Abstract Background A high prevalence of child overweight and obesity worldwide calls for innovative multi-setting intervention approaches, and thorough evaluation. This paper describes the protocol for the process evalu...

Abstract Genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 knockout screens are often used to experimentally evaluate gene function. However, the efficacy of individual sgRNAs targeting unique genes varies and is difficult to integrate. In this s...

Abstract Dormant cancer cells are a significant source of cancer recurrence and metastasis and exhibit robust resistance to conventional therapies. Therefore, the exploration of novel therapeutic strategies to eliminate ...

Abstract N6-methyladenosine (m6A) is the most abundant internal modification in eukaryotic mRNA and plays a crucial role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Recent studies have revealed that m6A modification is dysr...

Abstract Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are pivotal in the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). The efficacy of targeting the CSF-1/CSF-1R axis in PDAC remains uncerta...

Abstract Osteoarthritis is an aging-related systemic disease involving the crosstalk of multiple organs/tissues in metabolism and inflammation, yet little is known about the contribution of liver and marrow adipose tissu...

Cu, a common essential trace element in the human body, is involved in multiple physiological and pathological processes. Cuproptosis, a recently proposed form of cell death, is triggered by Cu overload. It primarily tar...

Abstract Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) comprises a heterogeneous group of biliary malignant tumors with poor prognosis and limited therapeutic options. Recent studies have highlighted the role of the immune system in the deve...

We present a candidate sensor for future spectroscopic applications, such as a Stage-5 Spectroscopic Survey Experiment or the Habitable Worlds Observatory. This type of charge-coupled device (CCD) sensor features multipl...

ABSTRACT Selective recognition of cancer‐associated proteins (CAPs) by antibodies, followed by their delivery into the intracellular organelle, the lysosome, results in targeted degradation of CAPs and suppresses the g...

Abstract Background Cryptosporidium spp. is an important intestinal protozoan parasite causing morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised patients, particularly those with HIV+/AIDS. A cross-sectional study was conduct...

Abstract Angiogenesis and its maturation play a crucial role in the progression and prognosis of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Tumor growth relies on an adequate blood supply to meet metabolic demands, w...

ABSTRACT Genome engineering plays a crucial role in the rapidly growing fields of metabolic engineering and synthetic biology. Chromosomal integration and stable expression of functional genes or large metabolic pathways...

ABSTRACT Background Intervertebral disc degeneration (IVDD), a prevalent spinal disorder, is closely associated with abnormal mechanical stress. The nucleus pulposus (NP), annulus fibrosus (AF), and cartilaginous endplat...

Abstract Objective This study aimed to investigate the effect of miRNAs differentially expressed in serum exosomes on endothelial cells after myocardial infarction. Design & methods Specific pathogen-free male Sprague–...

CD40L-deficient X-linked hyper IgM (XHIGM) syndrome is characterized by defective B cell class switching, deficiency of immunoglobulins G, A, and E, plus other immune abnormalities due to disrupted CD40L–CD40 interacti...

Abstract The rapid growth of ultra-processed food (UPF) production, marketing, and consumption in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) is driving dietary shifts linked to obesity and other diet-related non-communicable diseases (NCD...

Abstract Background Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells are pivotal in biopharmaceutical production, yet balancing high recombinant protein yield with cell survival remains challenging. While previous studies have targeted...

ABSTRACT Cancer is driven by genomic lesions and malignancy‐promoting transcriptional programs. In blood cancers, both are often interconnected as lesions frequently affect transcription factor (TF)‐encoding genes. T...

The escalating global prevalence of antibiotic-resistant Helicobacter pylori strains has undermined conventional eradication therapies, heightening the burden of associated conditions such as gastritis, peptic ulcers and...

Abstract Anaplasma marginale is an obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacterium found in ruminants’ erythrocytes and is the etiological agent of bovine anaplasmosis. The bacterium’s genetic diversity has been chara...

BackgroundChronic hepatitis B (CHB) caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) remains a major global health burden. The immune-active (IA) phase, characterized by positive Hepatitis B surface antigens (HBsAg), elevated alani...

Abstract Objective Myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) are associated with a high risk of progression to leukemia, highlighting the critical need to explore novel therapeutic agents. Based on network pharmacology predicti...

This study investigated the occurrence of canine distemper virus (CDV) by evaluating the presence of viral RNA within urine samples of dogs from Uberlândia, MG, with clinical manifestations suggestive of infection by CD...
