Recombinant human type I collagen, identical in structure and functionality to human type I collagen, was successfully expressed and extracted from genetically modified tobacco plants. Contrarily to tissue extracted protein, rhCollagen is not immunogenic and not allergenic and has an intact triple helix structure showing superior biological functionality. A photocurable rhCollagen was developed by chemically modifying the protein to allow cross-linking under illumination at various wavelengths, maintaining the protein structural and biological functions. The use of the photocurable rhCollagen in aesthetic medicine, especially as a dermal filler and as a bioink for 3D-printed breast implant is discussed in this article.

Background: Ovarian cancer (OC), particularly high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), is the leading cause of mortality from gynecological malignancies worldwide. Despite the initial effectiveness of treatment, acquired resistance to poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase inhibitors (PARPis) represents a major challenge for the clinical management of HGSOC, highlighting the necessity for the development of novel therapeutic strategies. This study investigated the role of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3), a pivotal regulator of glycolysis, in PARPi resistance and explored its potential as a therapeutic target to overcome PARPi resistance.

To investigate the clinicopathological characteristics of solid, endometrial-like and transitional (SET) cell growth subtype in high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSC). Clinical data of 25 cases of HGSC-SET were collected from January 2020 to March 2024 at the Affiliated Suzhou Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, and their histological features were analyzed. Immunohistochemical stains were used to analyze the expression of ER, PR, PAX8, WT-1, p16, p53 and Ki-67.

To investigate the expression pattern of pan-TRK protein in colorectal cancers with NTRK gene fusion and mismatch repair deficient (dMMR) and to analyze its molecular pathological characteristics. A total of 117 dMMR colorectal cancers diagnosed in the Department of Pathology of Henan Provincial People's Hospital, Zhengzhou, China from 2020 to 2023 were collected. Immunohistochemistry (IHC), fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and DNA/RNA-based next-generation sequencing (NGS) were used to detect pan-TRK protein expression and fusion partner genes in tumors, and to further explore the correlation between pan-TRK staining patterns and partner genes.

9-kDa Granulysin is a protein present in the granules of human activated cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. It has been shown to exert cytolytic activity against a wide variety of microbes: bacteria, fungi, yeast and protozoa. Recombinant isolated granulysin is also capable of inducing tumor cell death, so it could be used as an anti-tumor therapy.

Rabies virus (RABV) is extremely hazardous to both humans and animals, causing up to 100 % death. Accurate and easy-to-use serological evaluation of vaccine potency following immunization is crucial for rabies control. In this study, recombinant RABV glycoprotein (rG) was designed and produced in 293FT cells.
