Introduction: The notable increase in cases of rhino-orbito-cerebral Mucormycosis during the COVID pandemic is alarming. Both share a common route of entry, the nasal mucosa, leading to speculation about whether similar receptors play a role in both diseases. We aim to compare the expression of ACE2 and TMPRSS2 in the nasal and paranasal sinus tissues among patients with COVID-19-associated Mucormycosis (CAM), COVID-19-negative mucormycosis (CNM), and healthy individuals.

Background: Intervertebral disc degeneration disease (IVDD) is a major cause of disability and reduced work productivity worldwide. Annulus fibrosus degeneration is a key contributor to IVDD, yet its mechanisms remain poorly understood. Autophagy, a vital process for cellular homeostasis, involves the lysosomal degradation of cytoplasmic proteins and organelles.

Background: Radioresistance is a major challenge in the treatment of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) and impairs the efficacy of radiotherapy. The PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway plays a critical role in CRC and contributes to the development of radioresistance. Accordingly, targeting this signaling pathway may be a promising strategy to improve oncotherapy.

Acyl-CoA oxidase 1 (ACOX1), a member of the acyl-coenzyme A oxidase family, is considered a crucial regulator whose dysregulation is implicated in the occurrence and progression of various cancers. This study aims to elucidate the impact of ACOX1 in CRC, shedding light on its potential as a therapeutic target. Through analysis of the GEO dataset, it was found that ACOX1 is significantly downregulated in colorectal cancer (CRC), and this lower expression level is associated with a worse prognosis.

Currently, there is increasing spillover of highly pathogenic H5N1 avian influenza virus (AIV) to mammals, raising a concern of pandemic threat about this virus. Although the function of PA protein of the influenza virus is well understood, the understanding of how phosphorylation regulates this protein and influenza viral life cycle is still limited. We previously identified PA S225 as the phosphorylation site in the highly pathogenic H5N1 AIV.
