Progress in the genetics and epigenetics of pelvic floor disorder.

Pelvic floor disorder (PFD) is a common gynecological disorder, and with the ageing of the population, PFD has a serious impact on the physical and mental health of patients and their quality of life. The most prominent of these are pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence (UI), about which the etiology is still unclear, and it is urgent to explore their pathogenesis. Advances in genetics and epigenetics have provided new insights into the pathophysiology of PFD.

MIL-53(Al)-derived bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts for the selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at low temperature.

Selective hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene is a crucial industrial process for the removing of 1,3-butadiene, a byproduct of butene production. Developing catalysts with high catalytic performance for the hydrogenation of 1,3-butadiene at low temperatures has become a research hotspot. In this study, bimetallic Pd-Co catalysts supported on AlO derived from MIL-53(Al) at various calcination temperatures were synthesised via the co-impregnation method.

Carboxylated Zn-phthalocyanine attenuates brain Aβ in AD model mouse.

The deposition of aggregated amyloid β (Aβ) is considered as a key factor for Alzheimer's Disease (AD). Previously, we demonstrated that a carboxylated Zn-phthalocyanine (ZnPc) inhibits Aβ fibril formation, consequently protects neurons in culture. This study evaluated the effects of ZnPc on pathological changes in an AD mouse model (J20).

CYP24A1 affected macrophage polarization through degradation of vitamin D as a candidate biomarker for ovarian cancer prognosis.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is a fatal gynecological malignancy with a poor prognosis in which mitochondria-related genes are involved deeply. In this study, we aim to screen mitochondria-related genes that play a role in OC prognosis and investigate its effects. Through single-cell sequencing technology and bioinformatics analysis, including TCGA ovarian cancer data analysis, gene expression signature analysis (GES), immune infiltration analysis, Gene Ontology (GO) enrichment analysis, Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA), and Principal Component Analysis (PCA), our findings revealed that CYP24A1 regulated macrophage polarization through vitamin D (VD) degradation and served as a target gene for the second malignant subtype of OC through bioinformatics analyses.

Toll-mediated airway homeostasis is essential for fly survival upon injection of RasV12-GFP oncogenic cells.

Toll signaling is well known for its pivotal role in the host response against the invasion of external pathogens. Here, we investigate the potential involvement of Toll signaling in the intersection between the host and oncogenic cells. We show that loss of myeloid differentiation factor 88 (Myd88) leads to drastic fly death after the injection of RasV12-GFP oncogenic cells.
