Published: February 2025

The Notch signaling pathway is an evolutionarily conserved intercellular signaling cascade that regulates a number of cellular processes, including cell development, proliferation, apoptosis, and genome stability. The Notch signaling pathway is pervasive in the human body, affecting tumorigenesis and progression, which is one of the most significant signaling pathways in this regard, influencing various receptors and cellular functions of tumor cells. Aberrant expression or mutation of Notch has been linked to the onset and progression of a variety of malignant tumors. In this review, we discussed the mechanism of Notch signaling in lung, liver and colorectal cancer and explored future strategies and directions for cancer treatment by modifying the Notch signaling pathway.

The development of standard drugs for some unusual cancers, including estrogen-nonresponsive breast cancer, is somewhat difficult within a very short time. So, considering the current situation, phytoestrogen may be a potential candidate for unraveling chemotherapeutics agents. The reason for this review article is to manifest overall information regarding the effects of phytoestrogen on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), along with its related cellular and molecular pathways in different TNBC models.

Comparative proteomic analysis of the telogen-to-anagen transition in cashmere goat secondary hair follicles.

Secondary hair follicles (SHFs) in cashmere goats produce high-value cashmere fibers, which cyclic regulation is critical for optimizing cashmere yield and quality. This study explores the phenotypic changes and differential protein expression profiles involved in the telogen-to-anagen transition of SHFs. Through histological observations, proteomic analyses, and immunohistochemical validation, we identified key molecular features and regulatory pathways underlying SHF cyclic renewal.

mpECs with high Piezo2 expression promote fracture healing by driving angiogenesis through the Notch signaling pathway.

Department of Neurosurgery, Ningbo Key Laboratory of Neurological Diseases and Brain Function, The First Affiliated Hospital of Ningbo University, Ningbo, China.

Fractures will impair or disrupt angiogenesis, resulting in delayed union or non-union. Exploring angiogenic signaling molecules and related pathways can promote fracture healing. In this study, the roles of different endothelial cell (EC) subsets in fracture healing were observed using single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq).

The vertebrate segmentation clock drives periodic somite segmentation during embryonic development. Her1 and Her7 clock proteins generate oscillatory expression of their own genes as well as that of deltaC in zebrafish. In turn, DeltaC and DeltaD ligands activate Notch signaling, which then activates transcription of clock genes in neighboring cells.

Introduction: Neutrophils are initial responders in inflammation and contribute to non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progression to steatohepatitis (NASH). Neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are implicated in liver injury, yet their precise mechanisms in NASH progression remains unclear.

Objectives: This study investigates how NETs drive NASH progression by disrupting hepatocyte lipotoxicity and explore the regulatory mechanism of NETs formation and its downstream effects on liver pathology.
