Amelioration of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease by Inhibiting the Deubiquitylating Enzyme RPN11

Study on the Suppression of Deubiquitinase Rpn11 to Improve Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) Background Introduction Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and its more severe form, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), have become major global public health issues. The rapid increase in their incidence has made them leading causes of c...

Myeloid Beta-Arrestin 2 Depletion Alleviates Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatohepatitis through Metabolic Reprogramming of Macrophages

The Loss of β-arrestin 2 in Hepatic Macrophages Alleviates Metabolic Dysfunction-associated Steatohepatitis — Through Metabolic Reprogramming of Macrophages Background and Motivation Metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MASLD) is a globally prevalent health issue, affecting approximately 25% of the population. This disease includes...

m6A mRNA Methylation in Brown Fat Regulates Systemic Insulin Sensitivity via an Inter-Organ Prostaglandin Signaling Axis Independent of UCP1

The Role of m6A mRNA Methylation in Adipose Tissue: A Breakthrough Discovery of Cross-Organ Prostaglandin Signaling Axis in Insulin Sensitivity Regulation Research Background and Motivation In recent years, the potential role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in human metabolic regulation has attracted widespread attention.

A Prospective Study of Neoadjuvant Pembrolizumab Plus Chemotherapy for Resectable Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma: The Keystone-001 Trial

Background and Research Motivation Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma (ESCC) is a highly aggressive cancer, especially in locally advanced stages. Traditional neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy (NCRT) is the standard treatment method for this type of cancer. Despite its significant therapeutic effects, local recurrence and distant metastasis rates remai...

The Role of Combined Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CTLA-4 Therapy in Clonal Responses

Role of Combined Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CTLA-4 Therapy in Melanoma Immune Response Background Immune checkpoint inhibitors have made significant progress in clinical oncology, especially anti-PD-1 (anti-programmed death protein 1) and anti-CTLA-4 (anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated antigen 4) therapies, which have been proven to induce long-term re...

GABAergic Neuronal Lineage Development Determines Clinically Actionable Targets in Diffuse Hemispheric Glioma

Background and Research Objectives High-Grade Glioma (HGG) is a highly lethal primary brain tumor with a particularly high incidence and mortality rate in children and adolescents. HGG can be further divided into several subtypes, among which Diffuse Hemispheric Glioma, H3G34-mutant (DHG-H3G34), is a rare subtype with poor prognosis, mainly occurri...
