Neurons, immune cells, and other cellular components within the disease microenvironment (such as stromal cells and tumor cells) constitute a dynamically evolving ecosystem. Neurons directly modulate immune cell activity and inflammatory responses through the release of neurotransmitters (e.g., norepinephrine and CGRP), while also promoting tumor ...

A caspase-3 'death-switch' in colorectal cancer cells for induced and synchronous tumor apoptosis in vitro and in vivo facilitates the development of minimally invasive cell death biomarkers [PDF]
Novel anticancer drugs targeting key apoptosis regulators have been developed and are undergoing clinical trials. Pharmacodynamic biomarkers to define the optimum dose of drug that provokes tumor apoptosis are in demand; acquisition of longitudinal tumor

Midkine in Inflammatory and Toxic Conditions
Midkine (MK) is a member of midkine family which is composed of MK and pleotrophin (PTN). MK behaves like a cytokine and growth factor, promotes the proliferation, differentiation, survival, adhesion, migration of cells. MK expression usually increases during ischemia, inflammation, tissue repair, neoplastic transformation and in different toxic ...

Ventilator‐Induced Lung Injury: Mechanotransduction and Potential Therapeutic Targets
Mechanical ventilation (MV) is expected to undergo significant transformative advancements by 2050, with the emergence of personalized ventilation systems that promise to revolutionize respiratory care. However, the risk of ventilator‐induced lung injury (VILI) remains a significant concern at this stage and VILI still exists at that time.

Abstract Cervical cancer remains the fourth most common cancer affecting women worldwide, and incidences of other HPV‐related cancers continue to rise. For the development of effective prevention strategies in high‐risk patients, we aimed to better understand the roles of inflammatory pathways and the tumour microenvironment as the main driver of ...

Advancing Extracellular Vesicle Research: A Review of Systems Biology and Multiomics Perspectives
ABSTRACT Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are membrane‐bound vesicles secreted by various cell types into the extracellular space and play a role in intercellular communication. Their molecular cargo varies depending on the cell of origin and its functional state.

Long-Term Estrogen Receptor Beta Agonist Treatment Modifies the Hippocampal Transcriptome in Middle-Aged Ovariectomized Rats. [PDF]
Estradiol (E2) robustly activates transcription of a broad array of genes in the hippocampal formation of middle-aged ovariectomized rats via estrogen receptors (ERalpha, ERbeta, and G protein-coupled ER).
