Understanding the role of NSD proteins in virus-induced cancers could reveal new therapeutic strategies. Targeting NSD proteins may not only disrupt the epigenetic changes triggered by viruses but also help restore normal cellular function. For instance, developing NSD inhibitors could counteract abnormal histone modifications caused by viral infections and slow cancer progression. Our review on the NSD protein family emphasizes its critical role in epigenetic regulation and cancer progression, also in virus-induced cancers. As research on the molecular mechanisms of NSD proteins advances, these proteins are emerging as promising candidates for targeted cancer therapies, particularly in cancers driven by histone modifications and transcriptional dysregulation.

Background: The underlying mechanism of quetiapine (QET) in treating cognitive impairment in sleep deprivation is unclear. The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of treatment with QET on novel object recognition and hippocampal (hippo) brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) levels in rats submitted to 72 h sleep deprivation (SD).
Materials And Methods: A total of 42 adult male Wistar albino rats were assigned into six experimental groups: non-sleep-deprived (NSD) control, short-term control group (n = 7) received a single intraperitoneal (i.

Adoptive cell therapy with tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TIL) can mediate tumor regression, including complete and durable responses, in a range of solid cancers, most notably in melanoma. However, its wider application and efficacy has been restricted by the limited accessibility, proliferative capacity and effector function of tumor-specific TIL. Here, we develop a platform for the efficient identification of tumor-specific TCR genes from diagnostic tumor biopsies, including core-needle biopsies frozen in a non-viable format, to enable engineered T cell therapy.

In this study, we characterized a variant hESC (vhESC) line and investigated the molecular mechanisms leading to the drift towards a transformed state. Our findings revealed that vhESCs up-regulate EMT-specific markers, accelerate wound healing, exhibit compromised lineage differentiation, and retain pluripotency gene expression in teratomas.

Information about how ultra-processed foods (UPF) contribute to the intake of energy and nutrients and environmental impact is important for future food policies and dietary recommendations. This study assessed the contribution of the four NOVA food groups, including UPF, to energy intake, nutritional quality, and climate impact in Norwegian adults' diet. We used dietary data from 348 participants in the Norkost 4 pilot study, collected through two non-consecutive 24-h dietary recalls.
