Background: COVID-19 drastically affected healthcare services world-wide. In the UK, many cancer services were overwhelmed as oncology staff were reassigned, and cancer diagnoses and treatments were delayed. The impact of these pressures on end-of-life care for patients with advanced cancer and their relatives is not well understood.

N-acetyltransferase 10 (NAT10) is a member of the Gcn5-related N-acetyltransferase (GNAT) family and it plays a crucial role in various cellular processes, such as regulation of cell mitosis, post-DNA damage response, autophagy and apoptosis regulation, ribosome biogenesis, RNA modification, and other related pathways through its intrinsic protein acetyltransferase and RNA acetyltransferase activities. Moreover, NAT10 is closely associated with the pathogenesis of tumors, Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS), systemic lupus erythematosus, pulmonary fibrosis, depression and host-pathogen interactions. In recent years, mRNA acetylation has emerged as a prominent focus of research due to its pivotal role in regulating RNA stability and translation.

Outer membrane (OM) lipoproteins serve vital roles in Gram-negative bacteria, contributing to their pathogenicity and drug resistance. For these lipoproteins to function, they must be transported from the inner membrane (IM), where they are assembled, to the OM by the ABC transporter LolCDE. We have previously captured structural snapshots of LolCDE in multiple states, revealing its dynamic conformational changes.

Healthcare providers must consider the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual aspects of care when engaging in ACP, respecting patient autonomy and individual values. Effective communication skills and an understanding of behavioral economics are essential for navigating these discussions, particularly in the home care setting where family caregivers face unique challenges.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are small membrane-bound structures that play important roles in intercellular communication and the transfer of biomolecules between cells. EVs have become a topic of interest for research in translational proteomics for disease biomarker discovery due to their ability to reflect changes in the cellular proteome, including diseases affecting the brain. Utilizing the proteome analysis of EVs to its fullest potential requires proper isolation and purity.
