Synthetic Lethality Beyond BRCA: A Phase I Study of Rucaparib and Irinotecan in Metastatic Solid Tumors with Homologous Recombination-Deficiency Mutations

Research Background In recent years, Poly ADP-ribose Polymerase (PARP) inhibitors have shown significant efficacy as a key approach to treat hereditary BRCA1/2 mutation cancers. However, their effectiveness on tumors with other homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) gene mutations such as ATM, CDK12, and CHEK2 has been less satisfactory. Hence, ...

Targeting Dysregulated Phago-/Auto-Lysosomes in Sertoli Cells to Ameliorate Late-Onset Hypogonadism

Research Background This study focuses on late-onset hypogonadism (LOH), aiming to uncover the mechanisms associated with age-related testicular function deviations, such as LOH, which are not yet fully understood. Utilizing single-cell RNA sequencing technology, the study analyzed the testicles of humans with LOH to identify supporting cells (SCs)...

Estrogen Counteracts Age-Related Decline in Beige Adipogenesis Through the NAMPT-Regulated ER Stress Response

Reversal of Beige Fat Decline by Estrogen Through NAMPT-Regulated Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress Response Abstract: Brown adipocytes are valued for their potential therapeutic effects against metabolic diseases. However, the metabolic advantages provided by these cells deteriorate with age. Our research shows that treating mice with estrogen (E2), a ...
