We observed that KCTD10 expression is significantly downregulated in colorectal cancer tissues compared to normal tissues, and patients with higher KCTD10 expression exhibited prolonged survival.

Study on an Injectable Chitosan-Lignin/Poloxamer Hydrogel Loaded with Platelet-Rich Plasma for Intrauterine Adhesion Treatment.

However, gliomas are characteristic of the low immune response and high-resistance therapy, it is necessary to understand molecular regulatory mechanisms in glioblastoma, especially the limited regulation of PD-L1 expression. Herein, we show that low expression of AP-2α is correlated with high expression of PD-L1 in high-grade glioma tissues.

Investigation on the structure-function relationship of cationic liposomes will guide the design of novel cationic liposomes with high transfection efficiency and biosafety. In this paper, two novel series of lipids based on the backbone of pentaerythritol and trimethylolpropane were discovered, and their gene transfection efficiencies were assayed in vitro.

Polydatin protects neuronal cells from hydrogen peroxide damage by activating CREB/Ngb signaling.

Oxidative stress‑induced neuronal cell death contributes significantly to the physiological processes of a number of neurological disorders. Polydatin (PD) has been reported to protect against Alzheimer's disease (AD), ischemic stroke and traumatic brain injury. However, the underlying neuroprotective mechanisms remain to be elucidated.

ADNP prompts the cisplatin-resistance of bladder cancer via TGF-β-mediated epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) pathway.

Activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP) is vital for embryonic development and brain formation. Besides, the upregulated expression of ADNP enhances tumorigenesis in some human tumors like bladder cancer (BC). However, the potential roles of ADNP in drug resistance and the related mechanisms in BC is unknown.

DDX21 interacts with nuclear AGO2 and regulates the alternative splicing of SMN2.

AGO2 is the only member of mammalian Ago protein family that possesses the catalytic activity and plays a central role in gene silencing. Recently researches reported that multiple gene silencing factors, including AGO2, function in the nuclei. The molecular mechanisms of the gene silencing factors functioning in nuclei are conducive to comprehend the roles of gene silencing in pretranslational regulation of gene expression.

Heterotopic Cesarean Scar Pregnancy: An Analysis of 20 Cases Following in vitro Fertilization-Embryo Transfer.

We report a series of 20 cases of heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy in this study. The results show that transvaginal sonography offers highly accurate diagnoses of heterotopic cesarean scar pregnancy during the first trimester. Careful exclusion of cesarean scar pregnancy is of great clinical importance for patients with a history of cesarean section after in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer, even when an intrauterine pregnancy has been detected.

TNFAIP1 Is Upregulated in APP/PS1 Mice and Promotes Apoptosis in SH-SY5Y Cells by Binding to RhoB.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) poses a significant threat to human life and health. The intraneuronal accumulation of β-amyloid (Aβ) plaques in the brains of AD patients results in neuronal cell death, which is a key factor that triggers multiple changes in the pathogenesis of AD. The inhibition of Aβ-induced neuronal cell death may potentially help in the intervention and treatment of AD.
