ABSTRACT Ovarian cancer exhibits high molecular heterogeneity and metastatic potential, contributing to its status as a leading cause of gynecologic cancer mortality. Cell polarity is essential in tumorigenesis, yet the role of Crumbs family proteins (CRBs), key regulators of apical–basal polarity, in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear. In

MiR‐155‐5p promotes endothelial–mesenchymal transition and oxidative stress in diabetic retinopathy
ABSTRACT Aims MicroRNA (miRNA) has been confirmed to be related to gene expression regulation and disease progression. However, the role of miR‐155‐5p in diabetic retinopathy remains unclear. Materials and Methods The retinal microvascular endothelial cells (RMECs) were treated with high glucose, and then the changes of miR‐155‐5p, endothelial cell ...

Expression profile of circular RNAs in type 2 diabetes mellitus patients with retinopathy
ABSTRACT Aims/Introduction Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is a prevalent chronic complication of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), contributing significantly to vision impairment. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) have emerged as key regulators in the pathogenesis of DR.

Single‐cell transcriptomics reveals that the human retina expresses a broad repertoire of steroid hormone biosynthesis and estrogen signalling genes. Functional validation in retinal explants shows that local estrogen synthesis is neuroprotective, preventing photoreceptor death and limiting microglial activation. Abstract Steroid hormones, particularly

ORMDL proteins in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) negatively regulate serine palmitoyltransferase (SPT) activity in response to the rate of de novo sphingolipid synthesis. Disruption of ceramide homeostasis by myriocin or fumonisin B1 (FB1) appears to destabilize the ORMDL‐SPT complex, leading to ORMDL degradation as a feedback mechanism.
