FoxO transcription factors act at the interconnections between metabolic pathways inducible by many important signal transducers and mediators, such as p53, Ikk-β, NFKB, Akt, sirtuins, PTEN, and others. This may account for a crucial significance of disruptions in FoxO functions both in many kinds of diseases (including cancer, chronic inflammatory diseases, degenerative diseases, obesity, polymetabolic syndrome) and in some disease-like conditions (such as inflammaging, cachexia related to chronic inflammation, cancer-promotion by some chronic inflammatory responses, and the aging process itself). This paper reviews complex interactions between FoxOs and other signal transducers, trying to pinpoint how exactly disruptions of FoxO functions may occur, and how they may contribute to occurrence, development or complications of the conditions mentioned above.

DFNA1 (deafness, nonsyndromic autosomal dominant 1), initially identified as nonsyndromic sensorineural hearing loss, has been associated with an additional symptom: macrothrombocytopenia. However, the timing of the onset of hearing loss (HL) and thrombocytopenia has not been investigated, leaving it unclear which occurs earlier. Here, we generated a knock-in (KI) DFNA1 mouse model, diaphanous-related formin 1 (DIA1), in which Aequorea coerulescens green fluorescent protein (AcGFP)-tagged human DIA1(p.

Background: It has been proposed that repeated exposure of bronchial epithelial cells to atmospheric particulate matter (PM) could disrupt airway epithelial integrity and lead to epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ultimately airway remodeling. The molecular mechanisms underlying PM-related bronchial epithelial EMT have not yet been elucidated. The aim of this research is to clarify the molecular mechanism of EMT upon PM exposure.

The development of minimally invasive and reliable electrode probes for neural signal recording is crucial for advancing neuroscience and treating major brain disorders. Flexible neural probes offer superior long-term recording capabilities over traditional rigid probes. This study introduces a parylene-based serpentine electrode probe for stable, long-term neural monitoring.

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a notoriously aggressive primary brain tumor characterized by elevated recurrence rates and poor overall survival despite multimodal treatment. Local treatment strategies for GBM are safer and more effective alternatives to systemic chemotherapy, directly tackling residual cancer cells in the resection cavity by circumventing the blood-brain barrier. Molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) are promising drug delivery systems due to their high-affinity binding cavities that enable tailored release kinetics.

Bromoxynil (BML) is a toxic herbicide that is reported to cause various organ toxicities. However, there is not a single investigation conducted to elucidate the adverse impacts of BML on hepatic tissues at different dose concentrations. Therefore, the current investigation was planned to assess the deleterious effects of BML on liver against different dose concentrations.
