Four new sesquiterpenoids, talaroterpenes A-D (-), were isolated from the mangrove-derived fungus sp. SCSIO 41412. The structures of compounds - were elucidated through comprehensive NMR and MS spectroscopic analyses. The absolute configurations of - were assigned based on single-crystal X-ray diffraction and calculated electronic circular dichroism analysis. Talaroterpenes A-D (-) were evaluated with their regulatory activities on nuclear receptors in HepG2 cells. Under the concentrations of 200 μM, , and exhibited varying degrees of activation on and , while showed the strongest activities. Furthermore, induced significant alterations in the expression of downstream target genes and of RORα, and the in silico molecular docking analysis supported the direct binding interactions of with RORα protein. This study revealed that talaroterpene D () was a new potential non-toxic modulator of nuclear receptors.

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating, neuroinflammatory, progressive disease that severely affects human health of young adults. Neuroinflammation (NI) and demyelination, as well as their interactions, are key therapeutic targets to halt or slow disease progression. Potent steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as methylprednisolone (MP) and remyelinating neurosteroids such as allopregnanolone (ALLO) could be co-administered intranasally to enhance their efficacy by providing direct access to the central nervous system (CNS).

Introduction: The approval of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cell therapies for the treatment of B cell malignancies has fueled the development of numerous cell therapies. However, these cell therapies are complex and costly, and unlike in hematological malignancies, outcomes with most T cell therapies in solid tumors have been disappointing. Here, we present a novel approach to directly program myeloid cells by administering novel TROP2 CAR mRNA encapsulated in lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).

Background/aim: Circadian rhythm proteins (CRPs) play critical roles in both physiological and pathophysiological conditions, including neurodegenerative disorders. As members of CRPs, the nuclear receptors Rev-Erbα/β regulate circadian rhythm particularly by inhibiting Bmal1 protein and are involved in the neuroinflammation and cell death processes. However, their roles in the development of neuronal injury after traumatic brain injury (TBI) were largely unexplored, and so were investigated in the present study.

Objective: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a type of breast cancer that does not express the estrogen receptor (ER), the progesterone receptor (PR), or the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2). TNBC has limited treatment targets, including the androgen receptor (AR). However, the therapeutic strategies-based AR expression in TNBC remains uncertain.

Gallium-68-DOTA-D-phe1-try3-octreotide (Ga-DOTATOC) positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) is a crucial diagnostic tool for neuroendocrine tumors (NET). Its accuracy is influenced by radiochemical purity and patient preparation. We present two cases where unexpected radiotracer uptake in Ga-DOTATOC PET/CT imaging was observed.
