Using a micro-positron emission tomography (PET)/computerized tomography scanner, we have measured (18)F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake in interscapular brown adipose tissue (iBAT) in C57Bl/6 mice at intervals across a 24-h light-dark cycle. Our data reveal a strong 24-h profile of glucose uptake of iBAT, peaking at ~9 h into the light phase of the 12-h light, 12-h dark day. BAT is increasingly gaining attention as being involved in metabolic phenotypes and obesity, where BAT, as observed by PET analysis, negatively correlates with obesity and age. Conversely, animals that show perturbations in circadian clocks, behavior, and physiology show metabolic phenotypes. The observation of a 24-h rhythm in glucose uptake in iBAT makes this tissue a candidate site of interaction between metabolic and circadian systems.

A-to-I RNA editing is a pervasive mechanism in the human genome that affects the regulation of gene expression and is closely associated with the pathogenesis of numerous diseases. This study elucidates the regulatory mechanism of A-to-I edited miR-1304-3p in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). Western blot, immunohistochemistry, and RT-qPCR assays were employed to quantify protein and mRNA expression.

Background: Immunotherapy that targets immune checkpoints has achieved revolutionary success, but its application in solid tumors remains limited, highlighting the need for reliable enhancement of the efficacy of immunotherapy. Golgi protein 73 (GP73), a Golgi membrane protein, has been implicated in various cellular processes, including immune regulation. Recent studies suggested that GP73 may play a role in modulating the immune response in patients with cancer.

Multi-targeted therapies are gaining attention in the management of multifactorial diseases due to their poly pharmacology, enhanced potency and reduced toxicity. Metabolic disorders like Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and obesity necessitate multi-targeted therapy to improve insulin sensitivity, regulate glucose homeostasis and support weight loss. Medicinal plants rich in bioactive compounds exhibit multi-targetted action with minimal side effects.

Background: Traditionally, transformed cell line monolayers have been the standard model for studying epithelial barrier and transport function. Recently, intestinal organoids were proposed as superior in recapitulating the intestine. Typically, 3D organoids are digested and seeded as monolayers on gelatinous matrix pre-coated surfaces for anchorage.
