Risk of Viral Infection in Patients Using Either Angiotensin-converting Enzyme Inhibitors or Angiotensin Receptor Blockers: A Nationwide Population-based Propensity Score Matching Study
Background: We hypothesized that renin-angiotensin system (RAS) blockers have systemic protective effects beyond the respiratory tract and could reduce the risk of viral infections.

Somatic mutational landscapes of adherens junctions and their functional consequences in cutaneous melanoma development
Cell-cell interaction in skin homeostasis is tightly controlled by adherens junctions (AJs). Alterations in such regulation lead to melanoma development. However, mutations in AJs and their functional consequences are still largely unknown.

Targeting positive feedback between BASP1 and EGFR as a therapeutic strategy for lung cancer progression
Rationale: Brain metastasis in patients with lung cancer is life-threatening. However, the molecular mechanism for this catastrophic disease remains elusive, and few druggable targets are available. Therefore, this study aimed to identify and characterize

HSB-1/HSF-1 pathway modulates histone H4 in mitochondria to control mtDNA transcription and longevity
Heat shock factor-1 (HSF-1) is a master regulator of stress responses across taxa. Overexpression of HSF-1 or genetic ablation of its conserved negative regulator, heat shock factor binding protein 1 (HSB-1), results in robust life-span extension in Caeno

CRISPR-engineered human brown-like adipocytes prevent diet-induced obesity and ameliorate metabolic syndrome in mice
Brown and brown-like beige/brite adipocytes dissipate energy and have been proposed as therapeutic targets to combat metabolic disorders. However, the therapeutic effects of cell-based therapy in humans remain unclear. Here, we created human brown-like (H

New Approaches on Cancer Immunotherapy
Metastasis, which occurs when cancer cells disseminate from the primary tumor site to other parts of the body, is the primary cause of mortality in patients, and the recurrence of multiple metastatic tumors is an obstacle to eliminating cancer.

PD-L1-mediated gasdermin C expression switches apoptosis to pyroptosis in cancer cells and facilitates tumour necrosis
Although pyroptosis is critical for macrophages against pathogen infection, its role and mechanism in cancer cells remains unclear.

Fluorometric determination of amifostine and alkaline phosphatase on amphiprotic molecularly imprinted silica crosslinked with binary functional silanes and carbon dots
A silica-based molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) formed by functional silanes (basic 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) and acidic 2-(4-chlorosulfonylphenyl)ethyltrimethoxysilane (CSPTMS)) was crosslinked with carbon dots (CDs) to develop a fluorescen

Wilforine resensitizes multidrug resistant cancer cells via competitive inhibition of P-glycoprotein
Background and purpose: Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains the main obstacle in cancer treatment and over-expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is one of the most common causes of chemoresistance. The development of novel P-gp inhibitors from natural produc

Digital Receptor Occupancy Assay in Quantifying On- and Off-Target Binding Affinities of Therapeutic Antibodies
While monoclonal antibodies are the fastest-growing class of therapeutic agents, we lack a method that can directly quantify the on- and off-target binding affinities of newly developed therapeutic antibodies in crude cell lysates.

Exposure to fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and pediatric rheumatic diseases
Few studies have assessed the association between fine particulate matter (PM2.5) exposure during pregnancy and infancy and pediatric rheumatic diseases (PRDs). The goal of this study was to investigate the association of PM2.5 with PRDs, and to explore s

The gluconeogenic enzyme PCK1 phosphorylates INSIG1/2 for lipogenesis
Phosphorylation of INSIG1 and INSIG2 by PCK1 leads to a reduction in the binding of sterols, the activation of SREBP1 and SREBP2 and the downstream transcription of lipogenesis-associated genes that promote tumour growth.
