Published: November 2012

The clinical success of immunomodulatory thalidomide derivatives has renewed the general interest in immunomodulatory anticancer compounds and prompted us to develop a high-throughput system to quantify immune effector-cell activity. We documented that the interaction between cancer cells, their stroma, anticancer agents and cells from the innate system are critical for determining the response of tumors to immunomodulatory strategies.

Integrating the milk microbiome signatures in mastitis: milk-omics and functional implications.

World J Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

Area of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, OneHealth-UR Research Group, University of La Rioja, 26006, Logroño, Spain.

Mammalian milk contains a variety of complex bioactive and nutritional components and microorganisms. These microorganisms have diverse compositions and functional roles that impact host health and disease pathophysiology, especially mastitis. The advent and use of high throughput omics technologies, including metagenomics, metatranscriptomics, metaproteomics, metametabolomics, as well as culturomics in milk microbiome studies suggest strong relationships between host phenotype and milk microbiome signatures in mastitis.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most prevalent and lethal malignancies worldwide. Despite progress in immunotherapy for cancer treatment, its application and efficacy in ESCC remain limited. Therefore, there is an ongoing need to explore potential molecules and therapeutic strategies related to tumor immunity in ESCC.

Current approaches in CRISPR-Cas system for metabolic disorder.

Prog Mol Biol Transl Sci

January 2025

School of Health Sciences & Technology, UPES, Dehradun, Uttarakhand, India. Electronic address:

A new era in genomic medicine has been brought by the development of CRISPR-Cas technology, which presents hitherto unheard-of possibilities for the treatment of metabolic illnesses. The treatment approaches used in CRISPR/Cas9-mediated gene therapy, emphasize distribution techniques such as viral vectors and their use in preclinical models of metabolic diseases like hypercholesterolemia, glycogen storage diseases, and phenylketonuria. The relevance of high-throughput CRISPR screens for target identification in discovering new genes and pathways associated with metabolic dysfunctions is an important aspect of the discovery of new approaches.

Effects of acute PM purification on cognitive function and underlying mechanisms: Evidence from integrating alternative splicing into multi-omics.

J Hazard Mater

January 2025

Vanke School of Public Health, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China; Institute for Healthy China, Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China. Electronic address:

The relationship between fine particulate matter (PM) and cognition has been extensively investigated. However, the causal impact of acute PM purification on cognition improvement and the underlying biological mechanisms remain relatively opaque. Our double-blinded randomized controlled trial assessed the impact of acute PM purification on executive function, underpinned by multi-omics approaches including alternative splicing (AS) analysis.

Protein-Protein Interactions (PPIs) are a key interface between virus and host, and these interactions are important to both viral reprogramming of the host and to host restriction of viral infection. In particular, viral-host PPI networks can be used to further our understanding of the molecular mechanisms of tissue specificity, host range, and virulence. At higher scales, viral-host PPI screening could also be used to screen for small-molecule antivirals that interfere with essential viral-host interactions, or to explore how the PPI networks between interacting viral and host genomes co-evolve.
