FLT3 inhibitors (FLT3i) are widely used for the treatment of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but adaptive and acquired resistance remains a primary challenge. Inhibitors simultaneously blocking adaptive and acquired resistance are highly demanded. Here, we observed the potential of CHK1 inhibitors to synergistically improve the therapeutic effect of FLT3i in FLT3-mutated AML cells. Notably, the combination overcame adaptive resistance. The simultaneous targeting of FLT3 and CHK1 kinases may overcome acquired and adaptive resistance. A dual FLT3/CHK1 inhibitor 30 with a good oral PK profile was identified. Mechanistic studies indicated that 30 inhibited FLT3 and CHK1, downregulated the c-Myc pathway and further activated the p53 pathway. Functional studies showed that 30 was more selective against cells with various FLT3 mutants, overcame adaptive resistance in vitro, and effectively inhibited resistant FLT3-ITD AML in vivo. Moreover, 30 showed favorable druggability without significant blood toxicity or myelosuppression and exhibited a good oral PK profile with a T over 12 h in beagles. These findings support the targeting of FLT3 and CHK1 as a novel strategy for overcoming adaptive and acquired resistance to FLT3i therapy in AML and suggest 30 as a potential clinical candidate.

Deep brain stimulation (DBS), a proven treatment for movement disorders, also holds promise for the treatment of psychiatric and cognitive conditions. However, for DBS to be clinically effective, it may require DBS technology that can alter or trigger stimulation in response to changes in biomarkers sensed from the patient's brain. A growing body of evidence suggests that such adaptive DBS is feasible, it might achieve clinical effects that are not possible with standard continuous DBS and that some of the best biomarkers are signals from the cerebral cortex.

Understanding the origins of novel, complex phenotypes is a major goal in evolutionary biology. Poison frogs of the family Dendrobatidae have evolved the novel ability to acquire alkaloids from their diet for chemical defense at least three times. However, taxon sampling for alkaloids has been biased towards colorful species, without similar attention paid to inconspicuous ones that are often assumed to be undefended.

Background/objectives: Riding a bicycle is a foundational movement skill that can be acquired at an early age. The most common training bicycle has lateral training wheels (BTW). However, the balance bike (BB) has consistently been regarded as more efficient, as children require less time on this bike to successfully transition to a traditional bike (TB).

Visual navigation is a key capability for robots and animals. Inspired by the navigational prowess of social insects, a family of insect-inspired route navigation algorithms-familiarity-based algorithms-have been developed that use stored panoramic images collected during a training route to subsequently derive directional information during route recapitulation. However, unlike the ants that inspire them, these algorithms ignore the sequence in which the training images are acquired so that all temporal information/correlation is lost.

In robotic-assisted laminectomy decompression, stable and precise vertebral plate cutting remains challenging due to manual dependency and the absence of adaptive skill-learning mechanisms. This paper presents an advanced robotic vertebral plate-cutting system that leverages patient-specific anatomical variations and replicates the surgeon's cutting technique through a trajectory parameter prediction model. A spatial mapping relationship between artificial and patient vertebrae is first established, enabling the robot to mimic surgeon-defined trajectories with high accuracy.
