The involvement of B lymphocytes in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is well-established, with their early and aberrant activation being a crucial factor. However, the mechanisms underlying this abnormal activation in RA remain incompletely understood. In this study, we identified a significant reduction in MAPK4 expression in both RA patients and collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) mouse models, which correlates with disrupted B cell activation.

Acute liver injury (ALI) is a prevalent and potentially lethal condition globally, where pharmacotherapy plays a vital role. However, challenges such as rapid drug excretion and insufficient concentration at hepatic lesions often impede the treatment's effectiveness. We successfully prepared glycyrrhizinate monoammonium cysteine (GMC)-loaded lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) using high-pressure homogenization.

3,4-Methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) is a widely recognized entactogen frequently used recreationally. It is known for its interaction with the serotonin and oxytocin systems, which underlie its entactogenic effects in humans. Recently, we demonstrated that the gut-brain axis, mediated by the subdiaphragmatic vagus nerve, contributes to MDMA-induced resilience enhancement in rodents.

Background: Increasing evidence has documented cortical involvement at all stages of PD. The local vulnerabilities within certain brain regions in PD have been previously demonstrated, whereas its underlying genetic and neurochemical factors remain unclear. This study aims to investigate the spatial spectrum of cortical atrophy in Parkinson's disease (PD) and link these variances in gray matter properties and curvature respectively to putative molecular pathways and neurotransmitter factors.

In this study, we developed an innovative CuSe/PDA/AIPH nanoparticle platform that combines photothermal therapy and chemotherapy for effective tumor treatment. The CuSe nanoparticles, known for their strong near-infrared (NIR) absorption, were encapsulated within a polydopamine (PDA) and 2,2'-azobis[2-(2-imidazolin-2-yl)propane] dihydrochloride (AIPH) matrix. Upon NIR irradiation, the platform triggers localized heating and subsequent thermal decomposition of AIPH, releasing ROS to induce significant oxidative damage in tumor cells.

Objective: Osteoarthritis is a common joint disease caused by a variety of risk factors, and it has been found that many biochemical markers are abnormal in peripheral blood and urine of patients with OA. The aim of this study was to elucidate the causal relationship between biomarkers associated with these processes and OA using Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis.
Method: The inverse variance weighted (IVW) approach to MR was primarily used to explore causal associations between exposures and outcomes using publicly available genetic variants from large genome-wide association studies (GWAS).

N6-methyladenosine (mA) methylation is the most prevalent and abundant internal modification of mRNAs and is catalyzed by the methyltransferase complex. Methyltransferase-like 3 (METTL3), the best-known mA methyltransferase, has been confirmed to function as a multifunctional regulator in the reversible epitranscriptome modulation of mA modification according to follow-up studies. Accumulating evidence in recent years has shown that METTL3 can regulate a variety of functional genes, that aberrant expression of METTL3 is usually associated with many pathological conditions, and that its expression regulatory mechanism is related mainly to its methyltransferase activity or mRNA posttranslational modification.

Increasing evidence suggests that aberrant alternative splicing plays crucial roles in tumorigenesis. However, the function of EZH2 splice variants as well as the mechanism by which EZH2 alternative splicing occurs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain elusive. Here, we analyzed both our own and published transcriptomic data, obtaining 19 splice variants of EZH2 in addition to canonical full-length EZH2-A in HCC.

Background: Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive malignancy, and current postoperative prognostic assessment methods remain unsatisfactory, underlining the urgent to develop a reliable approach for precision medicine. Given the similarities with gametogenesis, cancer/testis genes (CTGs) are acknowledged for regulation unrestrained multiplication and immune microenvironment during oncogenic processes. These processes are associated with advanced disease and poorer prognosis, indicating that CTGs could serve as ideal prognostic biomarkers in ESCC.

Programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) inhibitors plus chemotherapy have been the standard of care in the first-line treatment of advanced gastric or gastroesophageal junction (G/GEJ) adenocarcinoma; however, the survival benefits are modest in patients with low programmed death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression. Here we investigated the efficacy and safety of cadonilimab (PD-1/cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen-4 (CTLA-4) bispecific antibody) plus chemotherapy as first-line treatment in G/GEJ adenocarcinoma. The prespecified interim analysis is reported here.
