Canine mammary tumors as a promising adjunct preclinical model for human breast cancer research: similarities, opportunities, and challenges.

Arch Pharm Res

January 2025

Laboratory of Biochemistry and Immunology, College of Veterinary Medicine, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju, 28644, Republic of Korea.

Despite significant progress in the field of human breast cancer research and treatment, there is a consistent increase in the incidence rate of 0.5 percent annually, posing challenges in the development of effective novel therapeutic strategies. The failure rate of drugs in clinical trials stands at approximately 95%, primarily attributed to the limitations and lack of reliability of existing preclinical models, such as mice, which do not mimic human tumor biology.

Regulatory Roles of SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodeling Complexes in Immune Response and Inflammatory Diseases.

Clin Rev Allergy Immunol

December 2024

Department of Dermatology, Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, 88 Jiefang Road, Hangzhou, 310009, People's Republic of China.

The switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin remodeling complexes (also referred to as BAF complexes) are composed of multiple subunits, which regulate the nucleosome translocation and chromatin accessibility. In recent years, significant advancements have been made in understanding mutated genes encoding subunits of the SWI/SNF complexes in cancer biology. Nevertheless, the role of SWI/SNF complexes in immune response and inflammatory diseases continues to attract significant attention.

In vitro metabolism of seven arolyl-derived fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances.

Arch Toxicol

January 2025

School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Guangxi University, Nanning, Guangxi, 530004, People's Republic of China.

Over the past decade, fentanyl-type new psychoactive substances (F-NPS) have emerged as the most representative synthetic opioids in third-generation drugs. These substances are characterized by their "low" fatal dose and parent drug levels in biological matrices, "fast" rates of derivatization and metabolism, and "many" derivatization sites and analogs. The low levels of parent fentanyl NPS in biological matrices complicate their detection, necessitating the use of characteristic metabolites as biomarkers for forensic analysis.

Nanostructural Analysis of Age-Related Changes Affecting Human Dentin.

Calcif Tissue Int

January 2025

Department of Periodontology, Division of Oral Biology and Disease Control, Osaka University Graduate School of Dentistry, Osaka, Japan.

Human dentin performs its function throughout life, even though it is not remodeled like bone. Therefore, dentin must have extreme durability against daily repetitive loading. Elucidating its durability requires a comprehensive understanding of its shape, structure, and anisotropy at various levels of its structure.

Towards effective functionalization of nanopores/nanochannels: the role of amidation reactions.

Chem Commun (Camb)

January 2025

State Key Laboratory of Biogeology and Environmental Geology, Engineering Research Center of Nano-Geomaterials of Ministry of Education, Faculty of Materials Science and Chemistry, China University of Geosciences, Wuhan 430074, China.

In recent years, researchers have drawn inspiration from natural ion channels to develop various artificial nanopores/nanochannels, including solid-state and biological. Through imitating the precise selectivity and single molecule sensing exhibited by natural ion channels, nanopores/nanochannels have been widely used in many fields, such as analyte detection, gene sequencing and so on. In these applications, the surface functionalization of nanopores/nanochannels directly determines the effectiveness in quantitative analysis and single molecule detection.
