MGA Deletion Leads to Richter’s Transformation by Modulating Mitochondrial OXPHOS

MGA Deletion Promotes Richter’s Transformation by Regulating Mitochondrial Oxidative Phosphorylation This article mainly focuses on the transformation of chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) into aggressive lymphoma, known as Richter’s Transformation (RT), exploring the function and molecular mechanism of MGA (MAX Gene Associated). MGA is a functiona...

Super-relaxed Myosins Contribute to Respiratory Muscle Hibernation in Mechanically Ventilated Patients

The Impact of Super-Relaxed Myosin on Diaphragm Dysfunction in Ventilated Patients Background Weak diaphragm contraction is a common problem in patients receiving mechanical ventilation in intensive care units (ICUs). This leads to difficulties in weaning patients off ventilators, increases mortality rates, and imposes a significant economic burden...

Piplartine Attenuates Aminoglycoside-Induced TRPV1 Activity and Protects from Hearing Loss in Mice

Piplartine Attenuates Aminoglycoside-Induced TRPV1 Activity and Protects from Hearing Loss in Mice Academic Background Hearing loss is a serious global health problem affecting over 400 million people worldwide, according to the World Health Organization.

In Vivo Bruton's Tyrosine Kinase Inhibition Attenuates Alcohol-Associated Liver Disease by Regulating CD84-Mediated Granulopoiesis

Research Background Severe alcoholic hepatitis (ALD) is a fatal form of alcohol-associated liver disease (AALD). The course of ALD is usually accompanied by neutrophil infiltration in the liver, which significantly affects the severity of the condition. However, the specific effects of alcohol on neutrophil function remain unclear. Based on this, i...

Engineered Exosomes with a Photoinducible Protein Delivery System Enable CRISPR-Cas–Based Epigenome Editing in Alzheimer’s Disease

CRISPR-Cas-Based Epigenome Editing in Alzheimer’s Disease: Engineered Exosomes with a Photoinducible Protein Delivery System Background Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a common neurodegenerative disorder characterized by progressive decline in cognitive function and memory, with currently limited treatment options. Genome editing technologies, such as ...

Leptin Receptor Reactivation Restores Brain Function in Early-Life lepr-Deficient Mice

Reactivation of Insulin Receptors Can Restore Brain Function in Early Lepr-Deficient Mice Background Obesity is a chronic disease caused by excessive fat accumulation, affecting both body and brain health. Deficiency of the insulin receptor (Leptin receptor, Lepr) is considered an important factor in the pathogenesis of obesity. Insulin plays a cru...

Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogs Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells in Mouse Follicle Development

Transcriptome Dynamics and Cell Dialogue Between Oocytes and Granulosa Cells During Mouse Follicle Development Overview Follicle development and maturation is a complex, multi-stage process. During this process, dynamic gene expression in oocytes and surrounding somatic cells, as well as the dialogue between them, play crucial roles. This study rev...

Proteomic Stratification of Prognosis and Treatment Options for Small Cell Lung Cancer

Proteomic Subtyping of Small Cell Lung Cancer: Analysis of Prognosis and Treatment Strategies Research Background Small Cell Lung Cancer (SCLC) is a highly malignant and heterogeneous cancer characterized by rapid growth, early metastasis, and drug resistance, which limits treatment options and challenges prognostic prediction models. Current genom...
