Liquid Phase Exfoliation of Protein Parent Crystals into Nanosheets and Fibrils Based on Orthogonal Supramolecular Interactions.

Proteins are attractive building blocks for fabricating diverse and precise nanomaterials. However, the facile fabrication of multidimensional artificial assemblies is highly challenging. Here, inspired by the large-scale production technique of inorganic nanomaterials, we demonstrate the application of liquid phase exfoliation (LPE) on native protein ConA by the design of synthetic ligands.

Gynostemma pentaphyllum saponins shield mice from peanut allergy by modulation of gut microbiota: A novel approach for peanut allergy management.

Background: Food allergies, particularly peanut (PN) allergies, are a growing concern, with fatal anaphylaxis incidents often reported. While palforzia is the sole FDA-approved drug for managing PN allergies, it is not universally effective.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the potential of Gynostemma pentaphyllum saponins (GpS) as a novel therapeutic agent for PN allergy through modulation of gut microbiota, addressing the limitations of current treatments.

Mechanical Thrombectomy for Treatment of Acute Cerebral Infarction due to Distal Medium Vessel Occlusions: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

Background: Mechanical thrombectomy (MT) is standard of care for acute cerebral infarction (ACI) due to large vessel occlusions. However, its clinical efficacy in patients with ACI due to distal medium vessel occlusions (DMVOs) remains unclear. This study evaluates the efficacy and safety of MT in patients with ACI due to DMVOs.

Rational Assembly of Three-component Coordination Polymers as Heterogeneous Catalysts for CO Cycloaddition and Cyanosilylation Reactions.

Four new coordination polymers based on 5-(((1H-imidazol-2-yl)methyl)amino) isophthalic acid (HL) and auxiliary ligands (1,10-phenanthroline, 2,2'-bipyridine, and 4,4'-bipyridine), namely, {[Zn(HL)(phen)(HO)] ⋅ 2HO} (CP 1), {[Ni(HL)(phen)(HO)]} (CP 2), {[Ni(HL)(2,2'-bpy)(HO)] ⋅ 2HO} (CP 3) and {[Cd(HL)(4,4'-bpy)(HO)] ⋅ 2HO} (CP 4) were rationally assembled. Furthermore, these four CPs were screened as heterogeneous catalysts for CO cycloaddition and cyanosilylation reactions under mild conditions. The catalytic experiments showed that CP 1 had the better catalytic performance, excellent substrate tolerance and recyclability for the above two reactions.

CNKSR2 interactome analysis indicates its association with the centrosome/microtubule system.

JOURNAL/nrgr/04.03/01300535-202508000-00031/figure1/v/2024-09-30T120553Z/r/image-tiff The protein connector enhancer of kinase suppressor of Ras 2 (CNKSR2), present in both the postsynaptic density and cytoplasm of neurons, is a scaffolding protein with several protein-binding domains. Variants of the CNKSR2 gene have been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders, particularly intellectual disability, although the precise mechanism involved has not yet been fully understood.

Combined gastroscopic and laparoscopic resection of gastric metastatic adenosquamous carcinoma from lung: A case report.

Background: Primary lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Common metastatic sites include the brain, liver, bones, and adrenal glands. However, gastric metastases from lung cancer are rare.

Safety assessment of anti-B cell maturation antigen chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy: a real-world study based on the FDA adverse event reporting system database.

Background: On April 18, 2024, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration officially required updating of the "boxed warning" for T cell malignancies for all chimeric antigen receptor T cell (CAR-T) therapies.

T lymphocyte and neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in patients with radiation-induced oral mucositis after intensity-modulated radiation therapy for head and neck cancer: A retrospective single-center study.

To investigate T lymphocyte, neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and their impact on patients with radiation-induced oral mucositis (RIOM) after intensity-modulated radiotherapy for head and neck cancer. The clinical data of 148 patients diagnosed with head and neck cancer from January 2016 to January 2019 were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into RIOM group (n = 42 cases) and non-RIOM group (n = 106 cases), based on whether they developed RIOM after intensity-modulated radiation therapy.

Human intermediate prostate cancer stem cells contribute to the initiation and development of prostate adenocarcinoma.

Background: Intermediate cells are present in the early stages of human prostate development and adenocarcinoma. While primary cells isolated from benign human prostate tissues or tumors exhibit an intermediate phenotype in vitro, they cannot form tumors in vivo unless genetically modified. It is unclear about the stem cell properties and tumorigenicity of intermediate cells.

The evolving process of ferroptosis in thyroid cancer: Novel mechanisms and opportunities.

Thyroid cancer (TC) is a prevalent endocrine malignancy, with a significant increase in incidence worldwide. Ferroptosis is a novel form of programmed cell death, primarily caused by iron overload and reactive oxygen species (ROS)-dependent accumulation of lipid peroxides. The main manifestations of cellular ferroptosis are rupture of the outer membrane, crumpling of the mitochondria and shrinkage or disappearance of the mitochondrial cristae, thus leading to cell death.

Association between systemic inflammation markers and blood pressure among children and adolescents: National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.

Background: Few studies have estimated the associations of systemic inflammation markers and high blood pressure (HBP) in the pediatric population.

Methods: Basing on data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1999 to 2018, we assessed the associations between four inflammation-related factors based on blood cell counts: systemic immune inflammation index (SII), neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), lymphocyte-to-monocyte ratio (LMR), and risk for pediatric HBP by estimating odds ratios (ORs) using multivariable logistic regression models.

Results: A total of 17,936 children aged 8-19 years were included in the analysis, representing about 36.

Two-dimensional vascularized liver organoid on extracellular matrix with defined stiffness for modeling fibrotic and normal tissues.

Antifibrotic drug screening requires evaluating the inhibitory effects of drug candidates on fibrotic cells while minimizing any adverse effects on normal cells. It is challenging to create organ-specific vascularized organoids that accurately model fibrotic and normal tissues for drug screening. Our previous studies have established methods for culturing primary microvessels and epithelial cells from adult tissues.

Transgenerational Inheritance Effects of Copper Oxide Nanoparticles (CuONPs) Induced Asthenospermia and Infertility via Gamete H3K9me3 Insufficiency Pathway in Mice.

The widespread use of colloidal copper oxide nanoparticles (CuONPs) poses substantial health risks to humans. CuONPs can penetrate the blood-testis barrier and induce spermatocide, and the understanding of the adverse effects of asthenospermia on spermatogenesis, embryonic development, and transgenerational inheritance is limited. In this study, male mice were orally administered different doses of CuONPs via continuous exposure for one spermatozoon development period (35 days) and then exposed without CuONPs for another 35 days.
