Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a malignant and life-threatening tumor with an extremely poor prognosis, posing a significant global health challenge. Despite the continuous emergence of novel therapeutic agents, patients exhibit substantial heterogeneity in their responses to anti-tumor drugs and overall prognosis. The pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) is highly activated in various tumor cells and plays a pivotal role in tumor metabolic reprogramming.

In this article, we present an approach to maximizing the splicing regulatory properties of splice-switching oligonucleotide (SSO) designed to regulate alternative splicing of PKM pre-mRNA. The studied SSO interacts with the regulatory element in exon 10 of PKM pre-mRNA and contributes to a significant reduction of PKM2 level with a simultaneous increase of the PKM1 isoform. This SSO forms a duplex not only with the regulatory fragment of exon 10 but also with a similar RNA fragment of intron 9.

X-ray induced photodynamic therapy (X-PDT) leverages penetrating X-ray to generate singlet oxygen (O) for treating deep-seated tumors. However, conventional X-PDT typically relies on heavy metal inorganic scintillators and organic photosensitizers to produce O, which presents challenges related to toxicity and energy conversion efficiency. In this study, highly biocompatible organic phosphorescent nanoscintillators based on hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOF) are designed and engineered, termed BPT-HOF@PEG, to enhance X-PDT in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) treatment.

Despite significant strides in anti-melanoma therapies, resistance and recurrence remain major challenges. A deeper understanding of the underlying biology of these challenges is necessary for developing more effective treatment paradigms. Melanoma single-cell data were retrieved from the Broad Single Cell Portal (SCP11).

Background: The relationship between gut microbiota composition, lifestyles, and colonic transit time (CTT) remains poorly understood. This study investigated associations among gut microbiota profiles, diet, lifestyles, and CTT in individuals with subjective constipation.
Methods: We conducted a secondary analysis of data from our randomized clinical trial, examining gut microbiota composition, CTT, and dietary intake in baseline and final assessments of 94 participants with subjective constipation.
