Several different signaling pathways that regulate cell proliferation and differentiation are initiated by binding of ligands to cell-surface and membrane-bound enzyme-linked receptors, such as receptor tyrosine kinases and serine-threonine kinases. They prompt phosphorylation of tyrosine and serine-threonine residues and initiate downstream signaling pathways and priming of intracellular molecules that convey the signal in the cytoplasm and nucleus, with transcriptional activation of specific genes enriching cell growth and survival-related cascades. These cell processes are rhythmically driven by molecular clockworks endowed in every cell type and when deregulated play a crucial role in cancer onset and progression. Growth factors and their matching receptor-dependent signaling are frequently overexpressed and/or dysregulated in many cancer types. In this review we focus on the interplay between biological clocks and Growth Factor Receptor-dependent signaling in the context of carcinogenesis.

Carotenoids are one of the common food ingredients with potential anti-inflammatory effects. Screening of carotenoids for their anti-inflammatory effects has predominantly been conducted using macrophages, whereas comparative analyses of their effects on excessive activation of microglia remain limited. This study aimed to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effects of eight different carotenoids in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated microglia, focusing on nitric oxide (NO) production suppression and underlying molecular mechanisms.

Activation of CD40, a pivotal component of immune oncology, could facilitate the infiltration of immune cells into the tumor microenvironment. In this investigation, we characterized SHR-2005, a second-generation CD40 agonistic mAb, as a potential candidate for cancer immune therapy. Our results showed that SHR-2005 possessed high affinity in binding to both human and rhesus CD40 and could effectively compete with CD40L for CD40 binding.

Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is characterized by persistent threat-related memories for which there are limited effective treatment options. The N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor-dependent extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) pathway in the lateral amygdala (LA) is necessary for synaptic plasticity, threat memory consolidation and reconsolidation. Disruption of these memories during the reconsolidation window has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy for PTSD, however, no current therapies using this strategy are available.

Beyond their classical roles in hemostasis and coagulation, accumulating evidence highlights platelets as multifaceted regulators within the nervous system. Research has revealed that platelet-derived factors promote blood-brain barrier (BBB) maturation and angiogenesis via neurochemical pathways. At the same time, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) facilitates neural regeneration by mitigating the neurotoxicity of amyloid-beta (Aβ) and activating the PI3k/Akt signaling pathway.

Sleep paralysis (SP), an REM parasomnia, can be characterized as one of the symptoms of narcolepsy. The SP phenomenon involves regaining meta-consciousness by the dreamer during REM, when the physiological atonia of skeletal muscles is accompanied by visual and auditory hallucinations that are perceived as vivid and distressing nightmares. Sensory impressions include personification of an unknown presence, strong chest pressure sensation, and intense fear resulting from subjective interaction with the unfolding nightmare.
