Article Abstract
To investigate the critical role of the S gene in determining pathogenesis of TW-like avian infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), we generated two recombinant IBVs (rGD and rGD) by replacing either the S1 or S2 region of GD strain with the corresponding regions from an attenuated vaccine candidate aGD strain. The virulence and pathogenicity of these recombinant viruses was assessed both in vitro and in vivo. Our results indicated the mutations in the S2 region led to decreased virulence, as evidenced by reduced virus replication in embryonated chicken eggs and chicken embryonic kidney cells as well as observed clinical symptoms, gross lesions, microscopic lesions, tracheal ciliary activity, and viral distribution in SPF chickens challenged with recombinant IBVs. These findings highlight that the S2 subunit is a key determinant of TW-like IBV pathogenicity. Our study established a foundation for future investigations into the molecular mechanisms underlying IBV virulence.

Role of Splenocytes on T Cells and Its Cytokine Network in Rheumatoid Arthritis.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic autoimmune condition that impacts the immune system, especially through changes in the splenic immune cell system. This review provides an overview of the role of splenocytes in T cell signaling and their immune response in RA patients. The spleen acts as a critical site for the activation and differentiation of splenic immune cells like T cells, B cells, macrophages, dendritic cells, and NK cells.

The Hippo pathway and its transcription co-activator YAP play a critical role in the regulation of cell proliferation, apoptosis and the control of organ size. In the past several years, YAP has been found to be expressed in various human cancers, however, its expression in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma (NPC) remains unstudied. In this report, we found that YAP was overexpressed in human NPC tissues, and its expression was also significantly higher in five NPC cell lines when compared with the nasopharyngeal epithelial cell line NP69 (P < 0.

Aberrant activation of fibroblast growth factor receptors (FGFRs) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis across multiple cancer types, driving the development of various FGFR inhibitors. Despite clinical advances, therapeutic efficacy remains limited by the emergence of drug resistance, primarily mediated by gatekeeper mutations in FGFRs. To overcome this challenge, we designed and synthesized a novel series of 7-(1-methyl-1-indole-3-yl)-5-pyrrolo[2,3-]pyrazine derivatives as covalent pan-FGFR inhibitors targeting both wild-type and gatekeeper mutants.

Background: Breast cancer is a leading cause of cancer-related morbidity and mortality and imposes substantial financial strain on individuals and society. Minoritized groups, particularly Black/African American (AA) women, face a heightened risk of financial toxicity during treatment, even after accounting for socioeconomic differences.
Objective: The aim of this study was to explore and provide meaningful interpretations of the financial experiences of Black/AA breast cancer survivors (BCSs).
Critical role of niche S100A8 for acute myeloid leukemia progression and hematopoiesis regeneration.

The role of inflammation in the regulation of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and stressed hematopoiesis is significant, though the molecular mechanisms are not fully understood. Here, we found that mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) had dysregulated expression of the inflammatory cytokine S100A8 in AML. Upregulating S100A8 in MSCs increased the proliferation of AML cells in vitro.
