Targeting GGT1 via RGD-modified lipid nanoparticles suppresses breast cancer lung metastasis by disrupting exosome-mediated angiogenesis

Breast cancer lung metastasis remains a major cause of mortality, largely because effective treatment options are limited. In this study, we identify gamma-glutamyltransferase 1 (GGT1) as a factor associated with breast cancer lung metastatic progression. Analyses of clinical dat...

Fibroblast growth factor 21 is linked to ambient temperature-dependent regulation of pathological cardiac hypertrophy in UCP1 knockout mice

Adipocytes play an important role in the regulation of cardiovascular health and disease. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the endocrine role of brown adipose tissue (BAT) in pathological cardiac remodeling remain unclear. Herein, we show that uncoupling protein 1 (UC...

The relationship between biological rhythm disturbances and mixed features in major depressive episodes: a multicenter cross-sectional study

Major depressive episodes (MDEs) with mixed features are associated with greater clinical complexity and may represent an important indicator of bipolarity. Biological rhythm disturbances have been implicated in mood disorders, but their relationship with mixed features during MD...

PIGU expression is associated with poor prognosis and estimated immune cell infiltration in breast invasive carcinoma

Breast invasive carcinoma (BRCA) is a major cause of cancer-related mortality in women. PIGU , a subunit of the GPI-anchor biosynthesis complex, has been reported to be dysregulated in several cancers; however, its prognostic value and immune-related associations in BRCA remain u...

Real-world evidence of self-managed weight loss enhancing skeletal muscle rate in individuals with overweight/obesity via mHealth app

Weight loss is essential for obesity management but may be compromised by skeletal muscle loss. This study evaluated the increase in skeletal muscle rate (SMR) and fat loss among individuals with overweight/obesity who achieved weight loss through self-management using a mobile h...
