MAGEA6 Engages a YY1‐Dependent Transcription to Dictate Perineural Invasion in Colorectal Cancer

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study investigates the role of MAGEA6 in perineural invasion (PNI) in colorectal cancer (CRC). MAGEA6 promotes CRC invasiveness by inhibiting YY1 ubiquitination, enhancing CXCL1 secretion, and recruiting Schwann cells. These findings highlight the potential of targeting the MAGEA6/YY1/CXCL1 axis for therapeutic strategies against PNI and tumor ...

Euthanasia: would elderly people from socio-economic classes D/E perform it or allow it on their relatives?

Kairós Gerontologia, 2014
75 opinions from elderly people of low socioeconomic classes living in a specific community were investigated, about whether they would allow euthanasia to be performed on family members. 77.3% wouldn't perform euthanasia.

Bacterial Capture‐Killing Capsules with Remodeling Bone Immune Microenvironment for the Effective Treatment of Osteomyelitis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The PC‐O@TOB capsules are designed to exhibit bactericidal effects, regulate the bone immune microenvironment by promoting M2 macrophage polarization, eliminate excessive ROS, and enhance bone regeneration, providing a novel multi‐dimensional approach for the treatment of osteomyelitis.

An elastoplastic model approach for the relaxation dynamics of active glasses [PDF]

arXiv
How activity affects the glassy dynamics is crucial for several biological processes. Furthermore, active glasses offer fascinating phenomenologies, extend the scope of equilibrium glasses, and can provide novel insights into the original problem. We introduce a family of novel approaches to investigating the relaxation dynamics of active glasses via ...

Amino Acid‐Sensing Neurons in the Anterior Piriform Cortex Control Brown Adipose Tissue Thermogenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study identifies a class of amino acid‐sensing neurons, APCCRH neurons, which regulate BAT thermogenesis. Leucine deficiency alters intrinsic excitability through GCN2 signaling pathway, activating APCCRH neurons, which in turn regulate BAT thermogenesis via projections to the lateral hypothalamus.

A Robust Generalization of the Active Subspace Method [PDF]

arXiv
We introduce a new global sensitivity measure called global activity score. The new measure is obtained from the global active subspace method, similar to the way the activity score measure is obtained from the active subspace method. We present theoretical results on the relationship between Sobol' sensitivity indices and global activity scores.

Microbial Biosensor for Sensing and Treatment of Intestinal Inflammation

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The engineered calprotectin biosensor detects gut inflammation, processes the signal through genetic regulation, and responds by expressing the reporter sfGFP and the therapeutic protein secIL10. This dual functionality enables the engineered biosensor not only to sense but also to mitigate gut inflammation, highlighting its potential for disease ...

Multifunctional Biomimetic Nanotherapeutics for Anti‐Oxidative and Anti‐Inflammatory Synergistic Therapy of Corneal Neovascularization

Aggregate, EarlyView.
An anti‐inflammatory and antioxidant metal‐organic framework (MOF) nanoplatform was prepared via one‐pot self‐assembly. In vitro and in vivo studies demonstrated that the prepared MVPC nanoparticles can effectively scavenge overproduced reactive oxygen species at diseased sites, enhance IL‐10 secretion, and suppress VEGFA expression, offering a novel ...

In vivo toxic and lethal cardiorespiratory effects of a synthetic quaternary ammonium salt derivative of haloperidol in mice

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
Hematoxylin–eosin (H&E) stains of the heart, liver, lung, and kidney show acute toxicity. Abstract Background To investigate the toxicity of N‐n‐butyl haloperidol iodide (F2), a quaternary ammonium salt derivative of haloperidol, in mice for potential therapeutic purposes. Methods The acute median lethal dose (LD50) of F2 was determined using the Bliss
