CONCLUSIONS: Both prenatal and postnatal maternal distress is associated with human milk metabolites. Human milk may buffer infants from some effects of maternal psychological distress, as increases in key metabolites…
The role of human milk oligosaccharides in shaping and restoring infant gut microbiota: Population-based cohort study
CONCLUSIONS: HMOs exhibit age-dependent and structure-specific associations with infant gut microbiota, extending beyond breastfeeding.
Functional Interplay between Heat Shock Protein 90 (HSP90) and Heat Shock Factors (HSFs)
Maintenance of protein homeostasis, also known as proteostasis, is essential for cellular survival under both basal and stress conditions. Proteostasis relies on a coordinated action between molecular chaperones, such as…
Testosterone Exposure During Fetal Masculinization Programming Window Determines the Kidney Size in Adult Mice
Kidney size is sex-dimorphic and regulated by androgens in adult humans and mice. However, the effects of developmental androgen deficiency on kidneys remain elusive. We hypothesized that androgens program future…
Genomic history of early dogs in Europe
The earliest morphologically identifiable dogs are from Europe and date to at least 14,000 years ago^(1-5), although early remains are also found in other regions. The origin of early dogs…
miR-199a-3p Promotes Adipogenic Differentiation to Aggravate Steroid-Induced Osteonecrosis of Femoral Head via the ITGB8/FAK-ERK/RUNX2 Pathway
Steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head (SONFH) is a rapidly progressing and disabling complication of long-term glucocorticoid therapy, lacking effective early-stage intervention mechanisms. Its early manifestation involves a fate shift…
Macrophages restrict tumor immune infiltration by controlling collagen topography
During tumorigenesis, the extracellular matrix is extensively remodeled. Whereas the impact of such remodeling on tumor growth and invasion is well described, the consequences on immune infiltration are not well…
Fluorine-18-Labeled Nucleotide Analogs Targeting Ecto-5′-Nucleotidase (CD73) for Positron Emission Tomography Imaging of Solid Tumors
Ecto-5′-nucleotidase (CD73) is a potential new drug target for cancer immunotherapy. Its overexpression is associated with various aggressive cancers, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) and pancreatic cancer, making it a…
Customizable FDM-based zebrafish larvae mold for live imaging
Accurate and reproducible orientation of zebrafish larvae is essential for high-resolution live imaging but remains difficult with standard agarose mounting. Although previous methods have used 3D-printed tools, often fabricated via…
Outcomes and future activities of the ‘Pan-European network in Lipidomics and EpiLipidomics – EpiLipidNET’
BACKGROUND: Lipidomics and its branch epilipidomics are rapidly advancing fields that explore the roles of native and modified lipids (e.g., oxidized, nitrated and halogenated lipid species), respectively, in biological systems.
