Published: January 2022

In this issue of , McGarvey et al. characterize chromatin accessibility and gene regulation at single-cell resolution in the zebrafish embryo 24 h after fertilization, providing a valuable resource. Their findings add another important piece to understanding the dynamic landscape of gene expression and regulation during early vertebrate development and hint at the dramatic changes single-cell genomics is bringing to the field of developmental biology.

Could Be a Promising Marker for Preoperative Diagnosis of High-Grade Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma?

Diagnostics (Basel)

November 2024

Department of the Structure and Function of Chromosomes, Institute of Molecular and Cellular Biology, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Novosibirsk 630090, Russia.

Background/objectives: A modern classification distinguishes between two nosological entities posing an intermediate risk between differentiated and anaplastic carcinoma: poorly differentiated thyroid carcinoma and differentiated high-grade thyroid carcinoma. There are currently few studies searching for the preoperative molecular genetic markers of high-grade papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC HG), primarily because of a recent WHO reclassification and singling out of a separate entity: high-grade follicular cell-derived nonanaplastic thyroid carcinoma. Therefore, this work was aimed at identifying PTC HG-specific microRNAs and mRNAs that reliably distinguish them from differentiated papillary thyroid carcinoma in preoperative cytology specimens (fine-needle aspiration biopsies).

Background: The skin is the biggest organ in the body and has several important functions in protection and regulation. However, wound development can disrupt the natural healing process, leading to challenges such as chronic wounds, persistent infections, and impaired angiogenesis. These issues not only affect individuals' well-being but also pose significant economic burdens on healthcare systems.

Background: Skin cutaneous melanoma (SKCM) ranks among the most prevalent malignant tumors, highlighting the significance of identifying new research targets. In this study, our objective was to pinpoint pivotal genes implicated in SKCM pathogenesis and ascertain their potential as prognostic biomarkers.

Methods: Leveraging data from 1809 normal skin samples and 471 SKCM samples, we identified differentially expressed genes (DEGs).

Potential immunologic and prognostic roles of CHRNA6 in SCLC and pan-cancer.

Heliyon

October 2024

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, Southeast University, Zhongda Hospital, Nanjing, 210009, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) has limited treatment options, but immunotherapy makes progress possible, although clinical studies are challenged by a lack of samples and reliable predictors for its effectiveness.
  • The study analyzed 81 SCLC samples to identify differentially expressed genes, focusing on CHRNA6 through protein interaction networks and immune microenvironment assessments to understand its role in immunotherapy efficacy.
  • Results suggest that CHRNA6 expression impacts SCLC patient prognosis and response to immunotherapy, with further insights provided by comparing data from The Cancer Genome Atlas for broader implications across various tumors.

Pro-inflammatory cytokines in muscle play a pivotal role in physiological responses and in the pathophysiology of inflammatory disease and muscle atrophy. Lactobacillus delbrueckii (LD), as a kind of probiotics, has inhibitory effects on pro-inflammatory cytokines associated with various inflammatory diseases. This study was conducted to explore the effect of dietary LD on the lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced muscle inflammation and atrophy in piglets and to elucidate the underlying mechanism.
