Article Synopsis
  • RAAS inhibitors, specifically ACE inhibitors and ARBs, have been studied for their effects on bone health in hypertensive patients, but results have been inconsistent regarding their impact on osteoporosis and fracture risk.
  • A study involving over 1,600 hypertensive individuals showed no significant link between the use of these antihypertensive drugs and the development of osteoporosis or fractures during a follow-up period of about 3.4 years.
  • Overall, findings suggest that using RAAS inhibitors does not significantly affect bone metabolism or lead to improvements in osteoporosis, regardless of the duration of use.

Hypertension and cancers are the most common causes of death in humans, as well as common co-diseases among elderly population. Studies have shown that hypertension is associated with carcinogenesis. The renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) is a crucial regulatory system of blood pressure, fluid, and electrolyte homeostasis, which plays an essential role in the pathogenesis of hypertension, whose mechanism is relatively clear.

Aliphatic glucosinolates are an abundant group of plant secondary metabolites in Brassica vegetables, with some of their degradation products demonstrating significant anti-cancer effects. The transcription factors MYB28 and MYB29 play key roles in the transcriptional regulation of aliphatic glucosinolates biosynthesis, but little is known about whether BoMYB28 and BoMYB29 are also modulated by upstream regulators or how, nor their gene regulatory networks. In this study, we first explored the hierarchical transcriptional regulatory networks of MYB28 and MYB29 in a model plant, then systemically screened the regulators of the three homologs in cabbage using a yeast one-hybrid.

We show that lattice dislocations of topological iron-based superconductors such as FeTeSe will intrinsically trap non-Abelian Majorana quasiparticles, in the absence of any external magnetic field. Our theory is motivated by the recent experimental observations of normal-state weak topology and surface magnetism that coexist with superconductivity in FeTeSe, the combination of which naturally achieves an emergent second-order topological superconductivity in a two-dimensional subsystem spanned by screw or edge dislocations. This exemplifies a new embedded higher-order topological phase in class D, where Majorana zero modes appear around the "corners" of a low-dimensional embedded subsystem, instead of those of the full crystal.

Ferromagnetism and superconductivity are two key ingredients for topological superconductors, which can serve as building blocks of fault-tolerant quantum computers. Adversely, ferromagnetism and superconductivity are typically also two hostile orderings competing to align spins in different configurations, and thus making the material design and experimental implementation extremely challenging. A single material platform with concurrent ferromagnetism and superconductivity is actively pursued.

Background: The impact of age on the efficacy and safety of immunotherapy remains controversial. The previous studies simply classified patients into younger and older groups, which might not reflect the real impact of young age on immunotherapy efficacy. The current study aimed to explore the efficacy and safety of immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) combined therapy in young (aged 18-44 years), middle-aged (aged 45-65 years), and old (aged >65 years) patients with metastatic gastrointestinal cancers (GICs), and further determine the role of immunotherapy in young patients.

Superconducting vortices are promising traps to confine non-Abelian Majorana quasi-particles. It has been widely believed that bulk-state topology, of either normal-state or superconducting ground-state wavefunctions, is crucial for enabling Majorana zero modes in solid-state systems. This common belief has shaped two major search directions for Majorana modes, in either intrinsic topological superconductors or trivially superconducting topological materials.

In this Letter, we establish a new theoretical paradigm for vortex Majorana physics in the recently discovered topological iron-based superconductors (TFeSCs). While TFeSCs are widely accepted as an exemplar of topological insulators (TIs) with intrinsic s-wave superconductivity, our theory implies that such a common belief could be oversimplified. Our main finding is that the normal-state bulk Dirac nodes, usually ignored in TI-based vortex Majorana theories for TFeSCs, will play a key role of determining the vortex state topology.
