Pancreatic cancer (PC) is an aggressive malignancy with a dismal prognosis. To improve patient survival, the development of screening methods for early diagnosis is pivotal. Oncogenomic alterations present in tumor tissue are a suitable target for non-invasive screening efforts, as they can be detected in tumor-derived cells, cell-free nucleic acids, and extracellular vesicles, which are present in several body fluids. Since stool is an easily accessible source, which enables convenient and cost-effective sampling, it could be utilized for the screening of these traces. Herein, we explore the various oncogenomic changes that have been detected in PC tissue, such as chromosomal aberrations, mutations in driver genes, epigenetic alterations, and differentially expressed non-coding RNA. In addition, we briefly look into the role of altered gut microbiota in PC and their possible associations with oncogenomic changes. We also review the findings of genomic alterations in stool of PC patients, and the potentials and challenges of their future use for the development of stool screening tools, including the possible combination of genomic and microbiota markers.

Background: BMAL1, a key regulator of circadian rhythms, plays a multifaceted role in brain function. However, the complex interplay between BMAL1, memory, neuroinflammation, and neurotransmitter regulation remains poorly understood. To investigate these interactions, we conducted a study using BMAL1-haplodeficient mice (BMAL1).

Peripheral nerve injury causes severe neuroinflammation and has become a global medical challenge. Previous research has demonstrated that porcine decellularized nerve matrix hydrogel exhibits excellent biological properties and tissue specificity, highlighting its potential as a biomedical material for the repair of severe peripheral nerve injury; however, its role in modulating neuroinflammation post-peripheral nerve injury remains unknown. Here, we aimed to characterize the anti-inflammatory properties of porcine decellularized nerve matrix hydrogel and their underlying molecular mechanisms.

Liver regeneration is a complex process that involves the recruitment of bone marrow (BM)-derived hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). Pregnane X receptor (PXR), also known as NR1I2, is an important regulator for liver enlargement and regeneration. However, the role of PXR activation in hematopoiesis during liver regeneration remains unclear.

Quantitative analysis of cancer cell migration is critical for developing effective therapies to curb cancer metastasis. However, traditional methods are time-consuming and labor-intensive and lack quantitative capabilities. Cell volume change, a key physiological indicator of cell migration, is directly linked to phase change.

Sterile Alpha and TIR Motif Containing 1 (SARM1) are proteins implicated in various neurological processes; however, their role in depression remains unexplored. This study investigated the contribution of SARM1 to depressive-like behaviors in a chronic stress-induced depression model and SARM1 knockout (KO) mice. Depressive-like behaviors were assessed using a battery of behavioral tests, including the Open Field Test (OFT), the Forced Swim Test (FST), the Sucrose Preference Test (SPT), and the Tail Suspension Test (TST).
