Objectives: Human cancer is considered to be an important cause of death worldwide. Polypyrimidine tract binding protein 1 (PTBP1) is emerging as a powerful pro-oncogenic factor in bladder and liver cancer; however, no pan-cancer analysis is presently available. Our study aimed to explore PTBP1 expression profiles, prognostic immunological value, and biological functions across various cancers.

- Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is a chronic condition primarily affecting the nucleus pulposus cells, leading to pain; non-surgical treatments show promise in reversing its effects based on recent literature.
- The study analyzed articles from 1998 to 2022 using bibliometric tools, revealing a growing number of publications, predominantly from North America and Asia, with China and the US leading in authorship.
- Key research areas include mesenchymal stem cells, exosomes, medication, and tissue engineering, although international collaboration among institutions remains limited.
Degenerative intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) is one of the main spinal surgery, conditions, which markedly increases the incidence of low back pain and deteriorates the patient's quality of life, and it imposes significant social and economic burdens. The molecular pathology of IVDD is highly complex and multilateral however still not ompletely understood. New findings indicate that IVDD is closely associated with inflammation, oxidative stress, cell injury and extracellular matrix metabolismdysregulation.

Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and their derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) have regenerative potential and have emerged as promising therapeutic tools for treating degenerative discs. However, challenges such as the harsh microenvironment of degenerated intervertebral discs and EVs' limited stability and efficacy have hindered their clinical application.

- Spinal cord injury (SCI) leads to serious motor, sensory, and autonomic issues, significantly harming patients' quality of life; macrophages play a critical role in modulating inflammation and tissue repair during SCI, but research on their role is limited.
- The study employs bibliometric methods to analyze publications on macrophages in SCI from 2002 to 2023 using the Web of Science database, focusing on key aspects like country contributions, author collaboration, and research trends.
- A total of 1,775 papers were analyzed, revealing a growth in publications primarily from the US and China, but a lack of international collaboration; notable contributors include Popovich PG and key journals such as Experimental Neurology and Journal of Neurotra
Complete chloroplast genome characterization and phylogenetic analysis of (Tenore) Steenis ().
Mitochondrial DNA B Resour
June 2021
Madeira vine ( (Tenore) Steenis) is a widely distributed liana that is also used as a medicinal plant. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome of this species was sequenced and annotated. The complete cp genome sequence of is 156,662 base pairs in length, and the GC content is 36.
