Article Synopsis
  • Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is important in cancer biology, influencing tumor behaviors like initiation and metastasis, yet much data on this topic remains untapped.
  • A decade-long analysis of research trends in LLPS shows a significant growth rate of 34.98% and a collaborative global effort, with research categorized into five key clusters focusing on drug delivery, gene regulation, RNA-protein interaction, and more.
  • Emerging insights and analyses highlight super-enhancers and stress granules as key molecules in this realm, with ongoing connections found between phase separation and various cancer-related processes, indicating a rich area for further study.

Background: There is a wealth of poorly utilized unstructured data on lymphoma metabolism, and scientometrics and visualization study could serve as a robust tool to address this issue. Hence, it was implemented.

Methods: After strict quality control, numerous data regarding the lymphoma metabolism were mined, quantified, cleaned, fused, and visualized from documents (n = 2925) limited from 2013 to 2022 using R packages, VOSviewer, and GraphPad Prism.

The members of the GRAS gene family play important roles in regulating plant growth and development, but their functions in regulating early plant maturity traits are still unknown. In this study, we used a series of bioinformatics tools to identify GRAS gene family members and investigate the function of the gene family (GhGRAS55) using a genome-wide database of upland cotton samples. A total of 58 members of the GRAS gene family were identified and screened, which were distributed on 21 chromosomes within the whole cotton genome.

Introduction: Due to the aging of the world population and the increase of obesity rate, it is expected that the number of joint replacement surgery will continue to increase in the next few years. This study evaluated the safety differences between unilateral and bilateral hip replacement surgeries.

Methods: The data for patients who underwent hip arthroplasty in 2021 and 2022 were examined.

Objective: To observe the impacts on the recovery of swallowing function in patients of dysphagia after acute stroke treated with acupuncture and functional electric stimulation.

Methods: Seventy-four patients were randomized into an acupuncture plus electric stimulation group (38 cases) and an electric stimulation group (36 cases). The functional electric stimulator was used in the two groups.

Gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) is the major inhibitory neurotransmitter in the mammalian central nervous system and exerts its actions via ionotropic (GABAA and GABAC) and metabotropic (GABAB) receptors. The GABAB receptor is a dimer composed of R1 and R2 components. In addition to their location on neurons, GABA and functional GABAB receptors also have been detected in some peripheral tissues.
