Berberine alleviates cell pyroptosis in diabetic retinopathy by regulating AKT1, JUN, and STAT3
Berberine alleviates diabetic retinopathy by reducing pyroptosis through AKT1/JUN/STAT3 regulation, as validated in rat models via network pharmacology, molecular docking, and experimental assays. Abstract Berberine (BBR) exerts an effective protection for diabetic retinopathy (DR), but the underlying key molecular mechanism remains unknown; this study

The olive biophenols oleuropein and hydroxytyrosol selectively reduce proliferation, influence the cell cycle, and induce apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cells [PDF]
Current chemotherapy drugs for pancreatic cancer only offer an increase in survival of up to six months. Additionally, they are highly toxic to normal tissues, drastically affecting the quality of life of patients. Therefore, the search for novel agents,

Abstract Gastric signet ring cell carcinoma (GSRCC) is a special type of gastric cancer common in young women. Diffuse gastric cancer (DGC) begins with intramucosal lesions comprising differentiated GSRCC cells. Genetically, GSRCC and DGC are clonally identical, with their morphology influenced by extracellular Wnt signaling.

We utilized single‐cell RNA sequencing (scRNA‐seq) to investigate cellular heterogeneity and signaling networks in aortic dissection (AD) tissues compared to adjacent normal tissues. The analysis identified five smooth muscle cell (SMC) subtypes, with SMC2 linked to fibrosis and SMC3 associated with inflammation.

Suppression of cell cycle progression by Jun dimerization protein (JDP2) involves down-regulation of cyclin A2 [PDF]
We report here a novel role for Jun dimerization protein-2 (JDP2) as a regulator of the progression of normal cells through the cell cycle. To determine the role of JDP2 in vivo, we generated Jdp2 knock-out (Jdp2KO) mice by targeting exon 1 to disrupt ...

The transcription factor Foxo1 controls germinal center B cell proliferation in response to T cell help [PDF]
Germinal center (GC) B cells cycle between two states, the light zone (LZ) and the dark zone (DZ), and in the latter they proliferate and hypermutate their immunoglobulin genes. How this functional transition takes place is still controversial.

N6‐Methyladenosine (m6A) in Liver Disease: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Therapeutic Potential
ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence highlights the critical role of epigenetic modifications, particularly N6‐methyladenosine (m6A), in liver disease. As the most abundant RNA modification in eukaryotic cells, m6A is dynamically regulated by multicomponent m6A methyltransferases (e.g., METTL3 and METTL14), demethylases (FTO and ALKBH5), and m6A‐binding ...

Prostate-associated gene 4 (PAGE4), an intrinsically disordered cancer/testis antigen, is a novel therapeutic target for prostate cancer [PDF]
Prostate-associated gene 4 (PAGE4) is a remarkably prostate-specific Cancer/Testis Antigen that is highly upregulated in the human fetal prostate and its diseased states but not in the adult normal gland. PAGE4 is an intrinsically disordered protein (IDP)

This study develops an interpretable gradient‐boosting model that accurately identifies drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) using routine laboratory data. The model explains key clinical features through SHapley Additive exPlanations analysis and detects DILI earlier than expert evaluation, offering a transparent and practical tool for precision ...
