[Cell Death & Disease] The authors investigated the role of endothelial IRE1 signaling in traumatic brain injury using endothelial cell-specific IRE1 conditional knockout mice subjected to cortical ablation.
[Communications Biology] Investigators devised a multilayered experimental plan to decipher the biological mechanisms underlying TRIM47’s role in cerebral small vessel disease pathophysiology.
[International Journal of Molecular Medicine] Scientists evaluated the therapeutic potential of ebastine as a repurposing candidate to overcome trastuzumab resistance by targeting HER2 signaling and CSC‑associated phenotypes in HER2‑positive breast cancer cells.
[Stem Cell Research & Therapy] Investigators observed that oxysterol-binding protein-like 2 (OSBPL2) reduced cholesterol content by HPLC-MS. It inhibited the accumulation of lipid droplets in lung cancer.
[Scientific Reports] The authors investigated how SHH pathway inhibition affects both bulk glioblastoma (GBM) cells and CD133+ GBM cells, with particular emphasis on the influence of astrocyte co-culture, which more closely mimics the brain tumor microenvironment.
[Cancer Cell] Researchers discovered that the commensal fungus Candida albicans synergizes with Fusobacterium nucleatum to promote colorectal cancer pathogenesis and contributes to poor patient outcomes.
[Experimental & Molecular Medicine] Cannabidiol-a nonpsychotomimetic phytocannabinoid derived from the Cannabis sativa plant-was found to dramatically improve body weight loss of mice and stimulate Lgr5+ intestinal stem cells proliferation upon a lethal dose of irradiation.
