Ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme E2T (UBE2T), a member of the E2 family, was found to be overexpressed in a great many cancers such as bladder cancer, lung cancer, and prostate cancer. However, there have been no reports on the role of UBE2T in osteosarcoma. In this study, we tried to make the effects of UBE2T on osteosarcoma clear. The study results showed that UBE2T was overexpressed in osteosarcoma tissues and cell lines. Moreover, UBE2T knockdown inhibited osteosarcoma cell proliferation, migration, and invasion. We also observed that UBE2T downregulation could suppress the activity of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Therefore, we concluded that UBE2T exerted its inhibitory effects on osteosarcoma cells via suppressing the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. These findings indicated that UBE2T may be a potential therapeutic target for osteosarcoma treatment.

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.

The widely used Radix Astragali (RA) has significant therapeutic effects on cognitive impairment (CI) caused by type 2 diabetes (T2DM). However, the effective active ingredients and the precise mechanism underly RA alleviation of T2DM-induced CI still require further study. In this study, we aim to elucidate whether and how jaranol, a key effective active ingredient in RA, influences CI in db/db mice.

Monotherapy with anti-programmed cell death protein 1 (PD-1) monoclonal antibody has been approved for the treatment of advanced non-small cell lung cancer with positive programmed cell death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression and oncogene wild type, which revealed survival benefit compared with chemotherapy. Nevertheless, certain patients develop rapid progression on anti-PD-1 inhibitor monotherapy. This novel pattern is called hyperprogressive disease (HPD), and the underlying mechanism and molecular characteristics still leaves not clear.

The etiology and pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) are complex, and currently, no comprehensive treatment measures exist. In this study, we initially utilized ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography with quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (UHPLC-QE-MS) to profile the bioactive constituents of SZLOL present in the bloodstream. Subsequent Y-maze experimental data demonstrated that SZLOL could ameliorate short-term memory deficits in APP/PS1 mice.

Surface nano-modification has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance osseointegration of titanium (Ti) implants. Despite its promise, rational optimization of surface nanomorphology for ameliorated osseointegration remains a significant challenge. Our research pioneering developed a one-step alkali etching technique to produce a gradient nanowire coating with continuously varied dimensions on Ti surfaces, which was subsequently served as a versatile platform for high-throughput screening of optimal dimensions to enhance osseointegration.
