Deciphering the Topological Landscape of Glioma: A Framework Based on Network Theory

Deciphering the Topological Landscape of Glioma: A Study Based on a Network Theory Framework Glioma stem cells (GSCs) are recognized as key factors in glioma recurrence and treatment resistance, making them an important focus for new therapeutic approaches. However, the limited understanding of the role of GSCs in the hierarchy of glioma has sparke...

Molecular Mechanism of Prolactin-Releasing Peptide Recognition and Signaling via its G Protein-Coupled Receptor

Molecular Mechanism of Prolactin-Releasing Peptide Recognition and Signaling via its G Protein-Coupled Receptor

Analysis of the Molecular Recognition and Signal Transduction Mechanism of PRRP and PRRPR Research Background Neuropeptides, as the most abundant signaling molecules in the nervous system, have over 100 identified types and play critical roles in processes like metabolism, pain sensation, and reproduction. Among them, RF-amide neuropeptides are cha...

Postsynaptic lncrna Sera/PKM2 Pathway Orchestrates the Transition from Social Competition to Rank by Remodeling the Neural Ensemble in mPFC

Research Background and Problem Statement In social animals, competition among individuals and the establishment of hierarchical status are crucial for resource allocation, group stability, and energy conservation. However, while it is known that the medial prefrontal cortex (mPFC) plays an essential role in regulating social competition behaviors ...

Study of a Novel NUMB Loss-of-Function Mutation Leading to Hyperuricemia and Gout

NUMB Gene Variant: A Novel Mechanism in Gout Development Background Gout is one of the most common forms of inflammatory arthritis worldwide, primarily triggered by the persistent elevation of serum uric acid levels, known as hyperuricemia. Hyperuricemia leads to the deposition of urate crystals, resulting in inflammation of joints and other tissue...

Targeting a Chemo-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuit Reveals Therapeutic Vulnerabilities in Pancreatic Cancer

Targeting Chemotherapy-Induced Adaptive Signaling Circuitry for Therapeutic Potential in Pancreatic Cancer Background Introduction Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is an aggressive and lethal cancer, with a five-year survival rate that remains extremely low. Over 80% of patients are diagnosed at an advanced, unresectable stage, where existin...
