In this paper, we study nonlinear Kramers problem by investigating overdamped systems ruled by the one-dimensional nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation. We obtain an analytic expression for the Kramers escape rate under quasistationary conditions by employing a metastable potential and its predictions are in excellent agreement with numerical simulations. The results exhibit the anomalies due to the nonlinearity in W that the escape rate grows with D and drops as mu becomes large at a fixed D. Indeed, particles in the subdiffusive media (mu>1) can escape over the barrier only when D is above a critical value, while this confinement does not exist in the superdiffusive media (mu<1).

Aluminum is a well-known and widely distributed environmental neurotoxin. This study aimed to investigate the effect of miR-98-5p targeting insulin-like growth factor 2 (IGF2) on aluminum neurotoxicity. Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups and administered 0, 10, 20, and 40 μmol/kg maltol aluminum [Al(mal)], respectively.

Human challenge experiments could accelerate tuberculosis vaccine development. This requires a safe Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) strain that can both replicate in the host and be reliably cleared. Here we genetically engineered Mtb strains encoding up to three kill switches: two mycobacteriophage lysin operons negatively regulated by tetracycline and a degron domain-NadE fusion, which induces ClpC1-dependent degradation of the essential enzyme NadE, negatively regulated by trimethoprim.

Lung cancer is the malignant tumor with the highest morbidity and mortality rate worldwide, of which non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for approximately 85%. KRAS mutations are one of the significant mechanisms underlying the occurrence, development, immune escape, and chemotherapy resistance of NSCLC. Two KRAS inhibitors are approved by FDA for the treatment of NSCLC in the past three years.

Background: Ovarian function suppression (OFS) has emerged as a crucial adjuvant therapy for premenopausal breast cancer patients. Some patients fail to achieve complete OFS with commonly used OFS drugs. The definition of incomplete OFS remains unclear, and large-scale data on its incidence are lacking.

Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is a skin cancer that arises due to either Merkel cell polyomavirus infection (MCPyV) or ultraviolet (UV) radiation exposure, presenting primarily in the head and neck region of fair-skinned males. The recent success of PD-(L)1 immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in locally advanced/metastatic MCC, with an objective response rate (ORR) around 50% and improved survival, as a first-line treatment has moved ICIs to the forefront of therapy for MCC and generated interest in identifying biomarkers to predict clinical response. The MCC tumour microenvironment (TME) contains various components of the adaptive and innate immune system.
