The effect of the hormone-like estrogen-progestagen preparation megestranol and of megestranol-spasmolytin combination on the activity of metabolic processes in the uterine mucous membrane was studied in experiments on rats. Results of cytochemical studies showed megestranol and megestranol-spasmolytin combination to change the metabolic activity of the uterine mucous membrane resulting in a decrease in the RNA content in the epithelial cells of the endometrial glands, thereby creating conditions preventing normal implantation and development of the fertilized ovum.

Background: Fibrosis of the connective tissue in the vaginal wall predominates in pelvic organ prolapse (POP), which is characterized by excessive fibroblast-to-myofibroblast differentiation and abnormal deposition of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Our study aimed to investigate the effect of ECM stiffness on vaginal fibroblasts and to explore the role of methyltransferase 3 (METTL3) in the development of POP.
Methods: Polyacrylamide hydrogels were applied to create an ECM microenvironment with variable stiffness to evaluate the effects of ECM stiffness on the proliferation, differentiation, and expression of ECM components in vaginal fibroblasts.

The basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factors (TFs) play important roles in various plant developmental and biological processes. However, the precise mechanisms by which bHLH TFs regulate fruit ripening warrant further investigation. Polyamine oxidase (PAO) is crucial for polyamine (PA) catabolism and plays crucial roles in fruit ripening.

Thioredoxin z (TRX z) plays a significant role in chloroplast development by regulating the transcription of chloroplast genes. In this study, we identified a pentatricopeptide repeat (PPR) protein, rice albino seedling-lethal (RAS), that interacts with OsTRX z. This interaction was initially discovered by using a yeast two-hybrid (Y2H) screening technique and was further validated through Y2H and bimolecular fluorescence complementation (BiFC) experiments.

: Ulcerative colitis (UC), a chronic inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is characterized by colorectal immune infiltration and significant microbiota compositional changes. Gut microbiota homeostasis is necessary to maintain the healthy state of humans. MR2938, a quinazolin-4(3H)-one derivative derived from the marine natural product penipanoid C, alleviated DSS-induced colitis in a dose-dependent manner.

Lung cancer is the primary cause of cancer-related deaths. Most patients are typically diagnosed at advanced stages. Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) has been proven to reduce lung cancer mortality, but screening programs using LDCT are associated with a high number of false positives and unnecessary thoracotomies.
