AI Article Synopsis

  • Mouse ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) consists of cuboidal epithelial cells that regulate hormone enzyme secretion and transport, and is linked to ovarian cancer.
  • Recent research explores the role of the death-associated protein DAXX and PML nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) in OSE cells, particularly their impact on transcription and cell death.
  • Findings indicate that removing DAXX speeds up cellular aging and DNA damage in mouse OSE cells, suggesting it could be a potential target for cancer treatment.

Article Abstract

Mouse ovarian surface epithelium (OSE) is a single layer of cubodial epithelial cells that covers the ovary surface and is involved in regulating the secretion and transport of 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase. Recently, OSE cells have attracted particular interest as a major source of ovarian cancer. Death-associated protein DAXX along with PML (promyelocytic leukemia protein) nuclear bodies (PML-NBs) reportedly play roles in transcriptional regulation and apoptosis. However, little is known regarding a role for DAXX in mOSE cells. In this study, we both over-expressed DAXX and depleted DAXX in primary mOSE cells. We found that Daxx deletion accelerated senescence in a p53/p21-dependent manner and promoted DNA damage by interacting with PML bodies without affecting cell cycle progression. These results suggest that DAXX may transform mOSE cells to an ovarian oncogenic phenotype and may be an anti-cancer target.

Skin wound healing is a physiological process orchestrated by epithelial and mesenchymal cells able to restore tissue continuity by re-organizing themselves and the ECM. This research study aimed to develop an optimized in vitro experimental model of full-thickness skin, to address molecular and morphological modifications occurring in the re-epithelization and wound healing process. Wound healing starting events were investigated within an experimental window of 8 days at the molecular level by gene expression and immunofluorescence of key epidermal and dermal biomarkers.

In this study, we explore the photovoltaic performance of an innovative high efficiency heterostructure utilizing the quaternary semiconductor CuFeSnSe (CFTSe). This material features a kesterite symmetrical structure and is distinguished by its non-toxic nature and abundant presence in the earth's crust. Utilizing the SCAPS simulator, we explore various electrical specifications such as short circuit current (J), open circuit voltage (V), the fill factor (FF), and power conversion efficiency (PCE) were explored at a large range of thicknesses, and the acceptor carrier concentration doping (N).

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains one of the deadliest solid cancers; thus, identifying more effective therapies is a major unmet need. In this study, we characterized the super enhancer (SE) landscape of human PDAC to identify drivers of the disease that might be targetable. This analysis revealed MICAL2 as a super enhancer-associated gene in human PDAC, which encodes the flavin monooxygenase MICAL2 that induces actin depolymerization and indirectly promotes SRF transcription by modulating the availability of serum response factor coactivators myocardin-related transcription factors (MRTF-A and MRTF-B).

Conversion-type selenium cathodes are considered a highly promising alternative to sulfur cathodes due to their high conductivity and similar theoretical capacity. However, stress-diffusion and shuttle effects during the conversion process remain significant challenges that urgently need to be addressed. Herein, a composite matrix of MoSe anchored on the surface of N-doped hollow mesoporous carbon nanospheres (NHMCNS) was designed as a Se host to construct Se/C cathodes (Se/MoSe@NHMCNS).
