The pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD) remains unknown till today, hindering the research and development of AD therapeutics and diagnostics. Circulating extracellular vesicles (EVs) can be utilized as a new window to spy upon AD pathogenesis. Altered microRNA profiles were noted in both the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)- and blood-isolated EVs of AD patients, implying the outstanding potential of circulating EV-containing miRNAs (CEmiRs) to serve as important regulators in AD pathogenesis. Although several CEmiRs were found to play a part in AD, the association of globally altered miRNA profiles in patients' serum-derived EVs with AD pathogenesis remains unclear. In this study, we first investigated the miRNA profile in serum-derived EVs from AD, mild cognitive impairment (MCI) patients, and healthy individuals. We observed differential expression patterns of CEmiRs and classified them into 10 clusters. We identified the predicted targets of these differentially expressed CEmiRs (DECEmiRs) and analyzed their biological functions and interactions. Our study revealed the temporal regulation of complex and precise signaling networks on AD pathogenesis, shedding light on the development of novel therapeutic strategies, including multi-target drug combination for AD treatment.

Background/objectives: Low fasting blood lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) activity is associated with the pathogenesis of metabolic hepatic steatosis. We measured LAL activity in blood and plasma before and after an oral fat tolerance test (OFTT) in patients with metabolic-dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD).

Methods: Twenty-six controls and seventeen patients with MASLD but without diabetes were genotyped for the patatin-like phospholipase 3 (PNPLA3) rs738409 variant by RT-PCR and subjected to an OFTT, measuring LAL activity in blood and plasma with a fluorimetric method.

Background: is a member of the lactic acid bacterium group commonly found in many salt-fermented foods. Strains of isolated from high-salinity environments have been shown to tolerate salt stress to some extent. However, the specific responses and mechanisms of under salt stress are not fully understood.

Circulating tumor cells and cell-free nucleic acids are novel diagnostic, prognostic and predictive tools for non-invasive and cost-effective cancer detection in liquid biopsy. Carbonic anhydrase IX (CAIX) has been proposed as a biomarker in urogenital tumors and urine sediment. Our aim was to evaluate CAIX full-length percentage (CAIX FL%) in urine-cell-free RNA (cfRNA) and its relationship with tumor-cell-associated RNA (TC-RNA).

Introduction: Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy is a common complication of sepsis and is associated with higher mortality. To date, effective diagnostic and management strategies are still lacking. Recent studies suggest that ferroptosis plays a critical role in sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy and ferroptosis inhibitor Ferrostatin-1 (Fer-1) improved cardiac dysfunction and survival in lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced endotoxemia.

Tumor metastasis and recurrence: the role of perioperative NETosis.

Although surgical resection of tumor mass remains the mainstay of curatively therapeutic management for solid tumors, accumulating studies suggest that these procedures promote tumor recurrence and metastasis. Regarded as the first immune cells to fight against infectious or inflammatory insults from surgery, neutrophils along with its ability of neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) production has attracted much attention. A growing body of evidence suggests that NETs promote cancer metastasis by stimulating various stages, including local invasion, colonization, and growth.
