Interleukin-12p40 Deficiency Attenuates Myocardial Ferroptosis in Doxorubicin-Induced Chronic Cardiomyopathy by Inhibiting Th17 Differentiation and Interleukin-17A Production

Academic Background Doxorubicin (Dox) is an anthracycline drug widely used in the treatment of tumors, but it exhibits dose-dependent cardiotoxicity, potentially leading to cardiomyopathy and heart failure. Despite its significant anticancer effects, the cardiotoxicity of Dox limits its clinical application. Currently, Dexrazoxane is the only FDA-a...

Smad1/5 is acetylated in the dorsal aortae of the mouse embryo driving early arterial gene expression

Academic Background During embryonic development, arteriovenous differentiation (AV differentiation) is a critical step in ensuring proper blood vessel formation and maturation. Defects in arterial or venous identity can lead to inappropriate fusion of vessels, resulting in so-called arteriovenous malformations (AVMs). Currently, the mechanism behi...

RNA Binding Protein with Multiple Splicing (RBPMS) Promotes Contractile Phenotype Splicing in Human Embryonic Stem Cell-Derived Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells

The Critical Role of RNA-Binding Protein RBPMS in Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells Academic Background Vascular Smooth Muscle Cells (VSMCs) are the primary structural components of large arteries. In healthy blood vessels, VSMCs exhibit a mature contractile phenotype, responsible for regulating vascular tone and blood flow. However, VSMCs possess pheno...

Significance in Scale Space for Hi-C Data Analysis

In the field of genomics, understanding the spatial organization of the genome is crucial for uncovering gene regulatory mechanisms. Hi-C technology, as a genome-wide chromosome conformation capture technique, can reveal the three-dimensional structure of the genome, particularly the key role of chromatin loops in gene regulation. However, existing...

Multi-Modal Interpretable Representation for Non-Coding RNA Classification and Class Annotation

Non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) play critical roles in cellular processes and disease development. Although genome sequencing projects have revealed a vast number of non-coding genes, the functional classification of ncRNAs remains a complex and challenging issue. The diversity, complexity, and functionality of ncRNAs make them important subjects in biome...
