Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neurons regulate the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal (HPG) axis and are required for puberty onset and reproductive competence. However, the transcriptional regulators governing GnRH neuron specification and migration remain poorly…
Maternal Intake of Vitamins A, C, D, and E During Pregnancy and Risk of Type 1 Diabetes in the Child: The Norwegian Mother, Father, and Child Cohort Study
CONCLUSIONS: This prospective cohort study does not support the hypothesis that higher maternal intake of vitamins A, C, D, and E during pregnancy would decrease risk of type 1 diabetes…
Persistence of memory: lifespan dynamics of the human antiviral antibody reactome
The human antiviral antibody reactome provides a cumulative molecular record of immune exposures. Using high-resolution VirScan profiling, we compared epitope-level antibody responses across early childhood and adulthood. Infants are born…
A biocompatible copper based therapeutic nanoplatform for CD44 specific tumor targeted therapy and potent immune reprogramming
Despite advances in oncology, the dual challenge of achieving precise tumor-targeted therapy while simultaneously activating antitumor immunity remains a major clinical barrier. In this study, we engineered a biocompatible copper-based…
Tumor Invasive Border Index (TIBI) in colorectal cancer: linking infiltrative morphology to molecular insights
Tumor border configuration influences colorectal cancer (CRC) prognosis, yet its molecular determinants remain unclear and existing assessment criteria have faced challenges with reproducibility. We introduce the Tumor Invasive Border Index…
Inactive β1-integrin acts as a junctional scaffold for angiopoietin/TIE2/FOXO1 signaling
The blood and lymphatic vascular systems are regulated by angiopoietin (ANGPT) growth factors, which signal via endothelial TIE receptor tyrosine kinases and integrins. However, mechanistic understanding of how these receptors…
Prognostic role of histological depth of invasion in T1-2 oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
CONCLUSION: DOI was not a prognostic factor in p16-positive T1-2 OPSCC. Nevertheless, DOI may hold prognostic relevance for p16-negative disease. The patterns of local invasion and locoregional spread in OPSCC…
PFAS exposure modulates mitochondrial susceptibility in steatotic hepatocytes
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are highly persistent environmental pollutants that bioaccumulate in living organisms and are increasingly implicated in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD). Mitochondria, as central regulators…
Early-life proteomic and microbiome features signal obesity risk across 26 years of follow-up
Childhood obesity is rising globally. Yet, few studies have examined the microbiome and proteome in early childhood in relation to this outcome, and most are cross-sectional by design. Early-life factors…
Clarifying the scope and capabilities of ROTS in differential expression analysis
SUMMARY: Recently, Anwar et al. introduced a method combining the ROTS reproducibility optimisation procedure with empirical Bayes variance estimation from limma. Here, we clarify several methodological aspects to support accurate…
