Bone defect repair continues to present a significant clinical challenge due to the limitations of traditional grafting techniques and the complexity involved in establishing a conducive regenerative microenvironment. In this study, we described the development of a multifunctional biomimetic periosteum based on electrospun gelatin methacryloyl (GelMA) membranes functionalized with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2)-loaded M2 macrophage-derived exosomes. This engineered periosteum replicated the structural orientation and functional properties of natural periosteum, thereby providing a synergistic approach to promoting bone regeneration.

Integration of torque teno mini virus (TTMV) generating the TTMV::RARA fusion represents a newly recognized subtype of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) that merits detailed investigation. We present the first comprehensive characterization of its epidemiologic profile, clinical presentation, virologic characteristics, and underlying molecular mechanisms. Our findings indicate that TTMV::RARA is more prevalent in pediatric patients and represents the second most common retinoic acid receptor fusion after PML::RARA.

Lymphomas are a hematopoietic malignancies that encompass over 90 subtypes. Traditionally, they have been categorized into two main groups, non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) and Hodgkin lymphoma (HL). Based on morphology and immunohistochemistry, HL can be classified into nodular lymphocyte-predominant Hodgkin lymphoma (NLPHL) and classical HL (cHL).

Background: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of a linearly cross-linked sodium hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrogel used as a retinal patch in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment (RRD).

Methods: This multicenter, randomised, parallel-controlled trial included 313 participants diagnosed with RRD classified as PVR grade A or B, excluding those with giant retinal tears (defined as tears spanning more than one quadrant). Participants were randomly assigned to either an experimental group or a control group.

Uranium/cadmium (U/Cd) pollution poses a significant global environmental challenge, and phytoremediation offers a sustainable solution for heavy metal contamination. However, the mechanisms by which plants survive U/Cd stress remain unclear. Here, we conducted soil culture experiments of moso bamboo seedlings under U/Cd stress (U, Cd and U + Cd) to examine the effects of it on plant growth, mineral metabolism, and rhizosphere micro-environment.

Elevated lactate levels increase the risk of liver cancer progression. However, the mechanisms by which lactate promotes liver cancer progression remain poorly understood. Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), characterized by the loss of epithelial cells polarity and cell-cell adhesion, leading to the acquisition of mesenchymal-like phenotypes, is widely recognized as a key contributor to liver cancer progression.

Article Synopsis
  • Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) results from impaired cochlear function and is influenced by genetics, noise exposure, medications, and aging.
  • The role of inflammation, oxidative stress, and processes like apoptosis in SNHL development is acknowledged, but the detailed mechanisms are still unclear.
  • Recent research highlights that endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERS) and the associated cellular responses are significant in the onset and progression of SNHL, potentially offering new avenues for treatment.

This manuscript reports a rare case of CUX1::NUTM1-positive B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) in a 25-year-old female patient who experienced early relapse and a poor clinical outcome. Given the rarity of NUTM1 fusion-positive B-ALL in adults, this case contributes to the growing evidence that such cases may present with a more aggressive clinical course compared to the pediatric population. Our findings suggest the need for a re-evaluation of therapeutic strategies in adult patients with this subtype of B-ALL.

Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to gene expression regulation by acting as cis-regulatory elements that attract transcription factors and epigenetic regulators. This research aims to explore the functional and clinical implications of transposable element-related molecular events in hepatocellular carcinoma, focusing on the mechanism through which liver-specific accessible TEs (liver-TEs) regulate adjacent gene expression. Our findings reveal that the expression of HNF4A is inversely regulated by proximate liver-TEs, which facilitates liver cancer cell proliferation.
