Stem cell accumulation and mutation-derived tumors are two hallmarks of midgut aging. They imply a decline in stem cell signaling homeostasis late in life and a robust homeostasis in young adults. Contrary to this, we find spontaneously developing stem-like cells that vary in size and ploidy, have a stem-enteroblast mixed identity, achieve higher mitotic rate per cell, exhibit DNA replication stress, and are inherently prone to clustering. Reduction of mitosis or DNA replication stress lessens the production of these cells but does not explain the loss of their proper differentiation. However, young enterocyte progenitors also display epigenetic plasticity in Notch signaling network genes and locus instability. Strikingly, reinforcing Notch signaling in enteroblasts, alleviates dysplasia and extends overall survival and survival to infection. Thus, Notch signaling between prospective stem cells and enteroblasts is never sufficiently on, producing stem-enteroblast mixed identity cells that cluster and compromise homeostasis and overall aging.

Breaking Barriers; Phytoestrogens in the Fight Against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer: A Comprehensive Review.
Med Res Rev

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.

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.

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.
