PKR-like kinase (PERK) plays a significant role in inducing angiogenesis in various cancer types including glioblastoma. By proteomics analysis of the conditioned medium from a glioblastoma cell line treated with a PERK inhibitor, we showed that peptidylglycine α-amidating monooxygenase (PAM) expression is regulated by PERK under hypoxic conditions. Moreover, PERK activation via CCT020312 (a PERK selective activator) increased the cleavage and thus the generation of PAM cleaved cytosolic domain (PAM sfCD) that acts as a signaling molecule from the cytoplasm to the nuclei. PERK was also found to interact with PAM, suggesting a possible involvement in the generation of PAM sfCD. Knockdown of PERK or PAM reduced the formation of tubes by HUVECs in vitro. Furthermore, in vivo data highlighted the importance of PAM in the growth of glioblastoma with reduction of PAM expression in engrafted tumor significantly increasing the survival in mice. In summary, our data revealed PAM as a potential target for antiangiogenic therapy in glioblastoma.

The direct application of cold plasmas at atmospheric pressure, corresponding to partially ionized gases, is an emerging technology with a number of potential biomedical applications, including the decontamination of surgical devices. A new derived and easier to implement method has recently been developed: the use of cold atmospheric plasma-activated media (PAM). Numerous preclinical studies and in vitro models indicates that PAM treatments facilitate wound healing by promoting keratinocytes and fibroblasts migration, stimulating angiogenesis, and inhibiting bacterial proliferation, all of which are essential for this vital process.

Background: Health care providers often struggle to treat patients with chronic pain. One potential solution is to facilitate access to programs and tools that develop patients' skills and confidence in managing their own care.
Aims: This study aimed to describe the uptake of the Chronic Pain Self-Management Program (CPSMP) in Eastern Ontario and evaluate the effectiveness of the program in the acquisition of knowledge, confidence, and skills required to manage chronic pain, as measured by the Patient Activation Measure (PAM).

Dopamine can play opposing physiological roles depending on the receptor subtype. In the fruit fly , and encode the D- and D-like receptors, respectively, and are reported to oppositely regulate intracellular cAMP levels. Here, we profiled the expression and subcellular localization of endogenous Dop1R1 and Dop2R in specific cell types in the mushroom body circuit.

Detection and imaging of dual miRNAs based on AND logic gates can improve the accuracy of the early diagnosis of disease. However, a single target may lead to false positive. Hence, this work rationally integrates hyperbranched rolling circle amplification (HRCA) with Cas12a by replacing the PAM sequence with a bubble to sensitively detect and image miRNA-10b and miRNA-21 based on the AND logic gate.

However, the intrinsic limitations of silica-based standard single-mode fiber (SMF) will ultimately be insufficient to meet these escalating demands. The nested antiresonant nodeless fiber (NANF), a newly designed hollow-core fiber, has garnered significant attention as a potential solution to these challenges.
