Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as crucial regulators of cancer development and progression. Among them, Differentiation Antagonizing Non-Protein Coding RNA (DANCR) has been implicated in various malignancies, including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). This study explores the clinical characteristics, prognostic implications, functional roles, and molecular mechanisms of DANCR in ESCC.

CONSTANS (CO) plays a vital role in activating the expression of the florigen FT during photoperiod-dependent flowering. The diurnal oscillation of CO protein abundance is strictly controlled by daylength and the circadian clock. We showed previously that ABI5-BINDING PROTEIN2 (AFP2) represses CO expression to delay flowering.

Background: Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of mortality worldwide, highlighting the urgent need for innovative treatments targeting chronic inflammation. Recent research indicates that quercetin (QCT) and curcumin, two naturally occurring compounds, have potential therapeutic benefits in cardiovascular diseases.
Objectives: This study focuses on the novel synthesis of nano-quercetin (N-QCT) encapsulated in solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) and investigates the synergistic cardioprotective effects of N-QCT and curcumin on human vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs).

Accurate procentriole formation is critical for centriole duplication. However, the holistic transcriptional regulatory mechanisms underlying this process remain elusive. Here, we show that KAT7 crotonylation, facilitated by the crotonyltransferase hMOF, competes against its acetylation regulated by the deacetylase HDAC2 at the K432 residue upon DNA damage stimulation.

CXCR4 (CXC chemokine receptor type 4), a member of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily, plays a role in cell migration and functions as a coreceptor for HIV entry. Molecular therapeutics targeting CXCR4 have been under intensive investigation. To date, only two small-molecule antagonist drugs targeting CXCR4, plerixafor (AMD3100) and mavorixafor (AMD070), have been approved.
