The article investigates the role of annexin A3 in sepsis-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) using HK2 human proximal tubular epithelial cells as a model. When these cells are exposed to lipopolysaccharide (LPS), mimicking septic conditions, they show …
The article provides an overview of SARS-CoV-2’s viral replication and mutation rates, highlighting its high mutation rate due to the instability of its RNA genetic material. The virus enters host cells through the spike protein binding to the …
The article examines the mechanisms linking chronic stress to inflammation and cancer progression. Chronic stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, resulting in the release of stress hormones like cortisol, which modulate …
K-Ras mutations are significant oncogenic alterations found in various cancers, particularly pancreatic, colorectal, and lung cancers. The K-Ras protein acts as a molecular switch, and mutations, especially the aggressive G12D variant, lead to …
The article discusses the critical role of alternative splicing (AS) in T cell function and its implications for cancer immunotherapy. AS allows a single gene to produce multiple protein isoforms, enhancing T cell diversity and modulating immune …
The article discusses the significant role of circular RNA circPSD3 and microRNA miR-224-5p in papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC). CircPSD3 is overexpressed in PTC tissues and correlates with tumor progression, suggesting its potential as a biomarker …
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is increasingly recognized for its significant role in cancer treatment, particularly in China, where it is valued for its efficacy, cost-effectiveness, and accessibility. TCM employs various modalities, including …
The article discusses the significance of TOM40, a key oncogene in Oral Squamous Cell Carcinoma (OSCC), which is a prevalent and aggressive form of head and neck cancer. TOM40 is crucial for mitochondrial function and is linked to increased tumor …
The S100A8/A9 complex is pivotal in enhancing Th17 cell responses through dendritic cells, promoting the expression of MHC II and cytokines like IL-6 and IL-23, which leads to significant Th17 differentiation. Inhibiting S100A8/A9 has shown …
