Chemerin Regulates Normal Angiogenesis and Hypoxia-Driven Neovascularization

Chemerin did not affect vascular sprouting during the post-natal development of the network, but rather promoted endothelial cell apoptosis and vessel pruning.

Posttranslational Modifications by ADAM10 Shape Myeloid Antigen-Presenting Cell Homeostasis in the Splenic Marginal Zone

Scientists identified the cell-surface–expressed A-disintegrin-and-metalloproteinase 10 as an essential regulator of conventional dendritic cell (cDC)1 and cDC2 homeostasis in the splenic marginal zone.

Cell Polarity and Cell Adhesion Associated Gene Expression Differences between Invasive Micropapillary and No Special Type Breast Carcinomas and Their Prognostic Significance

Researchers analyzed mRNA expression profiles and the prognostic value of 43 genes involved in cell polarity, cell-adhesion and epithelial–mesenchymal transition in invasive micropapillary carcinoma of the breast tumors and compared them to invasive breast carcinomas of no special type.

Asiatic Acid Alleviates Ischemic Myocardial Injury in Mice by Modulating Mitophagy- and Glycophagy-Based Energy Metabolism

Scientists investigated whether asiatic acid exerted cardioprotective effects against myocardial infarction by activating glycophagy and mitophagy to improve the energy balance. In vitro cardioprotective effects were examined in neonatal mouse cardiomyocytes subjected to oxygen-glucose deprivation for 12 hours.

EMP3 Negatively Modulates Breast Cancer Cell DNA Replication, DNA Damage Repair, and Stem-Like Properties

In silico analysis showed that epithelial membrane protein 3 (EMP3) was associated with favorable survival, and negatively regulated cell cycle S-phase. Loss and gain of function studies demonstrated that EMP3 inhibited breast cancer cell S-phage entry, DNA replication, DNA damage repair, and stem-like properties.

RecQ-Like Helicase 4 (RECQL4) Exacerbates Resistance to Oxaliplatin in Colon Adenocarcinoma via Activation of the PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway

Researchers found RECQL4 was upregulated in colon adenocarcinoma (COAD), especially in Oxaliplatin-resistant COAD tissues and cells.

Tumor-Initiating Stem Cell Shapes Its Microenvironment into an Immunosuppressive Barrier and Pro-Tumorigenic Niche

Using DNA-label retaining, single-cell RNA sequencing, and other approaches, researchers investigated intestinal adenoma in response to chemoradiotherapy, thus identifying therapy-resistant tumor-initiating stem cells.

Potential Role of Epicardial Adipose Tissue in Coronary Artery Endothelial Cell Dysfunction in Type 2 Diabetes

To simulate type 2 diabetes-associated metabolic and inflammatory status in an ex vivo tissue culture model, human epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) samples were treated with a cocktail composed of high glucose, high palmitate, and lipopolysaccharide and were compared with control EAT.
