The constitutive androstane receptor (CAR) modulates the transcription of numerous genes involving drug metabolism, energy homeostasis, and cell proliferation. While rodent studies suggest an oncogenic role for murine CA...

Abstract Vibrio cholerae is a human diarrheal pathogen and an estuarine organism that associates with both terrestrial and aquatic arthropods. Using the model terrestrial arthropod Drosophila melanogaster, we previously ...

IntroductionC5orf46 is a recently discovered tumor-progression-related gene whose function in most cancers is still unknown, especially its potential role in regulating the tumor microenvironment (TME). The aim of the st...

Abstract Objective To compare the differential activation characteristics of Toll-like receptor 5 (TLR5) agonist KFD and Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist R837 on nasal epithelial cells (NECs) and bone marrow-derive...

Abstract Background Epigenetic mechanisms including DNA methylation are assumed to play crucial roles in the maintenance of genome integrity, regulation of gene expression and development, and their increasing exploitati...

Abstract Background Endometriosis is a highly prevalent, hormone-driven chronic disease characterized by the growth of endometrial tissue outside the uterine cavity. Despite its impact, the mechanisms underlying the dise...

Abstract Introduction Calcium hydroxyapatite (CaHa) is widely used in aesthetic procedures as a collagen biostimulator. Objective This study evaluated how different concentrations of CaHA (0.5% to 2.5%) in three commer...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to systematically identify and validate KIF15 as a potential diagnostic and prognostic biomarker in colon cancer (CC) using integrated bioinformatics analyses. We further explored its ...

Abstract Background Endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) is linked to the progression of atherosclerosis (AS). The function of ERS-related genes (ERSRGs) in AS remains ambiguous, hence, this study sought to examined their ...

BackgroundHypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is one of the most common genetic cardiovascular conditions, which may be linked to ion channel dysfunction. In decades, Genetic studies in HCM patients have shown that multipl...

Background: The progression of pulpitis is strongly affected by the fate of dental pulp cells, with their modes of cell death determining whether inflammation resolves or leads to irreversible necrosis. Cuproptosis, a co...

BackgroundAcquired resistance to cisplatin-based chemotherapy is common in patients with gastric cancer (GC) and significantly limits treatment efficacy. The aim of this study was to investigate molecular features associ...

ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Obesity is often accompanied by skeletal muscle atrophy, which aggravates insulin resistance and metabolic dysfunction. Chronic inflammation is implicated in this process, but the molecular med...

Abstract Background Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is considered a revolution in gene expression studies and offers significant benefits across various fields of biomedical or clinical applications. However, a hi...

Deficiency in ELF4, X-linked (DEX) is a monogenic autoinflammatory disorder caused by loss-of-function (LOF) mutations in the ETS transcription factor ELF4. This rare disorder primarily affects young, male patients due t...

Abstract Background Aging alters the systemic steroid environment, including reductions in circulating androgens. In peripheral tissues, androgen exposure is regulated mainly by local steroid metabolism, which can activa...

BackgroundAluminum (Al) is a lightweight metal that is widely present in the environment and the human body. It has been documented to cause various adverse health effects including the suppression of humoral immunity.Ob...

Abstract B-cell translocation gene 3 (BTG3), a tumor suppressor, is reduced in expression in several malignancies, including ovarian cancer, colorectal cancer, and gastric cancer, but its role in oral squamous cell carci...

Despite effective antiretroviral therapy (ART), HIV-associated neurocognitive disorders (HAND) are found in nearly one-third of patients. Using a cellular co-culture system including neurons and human microglia infected ...

Abstract Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells constitute the industry-standard platform for the production of complex therapeutic proteins, yet genomic heterogeneity arising from random integration leads to clonal variabili...

Forkhead box P3 (FOXP3) is the master transcription factor of regulatory T cells (Tregs) and is essential for maintaining immune tolerance. FOXP3 is stably expressed in Tregs, driving their suppressive function, and it i...

It has been established that ZFP36 (also known as Tristetraprolin or TTP) promotes mRNA degradation of proteins involved in inflammation, proliferation and tumor invasiveness. In mammary epithelial cells ZFP36 expression...

Heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1), which catalyzes heme degradation releasing iron, regulates several processes related to breast cancer. Iron metabolism deregulation is also connected with several tumor processes. However the reg...
