Decreased Serum 5‐HT: Clinical Correlates and Regulatory Role in NMJ of MG
ABSTRACT Objective Although 5‐Hydroxytryptamine (5‐HT) indirectly stimulates muscle contraction and participates in regulating Acetylcholine receptor (AChR) cluster homeostasis in cellular, animal, and clinical studies, evidence regarding its potential to modulate muscle contraction in myasthenia gravis (MG) remains limited.

FUS mutant human motoneurons display altered transcriptome and microRNA pathways with implications for ALS pathogenesis [PDF]
The FUS gene has been linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). FUS is a ubiquitous RNA-binding protein, and the mechanisms leading to selective motoneuron loss downstream of ALS-linked mutations are largely unknown.

Objective Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease characterized by tissue fibrosis, vasculopathy, and immune dysregulation. Our objectives were to quantify the overall and site‐specific cancer risks in patients with SSc compared to the general population, examine temporal trends in cancer incidence following SSc diagnosis, and explore ...

MicroRNA-34 family: a potential tumor suppressor and therapeutic candidate in cancer
MicroRNA-34 (miR-34) has been reported to be dysregulated in various human cancers and regarded as a tumor suppressive microRNA because of its synergistic effect with the well-known tumor suppressor p53.

This study highlights how cervical carcinoma progression is shaped by immune–tumor interactions within the TME. M2‐TAM infiltration, regulated through STAT3/NF‐κB and linked to CXCL12–CXCR4, promotes immune suppression, angiogenesis, and poor survival.
