Volatile sulfur compounds, such as dimethyl sulfide (DMS), carbonyl sulfide (OCS), and carbon disulfide (CS), significantly influence atmospheric chemistry and climate change. Despite the oceans being an important source of these sulfides, the limited understanding of their biogeochemical cycles in seawater introduces considerable uncertainties in quantifying their oceanic emissions and assessing atmospheric OCS budgets. To address this issue, we conducted a comprehensive field survey in the tropical eastern Indian Ocean (EIO) to examine the spatial distributions, source-sink dynamics, and sea-air exchange fluxes of marine DMS, OCS, and CS.

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a heterogeneous subtype of breast cancer that displays highly aggressive with poor prognosis. Yanghe Decoction (YHD) has been used in the treatment of breast cancer for many years. We aimed to explore the effects of YHD on the malignant phenotypes of MDA-MB-231 cells and the potential mechanism related to PPARγ, autophagy and ferroptosis.

Despite the crucial role of oceans in regulating their atmospheric budgets, our comprehension of their cycles in seawater remains insufficient. To address this gap, a field investigation was conducted in the western North Pacific to clarify the sources, sinks, and biogeochemical controls of these gases in two different marine environments, including relatively eutrophic Kuroshio-Oyashio extension (KOE) and oligotrophic North Pacific subtropical gyre.

The non-volatile magnetoresistive random access memory (MRAM) is believed to facilitate emerging applications, such as in-memory computing, neuromorphic computing and stochastic computing. Two-dimensional (2D) materials and their van der Waals heterostructures promote the development of MRAM technology, due to their atomically smooth interfaces and tunable physical properties. Here we report the all-2D magnetoresistive memories featuring all-electrical data reading and writing at room temperature based on WTe/FeGaTe/BN/FeGaTe heterostructures.

Recent studies have revealed the crucial characters of miRNA and genes, as well as the essential roles of epigenetic regulation in breast cancer initiation and progression. In our previous study, miR-142-3p was identified as a tumor suppressor and led to G2/M arrest through targeting CDC25C.

We also conducted deck incubation experiments to investigate the effects of atmospheric aerosol deposition on NMHCs production. The marine NMHCs displayed an increasing trend from the South Equatorial Current to the Oyashio Current.

It was reported that sprouting of sympathetic nerve fibers into the dorsal root ganglion (DGR) and neurogenic inflammation were related to neuropathic pain, the excitability of neurons, and afferents. The purpose of the study was to explore the potential and mechanism of electroacupuncture (EA) at Zusanli (ST36) for the intervention of colon inflammation and hyperalgesia.

Yet, our understanding of their genetic structure patterns remains poorly understood. Investigating the genetic differentiation patterns of pelagic and clarifying the potential roles of temperature maintaining this pattern are crucial for our understanding of the distribution and biodiversity of pelagic macrobenthos.

Background: Breast cancer is the major cause of death in females globally. Chemokine-like factor like MARVEL transmembrane domain containing 7 (CMTM7) is reported as a tumor suppressor and is involved in epidermal growth factor receptor degradation and PI3K/AKT signaling in previous studies. However, other molecular mechanisms of CMTM7 remain unclear.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFTamoxifen is commonly used for the treatment of patients with estrogen receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, but the acquired resistance to tamoxifen presents a critical challenge of breast cancer therapeutics. Recently, long noncoding RNA MIR497HG and its embedded miR-497 and miR-195 are proved to play significant roles in many types of human cancers, but their roles in tamoxifen-resistant breast cancer remain unknown. The results indicate that MIR497HG deficiency induces breast cancer progression and tamoxifen resistance by inducing downregulation of miR-497/195.
