Nuclear proteins of normal and heat-shocked Drosophila cells were analysed by two-dimensional electrophoresis. The computerized processing of the gels allowed us to detect 6 proteins strongly induced by the heat treatment, but which were different from the usually described heat-shock proteins. The possible role of these proteins in genetic regulation is discussed, as is the value of this type of approach for the study of other genetic regulation phenomena.

Background: The computerized NIH Toolbox Cognition Battery (NIHTB-CB) was designed to assess cognitive functioning across the lifespan. Previous studies demonstrated that NIHTB-CB measures discriminate between healthy controls (HCs), individuals with amnestic mild cognitive impairment (aMCI), and individuals with dementia of the Alzheimer's type (DAT). Scores on NIHTB-CB tasks also correspond with performance on well-validated neuropsychological measures of the same cognitive domains.

Breast cancer continues to be a major health issue for women worldwide, with vimentin (VIM) identified as a crucial factor in its progression due to its role in cell migration and the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT). This study focuses on elucidating VIM's regulatory mechanisms on the miR-615-3p/PICK1 axis. Utilizing the 4T1 breast cancer cell model, we first used RNA-seq and proteomics to investigate the changes in the APA of PICK1 following VIM knockout (KO).

Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a high-mortality lung disease with limited treatment options, highlighting the need for new therapies. Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 (CDK8) is a promising target due to its role in regulating transcription via the TGF-β/Smad pathway, though CDK8 inhibitors have not been thoroughly studied for PF. This study aims to evaluate the potential of E966-0530-45418, a novel CDK8 inhibitor, in mitigating PF progression and explores its underlying mechanisms.
