TRIM21-Mediated Ubiquitination and Phosphorylation of ERK1/2 Promotes Cell Proliferation and Drug Resistance in Pituitary Adenomas

Academic Background Pituitary adenomas (PAs) are common intracranial tumors with complex pathogenesis, often accompanied by abnormal hormone secretion. Although various treatments, such as dopamine agonists (DAs), are currently available, some patients exhibit drug resistance, leading to suboptimal therapeutic outcomes. Therefore, identifying new t...

Thiazoplanomicin, a New Thiazolyl Peptide Antibiotic from the Leaf-Litter Actinomycete Actinoplanes sp. MM794L-181F6

Discovery and Research of the New Antibiotic Thiazoplanomicin Academic Background In recent years, the issue of antibiotic resistance has become increasingly severe, particularly with Neisseria gonorrhoeae (gonococcus), a common sexually transmitted pathogen. Gonococcus can rapidly develop drug resistance, rendering traditional antibiotics such as ...

Dynamic Methylation and Expression of Alternative Promoters for Oestrogen Receptor Alpha in Cell Line Models of Fulvestrant Resistance

Dynamic Changes in Estrogen Receptor Alpha (ERα) Promoter Methylation and Drug Resistance in Breast Cancer Cells Background Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, with approximately 75% of breast cancer patients expressing estrogen receptor alpha (ERα, gene symbol ESR1). ERα is not only an important prognostic marker...

Revumenib Revises the Treatment Landscape for KMT2A-R Leukemia

Revumenib Alters the Treatment Landscape for KMT2A-Rearranged Leukemia Academic Background Leukemia is a malignant disease caused by abnormalities in the hematopoietic system, with KMT2A-rearranged (KMT2A-r) leukemia being a common subtype, particularly in pediatric and adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Rearrangements of the KMT2A gene (lysine me...
