Lung squamous cell carcinoma (LUSC) is a common type of non-small-cell lung cancer with high mortality, lacks effective diagnostic indicators and therapeutic targets. This study aims to reveal that low expression of Alpha-Sarcoglycan (SGCA) promotes LUSC progression and to provide a biomarker for its diagnosis, prognosis evaluation, and targeted therapy. TCGA data and 70 clinical LUSC patients were analyzed. In vitro, H520 and H1703 cells with overexpressed SGCA were transfected with pc-SGCA plasmids, and their proliferation, apoptosis, and invasion were examined. In vivo, a subcutaneous tumorigenic mouse model was constructed. SGCA was significant in diagnosing LUSC and negatively correlated with T stage. Low SGCA expression enhanced proliferation, invasion, and migration, and inhibited apoptosis. Overexpression of SGCA inhibited tumor growth in mice. Low expression of SGCA is closely associated with LUSC progression, making it a potential prognostic factor and therapeutic target for LUSC.

Background And Objective: Sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2) antibody-drug conjugate, has been approved by both the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency for patients with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer who have received two or more prior systemic therapies, including at least one of them for advanced disease. Although TROP2 evaluation is not required for patient selection, survival data from the ASCENT trial show improved response rates in patients with high TROP2 expression by immunohistochemistry. However, there is no standardized testing assay for these patients.

Background: Enteric glial cells (EGCs) have been implicated in colorectal cancer (CRC) progression. This study aimed to develop and validate a prognostic model integrating EGC- and CRC-associated gene expression to predict patient survival, recurrence, metastasis, and therapy response.
Methods: Bulk and single-cell RNA sequencing data were analyzed, and a machine learning-based model was constructed using the RSF random forest algorithm.

Visual motion perception declines during natural aging in most animals including humans. Edible berries of blackcurrant (BC) and its extracted anthocyanins (BCAs) have beneficial effects on human eyes. However, the effect of BCAs on the perception of moving objects and other dynamic visual patterns remains unknown.

Mycoplasma gallisepticum (MG) is one of the main pathogens causing chronic respiratory diseases in chickens, which seriously affects the sustainable and healthy development of the poultry industry and leading to heavy economic losses. Therefore, we developed a safe, efficient, convenient, and low-cost MG oral vaccine. The vaccine is based on a recombinant yeast surface display system to compensate for the shortcomings of existing vaccines.

Murine double minute 2 (MDM2, also known as human double minute 2 or HDM2) is a negative regulator of the tumor suppressor protein p53 and is overexpressed in many cancers. Over the past two decades, substantial progress has been made in developing inhibitors of the MDM2-p53 interaction, thereby allowing the p53 protein to exert antitumor effects through cell apoptosis and cycle arrest. While there are currently no FDA-approved MDM2 inhibitors available, several small molecule MDM2 inhibitors and a stapled peptide inhibitor of the MDM2-p53 interaction are in clinical development.
