Nuclear lipids play roles in regulatory processes, such as signaling, transcriptional regulation, and DNA repair. In this report, we demonstrate that nuclear lipids may contribute to Ki-67-regulated chromosome integrity during mitosis. In COS-7 cells, nuclear lipids are enriched at the perichromosomal layer and excluded from intrachromosomal regions during early mitosis but are then detected in intrachromosomal regions during late mitosis, as revealed by TT-ExM (expansion microscopy with trypsin digestion and tyramide signal amplification), an improved expansion microscopy technique that enables high-sensitivity and super-resolution imaging of proteins, lipids, and nuclear DNA.

As a naturally derived inhibitor of autophagy, Kushenol E (KE) is a biprenylated flavonoid and is isolated from , which has been used for the treatment of cancer, hepatitis, and skin diseases. However, KE, as a poorly soluble drug, exhibited strong autophagy regulating activity in in vitro cancer cell lines, but no related studies have reported its antiovarian cancer property. Therefore, it is very beneficial to enhance the antineoplastic properties of KE by establishing an ovarian tumor-targeting nanoparticle system modified with tumor-homing c(RGDfK) peptides.

The development of advanced preclinical models is crucial for the evaluation and validation of novel therapeutic strategies in oncology. Three-dimensional (3D) microtumor models, which incorporate both cancer and stromal cells within biomimetic hydrogels, have emerged as powerful tools that more accurately replicate the complex tumor microenvironment compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell culture systems. In this context, our study aims to develop 3D microtumor models by integrating cancer and stromal cells within an extracellular-matrix-mimetic hydrogel, as a physiologically accurate microtumor model that can serve as an innovative platform for advanced cancer research and drug screening.

The effect of chemotherapy for anti-glioblastoma is limited due to insufficient drug delivery across the blood-brain-barrier. Poloxamer 188-coated nanoparticles can enhance the delivery of nanoparticles across the blood-brain-barrier. This study presents the design, preparation, and evaluation of a combination of PLGA nanoparticles (PLGA NPs) loaded with methotrexate (P-MTX NPs) and PLGA nanoparticles loaded with paclitaxel (P-PTX NPs), both of which were surface-modified with poloxamer188.

The individualization of chromosomes during early mitosis and their clustering upon exit from cell division are two key transitions that ensure efficient segregation of eukaryotic chromosomes. Both processes are regulated by the surfactant-like protein Ki-67, but how Ki-67 achieves these diametric functions has remained unknown. Here, we report that Ki-67 radically switches from a chromosome repellent to a chromosome attractant during anaphase in human cells.
