Lung cancer stands as the second most common cancer worldwide and it is estimated that about 85% of diagnosed cases are non-small-cell lung cancers, with lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) the most common subtype.
Excessive inflammatory response and endothelial barrier dysfunction are the two major pathophysiological changes in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). Sphingosine-1-phosphate S1P3 receptor (S1PR3) is a G protein-coupled receptor involved in the regulation of inflammation and vascular barrier function in some diseases, but its function in ARDS is not fully understood.
Researchers from Sun Yat-sen University Cancer Center (SYSUCC) presented data from a study that aimed to assess the role of trophoblast cell-surface antigen-2 (TROP-2) in penile squamous cell carcinoma (PSCC).
Researchers from Federation University Australia and affiliated organizations have reported data from a study that aimed to assess the therapeutic efficacy of the poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor olaparib in a large animal model of pulmonary fibrosis.
Previous studies have demonstrated that CaMKKβ/AMPK signaling plays an important role in regulating mitochondrial homeostasis and that down-regulation of CaMKKβ could contribute to the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD).
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) during diabetes may manifest several phenotypes, including diabetic nephropathy (DN), nondiabetic renal disease (NDRD) or a mixed form.
Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a subtype of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) that represents around 40% of all lung tumors. Despite therapeutic advancements, LUAD remains a leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide. Previous research found that ferredoxin-1 (FDX1) dysregulation plays a role in LUAD progression. FDX1 is a crucial regulator of copper homeostasis and cuproptosis, a regulated form of cell death triggered by excessive copper levels.
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University presented findings from a study that aimed to assess the metabolic landscape of intestinal fibrosis in Crohn’s disease.
Acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a multifactorial disease, the pathogenesis of which involves environmental exposure and genetic predisposition.
Researchers from Duke University presented findings from a study that aimed to assess the physiological role of Piezo1, a mechano-gated ion channel that is highly expressed in pancreatic acinar cells, in the exocrine pancreas.
