Objective: Transforming growth factor-β-activated kinase 1 binding protein 2 (TAB2) plays a vital role in inflammatory pathways. It has also been considered a potential target for the enhancement of the the antiestrogen effects. Previous evidence has indicated that TAB2 gene variants are associated with several diseases, whereas their potential correlation with endometrial cancer (EC) is unclear.

Subclinical hypothyroidism (SCH) contributes to obesity, with the liver acting as a crucial metabolic regulator. Thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) affects systemic lipid balance, potentially linking SCH to obesity. While the direct impact of TSH on hepatic lipid metabolism has been extensively documented, its role in modulating lipid dynamics in peripheral organs through liver-mediated pathways remains insufficiently understood.

Starch, as the primary storage material in maize endosperm, is essential in determining yield and quality. Although the starch biosynthetic pathway in maize has been well-documented, the transcriptional network underlying endosperm starch synthesis remains elusive. Through a comprehensive co-expression analysis, we screened an endosperm-preferential AP2/ERF transcription factor ZmEREB25, which exhibited a strong correlation with the expression pattern of starch biosynthetic genes in maize endosperm.

Clusteroluminogens (CLgens) represent an innovative class of nonconjugated luminophores that address the limitations of conventional π-conjugated molecules. Different from the through-bond conjugation mechanism in π-conjugated luminophores, through-space conjugation (TSC) plays dominant roles in CLgens. However, precisely controlling TSC to customize the optical properties of CLgens remains a significant challenge.

Developing efficient, single-phase white-light phosphors remains a formidable challenge in optoelectronics. Herein, high pressure initially induces trimeric contraction and distortion in (CNH)(ZnCl)[PbCl], regulating the transition equilibrium of self-trapped excitons (STEs) with varied emission colors. Then, considerable structural distortion and destruction lead to intense white-light emission of an amorphous phase.

Background: Pancreatic cancer is a malignant tumor of the digestive tract with a high mortality rate. Erianin has antitumor activity, but the regulatory targets and mechanism of action in pancreatic cancer are unclear. The objective of this study was to evaluate the anti-pancreatic cancer activity of Erianin and explore its underlying mechanisms.

Article Synopsis
  • Camrelizumab, used for treating cancers like squamous cell carcinoma, can lead to encephalitis, as seen in a 67-year-old male patient one month post-treatment.
  • Symptoms of encephalitis included fatigue, numbness, and walking instability, with elevated protein levels in cerebrospinal fluid but no brain metastasis detected.
  • The patient responded positively to a one-month corticosteroid treatment, which reduced symptoms and CSF protein levels, demonstrating that corticosteroids are effective and safe for managing camrelizumab-related side effects.

The limited efficacy of cancer immunotherapy occurs due to the lack of spatiotemporal orchestration of adaptive immune response stimulation and immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment modulation. Herein, we report a nanoplatform fabricated using a pH-sensitive triblock copolymer synthesized by reversible addition-fragmentation chain transfer polymerization enabling in situ tumor vaccination and tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) polarization. The nanocarrier itself can induce melanoma immunogenic cell death (ICD) via tertiary amines and thioethers concentrating on mitochondria to regulate metabolism in triggering endoplasmic reticulum stress and upregulating gasdermin D for pyroptosis as well as some features of ferroptosis and apoptosis.

Background: The dynamics of mitochondrial respiratory cristae (MRC) and its impact on oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) play a crucial role in driving the progression of high-grade glioma (HGG). However, the underlying mechanism remains unclear.

Methods: In the present study, we employed machine learning-based transmission electron microscopy analysis of 7141 mitochondria from 54 resected glioma patients.

Chronic inflammation has been associated with the development of cancer in various anatomical sites. However, the crosstalk between inflammatory factors and circular RNAs (circRNAs) in tumorigenesis is unclear. Here, we revealed that circDMD was upregulated in Tumor necrosis factor alpha-like (TNFα)-induced HeLa cells.

The progression of cancer involves mutations in normal cells, leading to uncontrolled division and tissue destruction, highlighting the complexity of tumor microenvironments (TMEs). Immunotherapy has emerged as a transformative approach, yet the balance between efficacy and safety remains a challenge. Nanoparticles such as polymersomes offer the possibility to precisely target tumors, deliver drugs in a controlled way, effectively modulate the antitumor immunity, and notably reduce side effects.

Immunosuppressive tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) account for a high proportion of the tumor tissue and significantly impede immunoefficacy. Furthermore, the signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) expressed in TAMs adversely correlates with macrophage activation and phagocytosis, resulting in immunosurveillance escape. To address these difficulties, a mannose-modified, pH-responsive nanoplatform with resiquimod (R848) and 2', 3'-cyclic GMP-AMP (cGAMP) co-encapsulation (named M-PNP@R@C) is designed to polarize TAMs and lower SIRPα expression.

Background: Approximately 7% of the males exhibit reduced fertility; however, the regulatory genes and pathways involved remain largely unknown. TBC1 domain family member 21 (TBC1D21) contains a conserved RabGAP catalytic domain that induces GDP/GTP exchange to inactivate Rabs by interacting with microtubules. We previously reported that Tbc1d21-null mice exhibit severe sperm tail defects with a disrupted axoneme, and that TBC1D21 interacts with RAB10.

Article Synopsis
  • Oxidative stress is responsible for a significant percentage of infertility in men, with Klotho protein playing a crucial role in regulating antioxidation and inflammation.
  • Male mice without Klotho are sterile, and men with infertility show reduced Klotho levels, indicating its importance in maintaining male fertility.
  • The study finds that reduced Klotho leads to lower levels of key GST proteins that help combat oxidative stress, resulting in increased cellular damage and reduced sperm quality.
