Isolation and Identification of Microbial Communities From Citrus limetta Waste
Citrus limetta generates substantial agro‐industrial waste, which poses significant food safety issues, and the current study isolated significant pathogenic microflora from Citrus limetta waste samples. ABSTRACT Sweet lime is one of the globally consumed fruits.

Somatic cell reprogramming for Parkinson's disease treatment
The fundamental purpose of cell reprogramming to treat Parkinson's disease is to generate dopaminergic neurons (DAN) and do transplantation. There are two ways to accomplish this. One method is to induce cells into induced DA neurons (iDAN) directly or to induce cells into induced pluripotent stem cells and ultimately into iDAN in vitro. Another option

Nanotechnology in brain cancer treatment: The role of gold nanoparticles as therapeutic enhancers
This review highlights the potential of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) in overcoming the blood‐brain barrier (BBB) to improve brain tumor treatment. By enabling targeted drug delivery and enhancing therapies like radiotherapy, phototherapy, and chemotherapy, AuNPs offer a promising approach for safer, more effective treatments of glioblastoma and other ...

A hitchhiker's guide to single‐cell epigenomics: Methods and applications for cancer research
Abstract Genetic mutations are well known to influence tumorigenesis, tumor progression, treatment response and relapse, but the role of epigenetic variation in cancer progression is still largely unexplored. The lack of epigenetic understanding in cancer evolution is in part due to the limited availability of methods to examine such a heterogeneous ...

Enhancer‐dependent gene regulation in space, time, and malignancies
Abstract Control of cell‐type‐specific gene activation requires the coordinated activity of distal regulatory elements, including enhancers, whose inputs must be temporally integrated. Dysregulation of this regulatory capacity, such as aberrant usage of enhancers, can result in malignant transformation of cells.

Epigenetic reprogramming in multiple myeloma—Challenges and opportunities
Abstract In cancer, mutational processes act in concert with epigenetic reprogramming to endow malignant cells with hallmark properties that underpin tumorigenesis. Compared with the relatively rigid and slow processes of genetic evolution, the plastic nature of chromatin enables cells to adapt to a changing environment more rapidly.

Inhibition of autotaxin activity with IOA‐289 decreases fibrosis in mouse E0771 breast tumors
What's New? Lysophosphatidate is one of the critical mediators of fibrosis formation in the tumor microenvironment, which hinders immune surveillance and therapy. Building on their previous finding that blocking lysophosphatidate production with the autotaxin inhibitor, IOA‐289 decreased tumor growth by approximately 60%, here the authors show that ...

What's New? Poor prognosis in cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) is attributed to late diagnosis and intrinsic chemoresistance. In particular, resistance mechanisms that suppress apoptosis limit the effectiveness of gemcitabine‐based regimens, which remain the standard treatment.

Transcriptional repression of SOX2 by p53 in cancer cells regulates cell identity and migration
What's New? SOX2 is one of the key developmental genes with a reported altered expression in many tumors. The mechanisms underlying SOX2 regulation in cancer, however, remain elusive. This study shows that TP53 transcriptionally regulates SOX2 through binding to its promoter and the SRR2 enhancer.

SOX10, MITF, and microRNAs: Decoding their interplay in regulating melanoma plasticity
Abstract Recent studies show that the dysregulation of the transcription factor SOX10 is essential for the development and progression of melanoma. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) can regulate the expression of transcription factors at the post‐transcriptional level. The interactions between SOX10 and its targeting miRNAs form network motifs such as feedforward and
