However, the mechanisms underpinning the relationship between attachment type and marital adjustment in breast cancer patients remain unclear. In this study, a cohort of 272 breast cancer patients was surveyed using several instruments: the General Information Questionnaire, Revised Marital Adjustment Scale (RDAS), Adult Attachment Scale (AAS), Interpersonal Reactivity Indicator Scale (IRI), and Regulated Emotional Self-Efficacy Scale (RESS).

Spatial transcriptomic landscape unveils immunoglobin-associated senescence as a hallmark of aging.

To systematically characterize the loss of tissue integrity and organ dysfunction resulting from aging, we produced an in-depth spatial transcriptomic profile of nine tissues in male mice during aging. We showed that senescence-sensitive spots (SSSs) colocalized with elevated entropy in organizational structure and that the aggregation of immunoglobulin-expressing cells is a characteristic feature of the microenvironment surrounding SSSs. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) accumulated across the aged tissues in both male and female mice, and a similar phenomenon was observed in human tissues, suggesting the potential of the abnormal elevation of immunoglobulins as an evolutionarily conserved feature in aging.

IRF3 regulates neuroinflammatory responses and the expression of genes associated with Alzheimer's disease.

The pathological role of interferon signaling is emerging in neuroinflammatory disorders, yet, the specific role of Interferon Regulatory Factor 3 (IRF3) in neuroinflammation remains poorly understood. Here, we show that global IRF3 deficiency delays TLR4-mediated signaling in microglia and attenuates the hallmark features of LPS-induced inflammation such as cytokine release, microglial reactivity, astrocyte activation, myeloid cell infiltration, and inflammasome activation. Moreover, expression of a constitutively active IRF3 (S388D/S390D: IRF3-2D) in microglia induces a transcriptional program reminiscent of the Activated Response Microglia and the expression of genes associated with Alzheimer's disease, notably apolipoprotein-e.

Micro-macro SERS strategy for highly sensitive paper cartridge with trace-level molecular detection.

Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering (SERS) has become a powerful spectroscopic technology for highly sensitive detection. However, SERS is still limited in the lab because it either requires complicated preparation or is limited to specific compounds, causing poor applicability for practical applications. Herein, a micro-macro SERS strategy, synergizing polymer-assisted printed process with paper-tip enrichment process, is proposed to fabricate highly sensitive paper cartridges for sensitive practical applications.
