Intron Retention of DDX39A Driven by SNRPD2 is a Crucial Splicing Axis for Oncogenic MYC/Spliceosome Program in Hepatocellular Carcinoma [PDF]
RNA splicing is a dynamic molecular process in response to environmental stimuli and is strictly regulated by the spliceosome. Sm proteins, constituents of the spliceosome, are key components that mediate splicing reactions; however, their potential role

DIGitoxin to Improve ouTcomes in patients with advanced chronic Heart Failure (DIGIT-HF): Baseline characteristics compared to recent randomized controlled heart failure trials. [PDF]
Effects of digitoxin compared to placebo on efficacy and safety in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Primary endpoint: time to all‐cause death and first hospitalization for worsening heart failure (whatever occurs first). ACEi, angiotensin‐converting enzyme inhibitor; ARB, angiotensin receptor blocker; ARNI, angiotensin

Inhibitory Effects of Digoxin and Digitoxin on Cell Growth in Human Ovarian Cancer Cell Line SKOV-3
Background: Cardiac glycosides (CGs) possess a chemical structure similar to steroids, and are inhibitors of the sodium potassium pump. An anti-tumor effect of CGs in breast and prostate cancers has been reported, but the effect of CGs on ovarian cancer ...

The inotropic agent digitoxin strengthens desmosomal adhesion in cardiac myocytes in an ERK1/2-dependent manner [PDF]
Desmosomal proteins are components of the intercalated disc and mediate cardiac myocyte adhesion. Enhancement of cardiac myocyte cohesion, referred to as \textquotedblpositive adhesiotropy\textquotedbl, was demonstrated to be a function of sympathetic ...
