Film cognition explores the influence of cinematic elements, such as editing and film color, on viewers' perception. The Kuleshov effect, a famous example of how editing influences viewers' emotional perception, was initially proposed to support montage theory through the Kuleshov experiment. This effect, which has since been recognized as a manifestation of point-of-view (POV) editing practices, posits that the emotional interpretation of neutral facial expressions is influenced by the accompanying emotional scene in a face-scene-face sequence.

Transcription factor EB (TFEB) regulates autophagosome biogenesis and lysosome function, and promoting TFEB activity has emerged as a potential strategy for the treatment of metabolic disorders. Herein, we report that cetrimonium bromide (CTAB; a quaternary ammonium compound) promotes autophagy and lysosomal biogenesis by inducing the nuclear translocation of TFEB in hepatic cells.

Piperlongumine (PL), a plant alkaloid, is known to selectively kill tumor cells while sparing normal cells. However, the mechanism of PL-induced cancer cell death is not fully understood.

The transcription factor EB (TFEB) regulates the biogenesis and function of both lysosomes and autophagosomes, and enhancement of TFEB function has emerged as an attractive therapeutic strategy for lysosome-related disorders. However, little is known about the role of TFEB activation in regulating the cellular fate.
