The Regulatory Role and Mechanism of Myoferlin in Mitophagy During Papillary Thyroid Carcinogenesis

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) is the most prevalent subtype of thyroid cancer; however, the regulatory mechanisms by which mitophagy influences its progression remain inadequately elucidated. This study sought to examine the role of myoferlin (MYOF) in mitophagy and its molecular basis during PTC development. Utilizing three paired PTC and

Impact of Environmental Microparticles on Insect Olfaction

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Terrestrial insects underpin key ecosystem services, including pollination, herbivory regulation, decomposition, nutrient cycling, and disease control. These functions depend on chemical communication that guides insects to food, mates, hosts, shelters, and oviposition sites while helping them avoid threats.
