Article Abstract
This paper includes a conceptual framework for cell cycle modeling into which the experimenter can map observed data and evaluate mechanisms of cell cycle control. The basic model exhibits qualitative stability, meaning that regardless of magnitudes of system parameters its instances are guaranteed to be stable in the sense that all feasible trajectories converge to a certain trajectory. Qualitative stability can also be described by the signs of real parts of eigenvalues of the system matrix. On the biological side, the resulting model can be tuned to approximate experimental data pertaining to human fibroblast cell lines treated with ionizing radiation, with or without disabled DNA damage checkpoints. Together these properties validate a fundamental, first order systems view of cell dynamics. Classification Codes: 15A68.

While agriculture is essential for food security, the intensive use of pesticides in modern farming practices raises concerns on their impact, in particular from a One Health perspective. In 2024, Brazil approved 663 new pesticides, a 19% increase in comparison with 2023. The occupational exposure of rural workers is known to be associated with a range of health outcomes, including cancer.

The E2F family of transcription factors are key regulators of the cell cycle in all metazoans. While they are primarily known for their role in cell cycle progression, E2Fs also play broader roles in cellular physiology, including the maintenance of exocrine tissue homeostasis. However, the underlying mechanisms that render exocrine cells particularly sensitive to E2F deregulation remain poorly understood.

Through applying the hybridization technique, new coumarin derivatives (2-17) were prepared with substitution at coumarin C-3 utilizing various heterocyclic derivatives, aiming to afford multi-target carbonic anhydrases (CAs) IX/XII and topoisomerase II (Topo II) inhibitors with potent antiproliferative activity. Eight different cell lines were used to evaluate the growth inhibition percentages (GI%) of cancer cells determined by coumarin analogues 1-17. Analogues 16 and 17 had the most substantial cytotoxic effects, achieving mean GI% of 86.

Background: Cancer promotes muscle wasting through an imbalance in the tightly regulated protein synthesis and degradation processes. An array of intracellular signalling pathways, including mTORC1 and AMPK, regulate protein synthesis, and these pathways are responsive to the muscle's microenvironment and systemic stimuli. Although feeding and fasting are established systemic regulators of muscle mTORC1 and protein synthesis, the cancer environment's impact on these responses during cachexia development is poorly understood.

Itaconate is an immunomodulatory metabolite that alters mitochondrial metabolism and immune cell function. This organic acid is endogenously synthesized by tricarboxylic acid (TCA) metabolism downstream of TLR signalling. Itaconate-based treatment strategies are under investigation to mitigate numerous inflammatory conditions.
