Photo‐Generated 1 O 2 Triggers In Situ RNA Crosslinking for High‐Contrast Tumor MRI and Effective Tumor Suppression

ABSTRACT High‐contrast imaging and effective treatment of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remain challenging, largely due to the limited tumor selectivity of existing contrast agents and the absence of stable and broadly conserved therapeutic targets. Herein, we report a photoacti...

Association between the Chinese version of the Mediterranean-DASH intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay diet and BADL/IADL disability among older adults in China: a nationwide survey

Disability is a major challenge affecting older adults’ quality of life. Although the Mediterranean-DASH Intervention for Neurodegenerative Delay (MIND) diet has been shown to protect against functional disability in Western populations, its applicability across different cultura...

Dual Regulation of ACSL3 by TRIM33-Mediated Ubiquitination and NBR1-Dependent Autophagy: A Therapeutic Target for Cerebral Ischemia-Reperfusion Injury

Background: Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI) is a key contributor to stroke-related neurological damage, but the functional interplay between autophagy and ferroptosis—two critical pathological processes—remains poorly understood. Methods: Using oxygen-glucose deprivat...

Age-related prognostic disparities in cutaneous melanoma: A population-based study and validated interactive web-based nomogram for individualized prognostic stratification

Background Cutaneous melanoma (CM) in older adults (≥65 years) has distinct clinicopathological features and poorer survival than in younger adults. We evaluated age-related cancer-specific survival (CSS), prognostic associations, and an interactive web-based nomogram. Methods We...

VEGFR signalling and hemoptysis: mechanisms, critical appraisal of the evidence, and the double-edged role of VEGFR-2 inhibition — a narrative review

Abstract Hemoptysis is a potentially life-threatening manifestation of pulmonary disease, including lung cancer, bronchiectasis and pulmonary tuberculosis. Critically, in approximately 90% of cases the bleeding arises from the high-pressure bronchial (systemic) arterial circulati...

Targeting a CDH1–TK1–dependent DNA Synthesis Pathway Overcomes Chemoresistance in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

ABSTRACT Relapsed and refractory acute myeloid leukemia (AML) remains difficult to treat, in part because leukemic cells adapt to nucleoside analogue‐induced replication stress. Here, we identify thymidine kinase 1 (TK1) as a functional contributor to chemotherapy resistance in A...

RPPH1 drives ovarian cancer cells proliferation via CDK9-c-Myc axis

Dysregulation of the proto-oncogene c-Myc is a critical driver of ovarian cancer progression, yet the mechanisms governing its expression remain incompletely characterized. A systematic bioinformatic analysis was used to screen long non-coding RNA involved in the regulation of c-...

Engineered desialylated platelet membrane camouflaged liposomes for the regulation of kupffer cells and hepatic stellate cells in treatment of liver fibrosis

The intercellular crosstalk and reciprocal activation between Kupffer cells (KCs) and hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) are critical drivers of liver fibrosis progression. Nonetheless, the co-regulation of KCs and HSCs is hindered by their distinct anatomical locations and the pathol...

Synchronous ReactiveOxygen Species Scavenging andImmunomodulation for Autoimmune Uveitis Therapy by a MannosylatedBiomimetic Nanocloak

Abstract Autoimmune uveitis is a recurrent, vision-threatening inflammatory disease that demands precise and ongoing treatment. However, current therapies have limitations in ocular targeting, in controlling reactive oxygen species (ROS), and in regulating key inflammatory pathwa...

Pregnancy loss and prevalent cardiometabolic multimorbidity: a two-stage individual participant data analysis of CHARLS, ELSA, and HRS

Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death worldwide, and cardiometabolic multimorbidity (CMM) is associated with substantially higher mortality and reduced life expectancy. Pregnancy loss is common and has been linked to later cardiovascular risk, but multinationa...

Benchmark evaluation of OpenAI-o1 vs DeepSeek-R1 for junior anesthesiologists in Chinese hospitals: hazards of fast large language models use in high-stakes specialties

Abstract Purpose Junior physicians may experience critical competency gaps during the transition to unsupervised practice, particularly in high-risk specialties such as anesthesiology, where errors can compromise patient safety. Although large language models (LLMs) are being rap...

Mechanisms of ferroptosis in Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid-induced hepatic injury and the protective role of Nrf2 activation

Cystic echinococcosis (CE) is a globally distributed parasitic zoonosis caused by infection with Echinococcus granulosus. This study investigated the ferroptosis mechanism in hepatocyte injury induced by Echinococcus granulosus cyst fluid (EgCF) and its relationship with the nucl...

Neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio is associated with in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection: a multicenter retrospective cohort study

Early risk stratification remains challenging in patients with acute aortic dissection (AAD). This study aims to evaluate the prognostic value of neutrophil percentage-to-albumin ratio (NPAR) for in-hospital mortality in patients with acute aortic dissection. We performed a multi...

Integrative analysis of network pharmacology and machine learning suggests potential anti-colorectal cancer mechanisms of Taohong-Siwu decoction

Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains one of the most prevalent malignancies worldwide, characterized by high morbidity and poor prognosis. Although traditional Chinese herbal formulas have shown promising therapeutic potential, their multi-target mechanisms in CRC are still poorly und...

A single-nucleus transcriptomic characterization of EGFR G719X/S768I double-mutant lung adenocarcinoma identifies an immunosuppressive niche defined by COL4A3-CD44 interaction

EGFR double mutations (G719X/S768I) represent a clinically recalcitrant subtype of lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) characterized by diminished tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI) sensitivity. However, the specific tumor microenvironment (TME) features and intercelluar crosstalk driving th...

Sex-specific effects of methylprednisolone on outcomes after endovascular treatment for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion: A secondary analysis of the MARVEL trial

Background Sex-based differences in treatment response to neuroprotective strategies during endovascular treatment (EVT) for acute ischemic stroke remain poorly understood. Objectives This study aimed to evaluate sex-specific effects of methylprednisolone on outcomes after EVT fo...
