A 56-year-old woman with sickle cell anemia (SCA) and metastatic neuroendocrine tumor refractory to somatostatin analog received 4 cycles of peptide receptor radionuclide therapy (PRRT) with 177Lu-DOTATATE. The treatment schedule was delayed by multiple episodes of hospitalizations related to underlying SCA. PRRT was well-tolerated with stable renal, hematologic, and liver lab parameters. After PRRT, the disease remained stable for up to 13 months, and serum chromogranin levels declined by 45%. PRRT with 177Lu-DOTATATE can be safely administered for metastatic neuroendocrine tumors in patients with SCA with good anti-tumor effect. Disruption to the therapy schedule should be anticipated, given the potential for recurrent hospitalization for illnesses related to the underlying SCA.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is a highly metastatic malignancy. More than 80% of patients with PC present with advanced-stage disease, preventing potentially curative surgery. The neuropeptide Y (NPY) system, best known for its role in controlling energy homeostasis, has also been shown to promote tumorigenesis in a range of cancer types, but its role in PC has yet to be explored.

Breast cancer represents a significant therapeutic challenge due to its aggressive nature and resistance to treatment. A major cause of treatment failure in breast cancer is the presence of rare, low-proliferative disseminated tumor cells (DTCs) in distant organs including the bone marrow. This study introduced a microfluidic-based approach to improve the immunodetection and isolation of these rare DTCs for downstream analysis, with an emphasis on optimizing immunocapture, release, and enrichment methods of live DTCs as compared to the standard approach for blood-borne circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Lateral roots (LRs) can continuously forage water and nutrients from soil. In Arabidopsis thaliana, LR development depends on a canonical auxin signaling pathway involving the core transcription factors INDOLE-3-ACETIC ACIDs (IAAs) and AUXIN RESPONSE FACTORs (ARFs). In this study, we identified a protein, bacillolysin, secreted by the beneficial rhizobacterium Bacillus velezensis SQR9, that is able to stimulate LR formation of Arabidopsis.

Burkitt lymphoma, a highly aggressive form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, have significant treatment challenges, such as chemotherapy-related toxicity and the risk of relapse, especially in older adults. Treatment of Raji cells, a Burkitt lymphoma cell line, with parthenolide in combination to doxorubicin may enhance therapeutic efficacy. This study aimed to evaluate cell viability and apoptosis following treatment with these agents, and to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms involving miR-27b and the MET/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Umami and bitter peptides generated by microbial metabolism are essential to the taste of low-salt fish sauce. However, the uncertain taste mechanisms of peptides hinder the efficient identification of high-intensity taste peptides in fish sauce. Our study investigated the taste mechanisms of umami or bitter peptides from low-salt fish sauce fermented with .
