Background: Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the predominant form of lung cancer, contributing significantly to global health and economic challenges. This study elucidated the role of RBM15 in NSCLC progression through its involvement in m6A modifications.
Methods: RBM15 levels in NSCLC tissues and cells were assessed via RT-qPCR and Western blotting.
Dietary lipids provide energy for animals and can also be converted into other nutrients (such as non-essential amino acids), which play a role in saving protein. The Chinese stripe-necked turtle is a protected and endangered species that has been bred in captivity; however, basic data on lipid requirements remain unavailable. In this study, 360 (body weight of 65.

Chinese soft-shelled turtle (Pelodiscus sinensis) hibernates without eating and drinking when the ambient temperature is very low. To better understand the characteristics of energy utilization during hibernation, the turtles in the physiological phases of summer active (SA), Pre-Hibernation (Pre-H), Mid-Hibernation (Mid-H) and early arousal (EA) were sampled. The results showed that the levels of serum triglyceride and hepatic lipid droplet were markedly increased in Pre-H and decreased in Mid-H compared with that in SA, indicating that P.

Recently it is an identified new pollutant that affects various aspects of reproduction, lipid metabolism, and nervous system. Behavioral activity serves as a pre-warning biomarker for predicting water quality.

Copper is commonly used to control algal blooms or macrophyte and waste infestations, its ambient concentration has increased significantly, indicating possible environmental risk. To investigate the effects of copper exposure on bioaccumulation, antioxidant defense, immune response, and apoptosis in the Chinese Striped-necked Turtle three experimental groups, control (0.
