Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University presented data from a study that aimed to assess the role of long intergenic non-protein coding RNA 1605 (LINC01605) in the progression of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).
Fermitin family homolog 1 (FERMT1), a member of the kindlin family of focal adhesion proteins, plays a pivotal role in mediating integrin-dependent cell adhesion and signaling. Scientists at Fujian Medical University (FJMU) assessed the functional significance of FERMT1 in glioma progression and stemness.
Researchers from Qingdao University and affiliated organizations announced data from a preclinical study using the phosphodiesterase 7 (PDE7) inhibitor BRL-50481 to assess the involvement of PDE7 in the stress-induced behavioral and neuron morphological changes.
Researchers from Shandong University and affiliated organizations have presented data from a study that aimed to assess the role of endosome-associated trafficking regulator 1 (ENTR1) in adipogenesis.
Researchers from Chongqing Medical University and affiliated organizations reported findings from studies they performed to assess the role of zinc-finger protein 334 (ZNF334) in cervical cancer.
Researchers from Shanxi Medical University presented data from a study that aimed to assess the effects of delayed treatment with G protein-coupled receptor 65 (GPR65) agonist BTB-09089 on neurorestoration following ischemic stroke in mice.
Breast cancer is the leading cancer malignancy in women and triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is among the most aggressive types as it is insensitive to endocrine and HER2-targeted therapy because it lacks all three hormonal receptors.
Previous studies have demonstrated that the natural product isotoosendanin (ITSN) inhibited triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) metastasis by preventing epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and lamellipodia formation regulated by the TGF-β–Smad2/3 signaling pathway in TNBC cells through directly binding to TGF-β receptor type 1 (TGF-βR1).
Tumor cells use metabolic reprogramming for their survival and to fuel and boost their proliferation. Only 15% of patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) benefit from immune checkpoint blockade therapy, mainly due to tumor microenvironment changes to promote CD8+ T-cell exhaustion and inactivation allowing tumor cells to escape from immunity.
Previous studies have suggested the importance of cholesterol metabolism in multiple myeloma (MM) cells. Since ferroptosis is closely related to lipid metabolism, researchers from Houston Methodist Research Institute aimed to investigate the crosstalk between metabolic reprogramming and ferroptosis in MM cells.
