine learning with epilepsy has received close attention, and machine learning has the potential to provide reliable and optimal performance for clinical diagnosis, prediction, and precision medicine in epilepsy through the use of various types of mathematical algorithms, and promises to make better parallel advances. However, no bibliometric assessment has been conducted to evaluate the scientific progress in this area.

Fungi have different genetic expression abilities and biosynthetic pathways under different cultivation conditions, which can produce various secondary metabolites. The "one strain many compounds" strategy is used to activate silent biosynthetic genes of fungi to produce various compounds, which is an effective method. In order to discover various new compounds in the edible fungus , a fermentation strategy involving precursor feeding and enzyme inhibitor addition has been employed.

Background: The incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer (CRC) are among the highest in the world, and its occurrence and development are closely related to tumor neovascularization. When the balance between pigment epithelium-derived factors (PEDF) that inhibit angiogenesis and vascular endothelial growth factors (VEGF) that stimulate angiogenesis is broken, angiogenesis is out of control, resulting in tumor development. Therefore, it is very necessary to find more therapeutic targets for CRC for early intervention and later treatment.

Spatial heterogeneity significantly enhances biodiversity, representing one of the ecology's most enduring paradigms. However, many studies have found decreasing, humped, and neutral correlations between spatial heterogeneity and biodiversity (heterogeneity-diversity relationships, HDR). These findings have pushed this widely accepted theory back into controversy.
