Polyamines have been implicated in skin tumorigenesis; however, their role in epidermal homeostasis remains obscure. In a new article in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology, Rahim et al. (2021) report that keratinocyte differentiation requires a shift in polyamine ratios that is mediated by AMD1. Results suggest that targeting polyamine availability might be useful in the treatment of hyperproliferative skin disorders.

As the elite force of our immune system, T cells play a determining role in the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. However, the clever tumor cells construct a strong immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) fortress to resist the attack of T cells. Herein, a magnesium peroxide (MP)-based biomimetic nanoigniter loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and metformin (MET) is rationally designed (D/M-MP@LM) to awake T cell-mediated cancer immunotherapy via comprehensively destroying the strong TME fortress.

Although glycine is the simplest of the amino acids, its solution and solid-state properties are far from straightforward. The aqueous solubility of glycine plays an important role in various applications, including nutrition, food products, biodegradable plastics, and drug development. There is evidence that glycine in subsaturated pH 3-8 solutions forms a dimer, as suggested by several techniques.

Background: We report findings from an experimental medicine study of rationally designed prefusion stabilised native-like HIV envelope glycoprotein (Env) immunogens, representative of global circulating strains, delivered by sequential intramuscular injection.

Methods: Healthy adult volunteers were enrolled into one of five groups (A to E) each receiving a different schedule of one of two consensus Env immunogens (ConM SOSIP, ConS UFO, either unmodified or stabilised by chemical cross-linking, followed by a boost with two mosaic Env immunogens (Mos3.1 and Mos3.

Exploring new pathways for the growth of output in the mariculture industry and its alignment with environmentally coordinated and sustainable development has become an urgent task. Against the backdrop of the new technological revolution, the burgeoning development of industrial intelligence offers new opportunities for enhancing the ecological efficiency of China's mariculture. Based on panel data from coastal provinces of China from 2008 to 2022, this paper measures the ecological efficiency of mariculture while comprehensively considering both positive and negative externalities of the industry.

Background: Non-coding RNA species, such as microRNA (miRNA), regulate multiple biological and pathological processes by binding to target mRNAs and facilitating alteration of translation levels via complexes such as RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC). Disrupting this process could contribute to AD pathogenesis by fostering aggregation of hyperphosphorylated microtubule-associated protein tau and amyloid-β (Aβ) peptides, and neuroinflammation. Understanding how these pathological changes are regulated remains our research focus.
