Published: May 2016

Oudin and colleagues report a novel and specific function of MENA in mediating directional migration of breast cancer cells toward a fibronectin gradient of increasing concentration. This MENA-mediated haptotactic response depends on the binding of MENA to the α5β1 integrin receptor, adhesion protein signaling, and fibronectin fibrillogenesis. Cancer Discov; 6(5); 474-6. ©2016 AACRSee related article by Oudin et al., p. 516.

We examined the relationship between socioeconomic status (SES) and endorsement of honour. We studied the SES-honour link in 5 studies (N = 13,635) with participants recruited in different world regions (the Mediterranean and MENA, East Asian, South-East Asian, and Anglo-Western regions) using measures that tap into various different facets of honour. Findings from these studies revealed that individuals who subjectively perceived themselves as belonging to a higher (vs.

The Role of the Cytoskeletal Regulatory Protein, Mammalian Enabling Protein (Mena), in Invasion and Metastasis of HPV16-Related Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma.

Cells

November 2024

Key Laboratory of Shaanxi Province for Craniofacial Precision Medicine Research, College of Stomatology, Xi'an Jiaotong University, Xi'an 710004, China.

Background: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of mammalian-enabled protein (Mena) on invasion and metastasis of HPV16-related oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) and the underlying mechanism.

Materials And Methods: The Mena gene expression profile of HPV-related OSCC was analyzed from the TCGA, GEO and TIMER databases. Immunohistochemistry was performed to study Mena, and the expression of invasion and metastasis-related markers and their clinicopathological characteristics.

Mechanism of microplastics promoting sulfamethoxazole biodegradation in activated sludge as revealed by DNA-stable isotope probing.

Sci Total Environ

December 2024

Guangdong Laboratory for Lingnan Modern Agriculture, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Agricultural & Rural Pollution Abatement and Environmental Safety, College of Natural Resources and Environment, South China Agricultural University, Guangzhou 510642, PR China; School of Environmental Science and Engineering, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangzhou 510006, PR China. Electronic address:

Microplastics (MPs) often coexist with sulfonamide antibiotics (SAs) in the activated sludge of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Microbial degradation is a crucial pathway for SAs removal in the activated sludge, though its response to MPs still yet to be disclosed. Here, we combined DNA-stable isotope probing (DNA-SIP), PICRUSt and MENA techniques to explore the impact of MPs on the microbial biodegradation of sulfamethoxazole (SMX) in the activated sludge.

Background: Liver cancer (LivCa) is a growing concern in the MENA region, driven by diverse factors, including viral hepatitis, lifestyle-related risks, and other causes.

Methods: Utilizing GBD 2019 data, we assessed LivCa patterns, emphasizing chronic viral hepatitis, non-viral factors, and health care disparities across the MENA region.

Results: Rising LivCa rates, particularly related to chronic viral hepatitis, highlight the region's health challenges.

Article Synopsis
  • This study focuses on evaluating preparedness tools for responding to chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) incidents specifically in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
  • An online survey involving disaster medicine experts helped assess the effectiveness of CBRN response flowcharts, training scenarios, and preparedness assessment tools through statistical methods and AI techniques.
  • Results showed strong agreement among experts on the validity of these tools, indicating they can effectively enhance response strategies for CBRN incidents across various regions.
