Hypertension, commonly known as high blood pressure, is a significant health issue that increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, stroke, and renal failure. This condition broadly encompasses both primary and secondary forms. Despite extensive research, the underlying mechanisms of systemic arterial hypertension-particularly primary hypertension, which has no identifiable cause and is affected by genetic and lifestyle agents-remain complex and not fully understood.

Single-cell and spatial transcriptomics illuminate bat immunity and barrier tissue evolution.

Bats have adapted to pathogens through diverse mechanisms, including increased resistance - rapid pathogen elimination, and tolerance - limiting tissue damage following infection. In the Egyptian fruit bat (an important model in comparative immunology) several mechanisms conferring disease tolerance were discovered, but mechanisms underpinning resistance remain poorly understood. Previous studies on other species suggested that elevated basal expression of innate immune genes may lead to increased resistance to infection.

Background: Our previous research demonstrated that growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) exhibited superior predictive capability for metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) development with an AUC of 0.86 at 10 years before disease diagnosis. However, the specific pathways and molecular mechanisms associated with GDF15 expression during MASH development remain to be fully investigated in humans.

Deficiency or excess of mineral elements in the environment is a primary factor limiting crop yields and nutritional quality. Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) is an important aquatic crop in Asia, but the mechanism for accumulating mineral nutrients and coping with nutrient deficiency/excess is still largely unknown. Here, we identified NnMTP10, a member of the cation diffusion facilitator family, by screening the cDNA library of lotus.

Anti-cancer effect of midazolam via downregulating YWHAH in papillary thyroid cancer cells.

Discov Oncol

January 2025

Department of Anesthesiology, The First Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, No.1367 Wenyi West Road, Yuhang District, Hangzhou, 311100, People's Republic of China.

The work is aimed to investigate whether midazolam functions in thyroid cancer and reveal the potential mechanism of action. Cell viability was detected by CCK-8 method when treated by varying doses of midazolam to detect the cytotoxicity of midazolam on human thyroid follicular epithelial cell line and thyroid cancer cell lines. In thyroid cancer cells, EDU staining, wound healing and transwell assays were respectively used to detect cell proliferation, migration and invasion.
