Intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1: A new regulator of impaired counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia in type 1 diabetes mellitus.

In this article, we review the study by Jin , which examined the role of intestinal glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) in counterregulatory responses to hypoglycemia in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). With the global rise of T1DM, there is an increased burden on society and healthcare systems. Due to insulin therapy and islet dysfunction, T1DM patients are highly vulnerable to severe hypoglycemia, a leading cause of mortality.

Retrospective analysis of pathological types and imaging features in pancreatic cancer: A comprehensive study.

Background: Pancreatic cancer remains one of the most lethal malignancies worldwide, with a poor prognosis often attributed to late diagnosis. Understanding the correlation between pathological type and imaging features is crucial for early detection and appropriate treatment planning.

Aim: To retrospectively analyze the relationship between different pathological types of pancreatic cancer and their corresponding imaging features.

Ultrasound-activated erythrocyte membrane-camouflaged Pt (II) layered double hydroxide enhances PD-1 inhibitor efficacy in triple-negative breast cancer through cGAS-STING pathway-mediated immunogenic cell death.

Immunogenic cell death (ICD) offers a promising avenue for the treatment of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). However, optimizing immune responses remains a formidable challenge. This study presents the design of RBCm@Pt-CoNi layered double hydroxide (RmPLH), an innovative sonosensitizer for sonodynamic therapy (SDT), aimed at enhancing the efficacy of programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) inhibitors by inducing robust ICD responses.

Cardiomyocyte S1PR1 promotes cardiac regeneration via AKT/mTORC1 signaling pathway.

Lower vertebrates and some neonatal mammals are known to possess the ability to regenerate cardiomyocyte and fully recover after heart injuries within a limited period. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of heart regeneration and exploring new ways to enhance cardiac regeneration hold significant promise for therapeutic intervention of heart failure. Sphingosine 1-phospahte receptor 1 (S1PR1) is highly expressed in cardiomyocytes and plays a crucial role in heart development and pathological cardiac remodeling.

3D printing fiber-tip integrated Fabry-Perot interferometers for ultrasensitive RI sensing with an enhanced Vernier effect.

An ultrasensitive refractive index (RI) sensing technology based on an enhanced Vernier effect is proposed, which integrates a polymer Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) with an open cavity FPI on the tip of a seven-core optical fiber. Interference spectra of the polymer FPI and the open cavity FPI shift to opposite directions as the ambient RI changes, thus leading to the enhanced Vernier effect. Investigations of RI sensitivity and temperature dependence of the proposed fiber sensors are carried out.
