The cerebellum plays a crucial role in functions, including sensory-motor coordination, cognition, and emotional processing. Compared to the neocortex, the human cerebellum exhibits a protracted developmental trajectory. This delayed developmental timeline may lead to increased sensitivity of the cerebellum to external influences, potentially extending the vulnerability period for neurological disorders.

Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) arises from prostate adenocarcinoma after endocrine treatment failure and implies lethality and limited therapeutic options. Deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying transdifferentiation from adenocarcinoma to NEPC may provide valuable therapeutic strategies. We performed a pan-cancer differential mRNA abundance analysis and identified that Kinesin-like protein (KIF1A) was highly expressed in NEPC.

Article Synopsis
  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is connected to gastrointestinal issues and altered serotonin levels, and fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) might help improve symptoms related to both.
  • A study used a randomized double-blind controlled trial to assess the effects of FMT on gastrointestinal and ASD-related symptoms, revealing significant improvements in various clinical ratings for children who received FMT compared to those who did not.
  • Results indicated that FMT not only alleviated GI and core ASD symptoms but also reduced urinary levels of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), suggesting its potential as a biomarker for treatment efficacy.

Ultra-early stage lower-grade gliomas: How can we define and differentiate these easily misdiagnosed gliomas through intraoperative molecular diagnosis.

CNS Neurosci Ther

October 2024

Department of Neurosurgery, Qilu Hospital, Cheeloo College of Medicine and Institute of Brain and Brain-Inspired Science, Shandong University, Jinan, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Some lower-grade gliomas (LGG) can be hard to differentiate from other conditions during surgery, leading to potential misdiagnosis; these challenging cases are defined as "ultra early stage lower-grade gliomas (UES-LGG)."
  • Researchers studied 11 cases diagnosed as "gliosis" or "inflammatory changes" that tested positive for a specific mutation (IDH), along with 35 LGG samples, to find ways to better identify UES-LGG during surgery.
  • Results indicated that while the average DNA concentration was similar between the two groups, the mutation detection thresholds differed significantly, suggesting that monitoring IDH mutations could help distinguish UES-LGG from other conditions in surgical settings.

Nat Commun

September 2024

Department of Natural Products Chemistry, Key Lab of Chemical Biology of the Ministry of Education, Shandong University, Jinan, China.

Article Synopsis
  • Hemolysis is linked to lung injury and poor outcomes in diseases like malaria and sickle cell disease, but the specific mechanisms are not well understood.
  • Research shows that the protein MFSD7C protects the lungs from damage caused by hemolysis by inhibiting a cell death process known as ferroptosis.
  • In experiments, giving mice MFSD7C mRNA using nanoparticles reduced lung injury from hemolytic conditions, highlighting potential treatments for patients with related disorders.

The functional role and molecular mechanisms of small-nucleolar RNA host gene 14 (SNHG14) in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) progression remain unclear. The expression levels of SNHG14 in breast cancer samples and cell lines were determined using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction. Cell proliferation, migration, and invasion abilities were detected using MTS and transwell assays.

The pharmaceutical industry is increasingly drawn to the research of innovative drug delivery systems through the use of supercritical CO (scCO)-based techniques. Measuring the solubility of drugs in scCO at varying conditions is a crucial parameter in this context. In this research, the supercritical solubility of two pharmaceutical ingredients, namely Febuxostat and Chlorpromazine, has been assessed theoretically using various thermodynamic approaches, including PR, SRK, UNIQUAC, and Wilson models.

The Hippo pathway is generally understood to inhibit tumor growth by phosphorylating the transcriptional cofactor YAP to sequester it to the cytoplasm and reduce the formation of YAP-TEAD transcriptional complexes. Aberrant activation of YAP occurs in various cancers. However, we found a tumor-suppressive function of YAP in clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC).

Epidural fluid collection is commonly seen as a low-density accumulation beneath the dura on postoperative computed tomography scans. It is discussed less in the literature because, in most cases, the fluid amount is small, self-absorbing, and typically does not cause neurological deficits, so intervention is usually unnecessary. However, when a significant amount of fluid accumulates, patients may experience symptoms such as altered consciousness and even coma.

Objectives: This study aims to assess the prognostic implications of gene signature of the tertiary lymphoid structures (TLSs) in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) and scrutinize the influence of TLS on immune infiltration.

Methods: Patients with HNSCC from the Cancer Genome Atlas were categorized into high/low TLS signature groups based on the predetermined TLS signature threshold. The association of the TLS signature with the immune microenvironment, driver gene mutation status, and tumor mutational load was systematically analyzed.

Article Synopsis
  • The study focuses on enhancing natural killer (NK) cell therapy for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by targeting the Siglec-9 protein, which inhibits NK cell functions, offering a new avenue for treatment.
  • Researchers found that high levels of Siglec-9 on tumor-infiltrating NK cells were linked to worse outcomes in HCC patients, indicating that the interaction between Siglec-9 and its ligand (Siglec-9L) could be an important therapeutic target.
  • A small molecule, MTX-3937, was identified as an effective inhibitor of Siglec-9, significantly boosting NK cell activity and effectively reducing tumor growth in mice, suggesting its potential for improving

Introduction: The Chinese community in Italy is the largest in Europe. The area of Milan hosts the largest Chinese Italian community-about 41 000 people. Since little is known of the health practices of Chinese persons in Italy, we designed the CHINT study (survey of risk factors for cancer and other non-communicable diseases (NCDs) in the Chinese community of Milan) to investigate lifestyle-related risk factors for these diseases in this community.

Perforin is essentially involved in the granule-dependent killing activities of cytotoxic T lymphocytes and NK cells. Monoallelic PRF1 mutation increases the risk of autoimmune diseases, and biallelic PRF1 mutation causes familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis-2. Here, we report a case of a 12-year-old girl with chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyradiculoneuropathy (CIDP), followed by a rapidly progressive onset of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) 9 months later, alongside manifestations of demyelinating encephalopathy.

Background: Discriminating between cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (cALCL) and CD30-positive transformed mycosis fungoides (CD30+ TMF) is challenging, particularly when they arise in the context of pre-existing mycosis fungoides. The development of molecular diagnostic tools was hampered by the rarity of both diseases and the limited understanding of their pathogenesis.

Methods: In this study, we established a cohort comprising 25 cALCL cases and 25 CD30+ TMF cases, with transcriptomic data obtained from 31 samples.
