Abstract Liver cancer stem cells (CSCs) account for tumor initiation, heterogeneity and therapy resistance. However, the role of small nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) in the regulation of liver CSCs remains largely unclear. Here, this work identifies a conserved H/ACA box snoRNA SNORA74A which is highly expressed in liver CSCs.

In Silico Design, Extended Molecular Dynamic Simulations and Binding Energy Calculations for a New Series of Dually Acting Inhibitors against EGFR and HER2 [PDF]
Starting from the lead structure we have identified in our previous works, we are extending our insight understanding of its potential inhibitory effect against both EGFR and HER2 receptors. Herein and using extended molecular dynamic simulations and different scoring techniques, we are providing plausible explanations for the observed inhibitory ...

Inducing ferroptosis is a promising strategy for combating tumor resistance. Upregulated PIP5K1A competes with NRF2 for KEAP1 binding, which decreases the ubiquitination degradation of NRF2 and promotes its nuclear translocation, thereby suppressing ferroptosis, and ultimately driving hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tumorigeneses and sorafenib ...

InhibiDistilbert: Knowledge Distillation for a ReLU and Addition-based Transformer [PDF]
This work explores optimizing transformer-based language models by integrating model compression techniques with inhibitor attention, a novel alternative attention mechanism. Inhibitor attention employs Manhattan distances and ReLU activations instead of the matrix multiplications and softmax activation of the conventional scaled dot-product attention.

Substrate specificity and structural investigation into PepO and PepW : two peptidases from Lactobacillus rhamnosus : a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Biochemistry at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand [PDF]
The proteolytic systems of lactic acid bacteria have important roles in the maturation and flavour development of cheese. Lactic acid bacteria pepetidases contribute to the taste of cheese through the production of low-molecular weight peptides and free ...

Carbon nanosol (CNS) exhibits rapid root penetration capacity, enhancing plant growth through boosting stomatal density and antioxidative enzyme activity. Single‐cell transcriptomic profiling uncovers cell type‐specific gene expression patterns and developmental trajectories during CNS‐mediated growth promotion.
