NRP1 transport of cancer therapeutics mediated by tumor-penetrating peptides [PDF]
Whereas uptake of low molecular weight agents is generally inhibited in tumors due to high interstitial pressure, tumor uptake of macromolecules is increased due to enhanced permeability and retention (EPR). Small molecule drugs alone or incorporated in nanoparticles (NP) have largely been dependent on such physical tumor uptake (passive) for ...

STAT6 Upregulates NRP1 Expression in Endothelial Cells and Promotes Angiogenesis
The role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 6 (STAT6) in tumor growth has been widely recognized. However, its effects on the regulation of angiogenesis remain unclear. In this study, we found that STAT6 promoted angiogenesis, possibly by increasing the expression of neuropilin-1 (NRP1) in endothelial cells (ECs). Both STAT6 inhibitor (

Cancer pain: current practice and emerging targets
Cancer pain (CP) arises from a complex interplay between the tumour and its microenvironment. Many patients experience a mixed pain phenotype that encompasses nociceptive, neuropathic and neuroinflammatory mechanisms, and vary across tumour type and disease stage. Despite decades of intensive research, the mainstay of cancer pain treatment is still non‐

scRNA‐Seq in Gastric Cancer Reveals Macrophage‐Derived C1q as a Diagnostic Marker
Single‐cell sequencing of GC analyzed the tumor microenvironment and discovered the C1QA+ TAMs subpopulation with immunosuppressive function. The role of C1q in the prognosis and diagnosis of GC was demonstrated through plasma and tumor tissue from the GC cohort.

SGLT‐2 Inhibitors are Associated With a Lower Risk of Multiple Myeloma
ABSTRACT Aims We aimed to investigate drug response of sodium‐glucose transport protein‐2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) in multiple myeloma (MM), as SGLT2i have potential favorable effects on conditions related to MM. Methods We conducted a pharmacoepidemiologic study with a US nationwide health insurance claim data using Cox models to investigate the ...

Transcriptomic profiling of subpopulations of mouse embryonic subplate neurons
To study gene expression in subpopulations of cortical subplate neurons (Lpar1‐EGFP‐positive and D1B‐positive SpN clusters), we applied gene expression profiling, including bulk microarray analysis, single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq), and Visium spatial transcriptomics, and identified both overlapping and unique gene expression signatures ...

New perspectives on VEGF signalling in Alzheimer's disease
Emery et al. bring together findings from recent multi‐omic studies, including single‐cell mRNA analysis of human post‐mortem brain tissue, and proteomic analysis of matched CSF and blood samples in large clinical studies. The authors present evidence of the involvement of altered VEGF signalling in vascular and immune dysfunction and neurodegeneration

Endothelial Function Is Associated With Incident Diabetes Mellitus: The ELSA‐Brasil Cohort Study
ABSTRACT Aims Diabetes mellitus is associated with endothelial dysfunction, but the bidirectional nature of this relationship remains debated. We aimed to evaluate the association between microvascular endothelial function and incident diabetes in Brazilian adults and to assess potential effect modification by obesity status.
