Association between PCSK9 and post-stroke cognitive impairment: a retrospective cohort study and predictive models establishment based on machine learning

Proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) has gained increasing attention due to its involvement in lipid metabolism and neuroinflammation regulation. High PCSK9 levels are linked to an elevated risk of cerebrovascular events and small vessel diseases. However, system...

Reproducibility and validity of dietary polyphenols derived from 24-hour dietary recalls in the Anhui Lifestyle Validation Study

Abstract While 24-hour dietary recalls (24HDRs) are increasingly used to assess polyphenol-disease associations, their performance for measuring total dietary polyphenols and their subclasses remains unknown. In the Anhui Lifestyle Validation Study, 432 community-dwelling adults...

Sodium Butyrate Attenuates Renal Fibrosis by Regulating Glycolysis and Histone H4K12 Lactylation in Diabetic Kidney Disease

ABSTRACT Background The role of histone lactylation in diabetes associated renal fibrosis remains poorly defined. In this study, we investigated the contribution of histone H4 lysine 12 lactylation (H4K12la) to abnormal glycolysis and renal fibrogenesis in diabetic kidney disease...

Spatially defined IGF1R-STMN1 axis delineates a metastatic cell state in osteosarcoma

Abstract Metastatic osteosarcoma (OS) remains the leading cause of disease-related mortality, yet effective therapies are still lacking. Here, we integrated single-cell RNA sequencing, spatial transcriptomics, and functional assays to investigate signaling dependencies in OS meta...

Neoantigen nanovaccines for cancer immunotherapy: design strategies, translational bottlenecks, and clinical prospects

Neoantigen vaccines have become an important direction in cancer immunotherapy because mutation-derived tumor antigens can induce highly specific T-cell responses while minimizing immune tolerance associated with tumor-associated antigens. However, their therapeutic performance r...
