The homeostasis of cytosolic calcium (Ca2+) is crucial for several physiological functions such as cell motility and neuronal transmission, among others. In this process, the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor type 3 (ITPR3) plays a key role in the release of intracellular Ca2+.
Gastric cancer (GC) is among the most malignant tumors in terms of incidence and mortality. Early diagnosis can improve the survival rate of patients, but there is a lack of effective biomarkers for the diagnosis and prognosis of GC. Zinc finger protein 1 homologue (ZFP1) plays an important role in transcriptional regulation during embryonic development. Its homologue, MLLT10, had been found to promote carcinogenesis in leukemia and colon cancer, but limited knowledge exists on the role of ZFP1 in cancer.
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide and is characterized by an abnormal inflammatory reaction of the lungs to inhaled particles, such as cigarette smoke. On the other hand, the transcription factor interferon responsive factors (IRFs) are key elements in the production of type I and III interferons. A group of researchers in Italy looked into the relationship between interferon regulatory factor 3 (IRF3) and COPD outcomes.
Researchers from University of Bristol and affiliated organizations performed studies to identify new risk factors that would predict future cardiovascular events after an incident stroke.
Researchers from Shanghai Jiao Tong University and affiliated organizations have presented data from a study that aimed to identify the prognostic markers related to abnormal methylation in ocular melanoma, including uveal melanoma (UM).
Researchers from Qingdao University have presented data from a study that aimed to investigate the role of HIG1 hypoxia inducible domain family member 1B (HIGD1B) in gastric cancer (GC). The expression of HIGD1B was analyzed in GC and normal gastric tissues from multiple independent cohorts from public databases and verified using cell experiments.
Investigators at the University of Edinburgh have identified a genomic location linked to sensitivity to gabapentin in individuals with idiopathic chronic pelvic pain.
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).
Researchers from University of Tsukuba published data from a study designed to identify novel biomarkers for predicting treatment responses to nivolumab plus ipilimumab combination therapy.
