N88S Seipin-related Seipinopathy is a Lipidopathy Associated with Loss of Iron Homeostasis Academic Background Seipin is a protein encoded by the human BSCL2 gene and the yeast SEI1 gene, forming an endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-bound homo-oligomer. This oligomer plays a crucial role in targeting ER-lipid droplet (LD) contact sites, facilitating the d...

PRDX5 and PRDX6 in Oxidative Stress Response During Cryopreservation of Bull Sperm Academic Background Cryopreservation is a critical step in animal breeding and assisted reproductive technologies, particularly in the preservation of bull sperm. However, oxidative stress generated during cryopreservation significantly reduces sperm quality, leading...

FOXC1-Mediated Serine Metabolism Reprogramming Enhances Colorectal Cancer Growth and 5-FU Resistance Background Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most common cancer globally and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths. Although surgical resection and adjuvant chemotherapy are the primary treatments for CRC, tumor development and chemot...

Staphylococcus Aureus Vesicles Impair Cutaneous Wound Healing Through p38 MAPK-MerTK Cleavage-Mediated Inhibition of Macrophage Efferocytosis Background Introduction Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus) is one of the primary pathogens causing chronic wound infections, particularly in diabetic patients, with an infection rate as high as 65%. One of the...

The Critical Role of Kindlin-3 in β2 Integrin Clustering Academic Background Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells in human blood, and their recruitment is essential for innate immunity and inflammatory responses. The initial and critical step in neutrophil recruitment is their adhesion to vascular endothelial cells, which dep...

Induction of Tertiary Lymphoid Structures in Glioma Immunotherapy and Their Anti-Tumor Immune Effects Background Introduction Glioma is a highly malignant brain tumor characterized by limited lymphocyte infiltration in the tumor microenvironment (glioma microenvironment, GME), presenting an “immune desert” state. This characteristic makes glioma in...

The Critical Role of Wnt/β-catenin Signaling in Choroid Plexus Tumorigenesis Background Introduction The choroid plexus (CHP) is a secretory epithelial structure located in the brain ventricles, primarily responsible for the secretion of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and the establishment of the blood-CSF barrier. Choroid plexus tumors (CPTs) are rare ...

The Role of ENPP1 in Brain Metastasis of HER2-Positive Breast Cancer Academic Background Brain metastasis (BM) is a severe neurological complication in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer (HER2+ BC), with an incidence rate as high as 50%. The formation of brain metastasis is closely related to how tumor cells cross the blood-brain barrier (BB...

Single-Cell and Spatial Transcriptomics Study of Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors Academic Background Meningeal Solitary Fibrous Tumors (SFTs) are rare mesenchymal tumors originating from the meninges of the central nervous system (CNS). Although SFTs are histologically similar to other meningeal tumors (such as meningiomas), their unique clinical...

HER2 Expression Dynamics in Breast Cancer Brain Metastases and Its Impact on Survival Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, and brain metastases (BrMs) pose a significant challenge for patients. In recent years, with the prolonged survival of breast cancer patients, the incidence of brain metastases has g...
