Purpose: R-spondin3 (RSPO3), a mammalian-specific amplifier of WNT signaling pathway, maintains the homeostasis of various adult stem cells. However, its expression at the limbus and the effect on limbal epithelial stem cells (LESCs) remains unclear. We investigated the impact of RSPO3 on the proliferation and self-renewal of LESCs and explored its molecular mechanisms.

Context: Autoantibodies against IFN-α (AAb-IFN-α) might be associated with the less aggressive autoimmunity in latent autoimmune diabetes in adults (LADA) compared to early-onset type 1 diabetes (T1D).
Objective: To investigate the presence and clinical relevance of the positivity to AAb-IFN-α in people with LADA compared to T1D.
Research Design And Methods: Serum levels of AAb against IFN-α isoforms were measured using a cell-based approach in 41 subjects with LADA and in 90 subjects with T1D.

Aging is a risk factor for several chronic conditions, including intervertebral disc degeneration and associated back pain. Disc pathologies include loss of reticular-shaped nucleus pulposus cells, disorganization of annulus fibrosus lamellae, reduced disc height, and increased disc bulging. Sonic hedgehog, cytokeratin 19, and extracellular matrix proteins are markers of healthy disc.

Background: Recent evidence suggests a crucial biological role for Circular RNAs (circRNAs) in keloid diseases, yet the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. This study explored the biological effects and molecular mechanisms of hsa_circ_0002198 in keloid formation.
Methods: Real-time quantitative PCR (qRT-PCR) was employed to assess the expression of circ_0002198 in keloid tissues, normal skin tissues, keloid fibroblasts (KFs), and normal skin fibroblasts (NFs) from nine patients.

1,3,6,8-Tetrabromocarbazole (1368-BCZ) has been proposed as an emerging environmental contaminant which has aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR) activating properties analogous to those of dioxins. Skeletal muscle development is a critical target of dioxin toxicity. However, the impact of 1368-BCZ on muscle development is inadequately understood.
