Targeting AXL inhibits the growth and metastasis of prostate cancer in bone.
Clin Cancer Res
January 2025
Stanford University, Palo Alto, CA, United States.
Purpose: After failing primary and secondary hormonal therapy, castration-resistant and neuroendocrine prostate cancer metastatic to the bone is invariably lethal, although treatment with docetaxel and carboplatin can modestly improve survival. Therefore, agents targeting biologically relevant pathways in PCa and potentially synergizing with docetaxel and carboplatin in inhibiting bone metastasis growth are urgently needed.
Experimental Design: Phosphorylated (activated) AXL expression in human prostate cancer bone metastases was assessed by immunohistochemical staining.
Parasitoid wasp venoms degrade imaginal discs for successful parasitism.

Life Science Center for Survival Dynamics, Tsukuba Advanced Research Alliance (TARA), University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba 305-8577, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- Parasitoid wasps, a highly diverse group of animals, use their venoms to manipulate the physiology of host larvae for their benefit.
- Researchers discovered that a specific wasp can cause the death and dysfunction of its host's tissue precursors, a process called imaginal disc degradation (IDD).
- The study identified two venom proteins crucial for IDD, showing how the wasp's venom strategically ensures the host grows but inhibits its transformation into adulthood.
Inotodiol induces hepatocellular carcinoma apoptosis by activation of MAPK/ERK pathway.
PLoS One
January 2025
Heilongjiang University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Harbin, Heilongjiang, China.
Hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) has a high mortality and morbidity rate and seriously jeopardizes human life. Chemicals and chemotherapeutic agents have been experiencing problems such as side effects and drug resistance in the treatment of HCC, which cannot meet the needs of clinical treatment. Therefore, finding novel low-toxicity and high-efficiency anti-hepatocellular carcinoma drugs and exploring their mechanisms of action have become the current problems to be solved in the treatment of HCC.

Ergonomics
January 2025
Department of Industrial Engineering, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
This study investigated whether bidirectional transparency, compared to agent-to-human transparency, improved human-agent collaboration. Additionally, we examined the optimal transparency levels for both humans and agents. We assessed the impact of transparency direction and level on various metrics of a human-agent team, including performance, trust, satisfaction, perceived agent's teaming skills, and mental workload.

Int Urol Nephrol
January 2025
Department of Urology, Hualien Tzu Chi Hospital, Buddhist Tzu Chi Medical Foundation, Tzu Chi University, Hualien, Taiwan.
Purpose: Urinary cytokine changes may serve as biomarkers to assess treatment outcomes for interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). This study analyzed the changes in urinary cytokines following various bladder therapies and explored their clinical significance in therapeutic mechanisms.
Methods: A total of 122 patients with IC/BPS treated with platelet-rich plasma (PRP), botulinum toxin-A (BoTN-A), hyaluronic acid (HA), or low-energy shock wave (LESW) were evaluated.
