Article Abstract

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common women cancer and cause of cancer death. Despite decades of scientific progress in BC treatments, the clinical benefit of new drugs is modest in several cases. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway mutations are frequent in BC (20-40%) and are significant causes of aggressive tumor behavior, as well as treatment resistance. Improving knowledge of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway is an urgent need. This review aims to highlight the central role of PI3K-mTORC1/C2 mutations in the different BC subtypes, in terms of clinical outcomes and treatment efficacy. The broad base of knowledge in tumor biology is a key point for personalized BC therapy in the precision medicine era.

Circular RNA (circRNA) has been confirmed to be a regulator for septic acute kidney injury (AKI). It is reported that circ_0049271 has abnormal expression in AKI patients, but its role and mechanism in septic AKI remain unclear. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HK-2 cells were served as the cellular model of sepsis-associated AKI (SAKI).

Chronic stress-induced cardiac hypertrophy remains a critical precursor to heart failure, with current therapies limited by incomplete mechanistic targeting. Cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs), pivotal regulators of cell cycle and stress signaling, are emerging therapeutic targets in cardiovascular pathologies. Using bioinformatics analysis of human hypertrophic cardiomyopathy datasets (GSE5500, GSE136308) and a murine transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model, we investigated the therapeutic effects of the CDK inhibitor R547 (10 mg/kg, intraperitoneal every 3 days) on pressure overload-induced cardiac remodeling.

Resveratrol is a natural polyphenol known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, but its role in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) remains unclear. Our study integrated network pharmacology, molecular docking, and bioinformatics to investigate the molecular mechanisms by which resveratrol suppresses LUAD through the identification of key targets and pathways. We identified 100 resveratrol-related targets and 50,000 LUAD-related genes from databases, finding 98 overlapping targets.

Cultured meat represents an innovative alternative to conventional livestock-derived meat, yet faces challenges in establishing efficient, safe, and sustainable culture systems. Although traditional supplements such as fetal bovine serum and bovine eye fluid provide essential growth factors for cell proliferation, their high cost, ethical concerns, and biosafety risks significantly hinder large-scale industrialization. In recent years, protein hydrolysates have emerged as promising components in serum-free media.

The onset of puberty is increasingly observed at earlier ages in children, especially in girls with obesity, a trend that predisposes them to long-term metabolic and reproductive disorders in adulthood. Bile acids have emerged as pivotal signaling molecules in both metabolic and reproductive disorders, but remain unexplored in the early onset of puberty in children. Herein, we find elevated levels of muricholic acid (MCA) species in the serum of girls with central precocious puberty, which strongly correlate with indices of hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activation and can reach peak levels during puberty among healthy children.
