Ovarian cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, exhibiting a certain sensitivity to chemotherapy drugs like gemcitabine (GEM). This study, through the analysis of ovarian cancer single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) data and transcriptome data post-GEM treatment, identifies the pivotal role of hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) in regulating the treatment process. The results reveal that HIF-1α modulates the expression of VEGF-B, thereby inhibiting the fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2)/FGFR1 signaling pathway and impacting tumor formation.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) is an inheritable skeletal disorder characterized by bone fragility often caused by pathogenic variants in the COL1A1 gene. Current OI mouse models with a glycine substitution in Col1a1 exhibit excessive severity, thereby limiting long-term pathophysiological analysis and drug effect assessments. To address this limitation, we constructed a novel OI mouse model mimicking a patient with OI type III.

Background: Synucleinopathies lack cures. Antibody therapies targeting α-synuclein aim to inhibit aggregation and enhance degradation, but have limited brain entry because of size (150kDa). Smaller single-domain antibodies (sdAbs, 15kDa) have substantially improved brain uptake.

Background: The orexin/hypocretin neuropeptide system, primarily found in the lateral hypothalamus and perifornical region, modulates sleep, wakefulness, appetite, and cognitive function. One region with dense orexinergic projections is the basal forebrain (BF), which is the major source of acetylcholine in the neocortex and limbic structures such as the hippocampus. The basal forebrain cholinergic system mediates cognition and dysfunction is one of the key hallmarks of Alzheimer's disease.

Background: Excessive high-fat diet (HFD) consumption develops the obese pre-diabetic condition, which initiates neuroinflammation and numerous brain pathologies, resulting in cognitive decline (1). A cinnamamide derivative compound (2i-10) is recently identified as a novel myeloid differentiation factor 2 (MD-2) inhibitor, and has been shown to attenuate inflammation via toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway (2). However, the effects of 2i-10 on the neuroinflammation, brain pathologies and cognitive function in the obese pre-diabetic rats have never been studied.
