In this study, the role of phosphorylation in the liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of tau, the underlying driving forces, and the potential implications of this separation on protein conformation and subsequent protein aggregation were investigated. We compared in vivo-produced phosphorylated tau (p-tau) and nonphosphorylated tau under different coacervation conditions without adding crowding agents. Our findings revealed that spontaneous phase separation occurs exclusively in p-tau, triggered by a temperature shift from 4 °C to room temperature, and is driven by electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions.

Radiological accidents/incidents are common with nearly 400 reported since 1944 exposing about 3000 people to substantial doses of ionizing radiations with 127 deaths. Damage to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells with resulting bone marrow failure is a common consequence of exposure to whole body acute high-dose and -dose-rate ionizing radiations and is termed hematopoietic-acute radiation syndrome, or H-ARS. Therapy of H-ARS includes transfusions, anti-bacterial and -viral drugs, molecularly-cloned hematopoietic growth factors and hematopoietic cell transplants.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a leading cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide. This study aimed to explore the role of hsa-miR-101-3p in HCC pathogenesis by identifying key genes and pathways. A comprehensive bioinformatics analysis revealed twelve hub genes (ETNK1, BICRA, IL1R1, KDM3A, ARID2, GSK3β, EZH2, NOTCH1, SMARCA4, FOS, CREB1, and CASP3) and highlighted their involvement in crucial oncogenic pathways, including PI3K/Akt, mTOR, MAPK, and TGF-β.

Background: Externally caused traumatic brain injury (TBI) poses a woeful worldwide health concern, bringing about disability, death, and prolonged neurological impairment. Increased galectin-3 levels have been linked to unfavorable outcomes in several neurological conditions. This study explores the role of galectin-3 in TBI, specifically examining its contribution to neuroinflammation.

Ki67 as a proliferation marker plays a critical role in assessing cellular activity in various pathological tissues, including cystic lesions. Odontogenic keratocysts (OKCs) and radicular cysts (RCs) are two common types of jaw cysts that exhibit distinct biological behaviors, particularly in their proliferative patterns. OKCs are known for their aggressive nature and high recurrence rate, while RCs are typically less aggressive and exhibit lower recurrence risk.
