Consensus Guideline for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Tyrosine Hydroxylase (TH) Deficiency
ABSTRACT Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) catalyses the rate‐limiting step in dopamine biosynthesis. Autosomal recessive tyrosine hydroxylase deficiency (THD) leads to clinical phenotypes reflecting the deficiency of dopamine, norepinephrine, or epinephrine in the central nervous system (CNS), presenting along a continuous spectrum from mild to severe forms ...

Prenatal alcohol exposure (PAE) enhances the development of aggressive pituitary tumors (PitNETs) in female rats. In this study, we found that PAE also promotes the development of PitNETs in male rats. Like in females, PAE treatment enhances the expression of stem cell and tumor aggressiveness genes and increases tumor cell proliferation rate ...

ACT001 Inhibits Tumor Progression and Modulates Immune Responses in Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancer
ACT001, a novel small‐molecule inhibitor, demonstrates significant antitumoral and immunomodulatory effects in NSCLC by inhibiting cell proliferation, migration, and invasion, inducing cell cycle arrest, and suppressing tumor growth. Mechanistically, it targets STAT1/STAT3, reduces PD‐L1 expression, and enhances granzyme B release in CD3+ T cells ...
