Screening of lipase TiL from Tilletia indica for chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of alkenes.

Lipase can mediate the chemo-enzymatic epoxidation of alkenes with the presence of free carboxylic acid and hydrogen peroxide. Four novel lipases with the abilities of chemo-enzymatic epoxidation were mined from the gene database. Lipase TiL originated from Tilletia indica was identified with significant activity on formation of methyl epoxystearate from methyl oleate.

Kallikrein-related peptidase 10 predicts prognosis and mediates tumor immunomodulation in colorectal cancer.

The incidence and mortality rates of colorectal cancer (CRC) have significantly increased in recent years. It has been shown that early diagnosis of CRC improves the five-year survival of patients compared to late diagnosis, as patients with stage I disease have a five-year survival rate as high as 90 %. Through bioinformatics analysis, we identified Kallikrein 10 (KLK10), a member of the Kallikrein family, as a reliable predictor of CRC progression, particularly in patients with early-stage CRC.

Arsenic Trioxide Cooperate Cryptotanshinone Exerts Antitumor Effect by Medicating Macrophage Polarization through Glycolysis.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is an often-fatal malignant tumor with high lethality. Despite advances and significant efficacy in monotherapy, cancer therapy continues to pose several challenges. Novel combination regimens are an emerging strategy for anti-HCC and have demonstrated to be effective.

Long noncoding RNA in liver cancer stem cells.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most common malignancies and a major cause of cancer-related deaths. HCC often has an insidious onset, fast progression, and high tendency of metastasis and recurrence, hence it is a highly fatal malignant tumor. The origin of HCC is still a topic of debate but studies over the past decade have clearly identified liver cancer stem cells (LCSCs) being a cardinal source of liver cancer.
