Introduction: T helper 17 (Th17) cells have a significant effect in the pathogenesis of asthma, and signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) pathway activation is critical for Th17 cell differentiation. Timosaponin A-III (TA3) was reported to inhibit the STAT3 pathway. Here, we investigated whether TA3 improved asthma by inhibiting the STAT3 pathway.

Older individuals experience increased susceptibility and mortality to bacterial infections, but the underlying etiology remains unclear. Herein, it is shown that aging-associated reduction of commensal Parabacteroides goldsteinii (P. goldsteinii) in both aged mice and humans critically contributes to worse outcomes of bacterial infection.

Tendinopathy is an aging-related disease, often caused by micro-scarring and degeneration due to overuse or trauma. Ascorbic acid (vitamin C) supplementation is reported to be a useful treatment for tendinopathy recovery. We compared the inhibitory effects of various ascorbic acid doses on tendon cell damage.

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) represents a severe skin cancer with a rising incidence at present and limited treatment options. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used, including for CM; however, the innate resistance of this cancer to conventional therapy remains problematic. Quercetin (QUE) is a flavonoid that can sensitize cancer cells to antitumor agents such as 5-FU.

Background: Altered gene expression in cancers holds great potential to improve the diagnostics and differentiation of primary and metastatic liver cancers. In this study, the expression of the protein-coding genes ring finger protein 135 (), ephrin-B2 (), ring finger protein 125 (), homeobox-C 4 (), actin-binding LIM protein 1 () and oncostatin M receptor () and the long non-coding RNAs (lncRNA) prospero homeobox 1 antisense RNA 1 () and leukemia inhibitory factor receptor antisense RNA 1 () was investigated in hepatocellular carcinoma, cholangiocarcinoma, colorectal liver metastases and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma liver metastases.
Methods: This study included 149 formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded samples from 80 patients.
