Article Abstract

Esophageal cancer (EC), an aggressive and poorly understood disease, is one of the top causes of cancer-related fatalities. GLOBOCAN 2020 reports that there are 544,076 deaths and 604,100 new cases expected worldwide. Even though there are various advancements in treatment procedures, this cancer has been reported as one of the most difficult cancers to cure, and to increase patient survival; treatment targets still need to be established. Nuclear receptors (NRs) are a type of transcription factor, which has a key role in several biological processes such as reproduction, development, cellular differentiation, stress response, immunity, metabolism, lipids, and drugs, and are essential regulators of several diseases, including cancer. Numerous studies have demonstrated the importance of NRs in tumor immunology and proved the well-known roles of multiple NRs in modulating proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. There are surplus of studies conducted on NRs and their implications in EC, but only a few studies have demonstrated the diagnostic and prognostic potential of NRs. Therefore, there is still a paucity of the role of NRs and different ways to target them in EC cells to stop them from spreading malignancy. This review emphasizes the significance of NRs in EC by discussing their diverse agonists as well as antagonists and their response to tumor progression. Additionally, we emphasize NRs' potential to serve as a novel therapeutic target and their capacity to treat and prevent EC.

Objective: To explore B cell infiltration-related genes in endometriosis (EM) and investigate their potential as diagnostic biomarkers.

Methods: Gene expression data from the GSE51981 dataset, containing 77 endometriosis and 34 control samples, were analyzed to detect differentially expressed genes (DEGs). The xCell algorithm was applied to estimate the infiltration levels of 64 immune and stromal cell types, focusing on B cells and naive B cells.

Adrenal lipoma formation via PI(3,4,5)P/AKT-dependent transdifferentiation of adrenocortical cells into adipocytes.

Adrenal lipomas are benign tumors containing ectopic adipose tissue in the adrenal gland, an organ that normally lacks both adipocytes and their progenitors. The origin of this ectopic fat remains enigmatic, and the absence of a genetic animal model has hindered its investigation. Phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P], a key signaling lipid that regulates cellular growth and differentiation, is tightly regulated by the lipid phosphatases PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog) and SHIP2 (SH2-containing inositol phosphatase 2).

Chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies have demonstrated clinical efficacy in treating haematological malignancies, resulting in multiple regulatory approvals. However, there is a need for robust manufacturing platforms and the use of GMP-aligned reagents to meet the clinical and commercial demands. This study investigates the impact of serum/xeno-free medium (SXFM) and cytokine supplementation on CAR-T cell production in static and agitated culture systems, using 24-well plate G-Rex vessels and 500 mL stirred tank bioreactors (STRs), respectively.

Background: Although some studies have indicated that CDK4/6 inhibitors are beneficial for the progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS) in breast cancer, evidence regarding the assessment of clinical response remains insufficient. Therefore, this study aims not only to evaluate the efficacy and safety of CDK4/6 inhibitors combined with endocrine therapy in HR(+)/HER2(-) metastatic breast cancer, but also to analyze the objective response rate (ORR) and clinical benefit rate (CBR), providing comprehensive clinical outcome insights.

Materials And Methods: A literature search was performed in PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and ClinicalTrials.

Breast cancer is a major health threat to women, with limited effective indicators for early screening and prognosis. The role of sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1PR1) in breast cancer remains controversial. This study aims to explore the potential causal relationship between S1PR1 and breast cancer risk, considering estrogen receptor (ER) status.
