Loss of Polarity Protein Par3 in the Intestinal Epithelium Promotes Colitis-Associated Colorectal Cancer Progression by Damaging Tight Junction Assembly
To understand how partitioning defective 3 (Par3) is related to colorectal cancer (CRC), researchers investigated the role of Par3 in the development of CRC using an in vivo genetic approach.
[Cell Metabolism] Using exercise and sarcopenia models, mice lacking IL6Rα on T cells demonstrated deficits in regulatory T cells, their functional maturation, and a more pronounced decline in muscle mass.
[Communications Biology] Based on the up-regulation of catabolism and down-regulation of anabolism, researchers showed genetic mutation-mediated metabolic reprogramming in the progression of cancer cachexia by screening for metabolites and investigating their direct effect on muscle atrophy.
[Acta Pharmacologica Sinica] Researchers investigated the effect of myeloid-derived growth factor to postinjury neointimal formation and the underlying mechanisms. Rat carotid arteries balloon-injured model was established.
