Overview of Microbial Epigenetics
Introduction to Microbial Epigenetics Epigenetics has been defined as the study of stable alterations in gene expression potentials that arise during development and cell proliferation, or alterations in DNA function without alterations in DNA sequence. Modern epigenetic features refer to the alteration of DNA and/or associated proteins without nucleotide sequence variance, which transmits the ...

What are the Possibilities for ADCs Targeting Trop2?
Antibody drug conjugate (ADC) research involves more and more targets, such as HER-2, Trop-2, Claudin-18.2, B7-H3 and B7-H4, etc. Trop-2 is a transmembrane glycoprotein. Its high expression is associated with the occurrence of many tumors and poor prognosis. It is a very popular ADC research target, second only to HER2. Currently, only Gilead's Trop-2 ADC drug Trodelvy has been approved for ...

Inflammation, Immunity and Cancer
Relationship Between Immunity, Inflammation and Cancer Immunity is an act of self-protection of the body. The immune response is divided into specific and non-specific. The antigen and antibody responses are generally referred to as specific immune responses, which require the participation of B cells and T cells. Other immune cells such as macrophages and NK cells mediate non-specific immune ...

Analytical Approaches and Applications of Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) in Oncology
Introduction Genomics has revolutionized cancer research, transforming the way we diagnose, treat, and monitor cancer. Among the powerful genetic analysis methods, Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) stands out as a cutting-edge technique that employs sequence capture technology to enrich DNA from the whole exome regions, enabling high-throughput sequencing. WES offers a simpler, more cost-effective, ...

New Approach to Successfully Purify and Characterize Human Neural Stem Cells
Human brain has approximately 171 billion cells, of which slightly more than half (approximately 86 billion) are nerve cells. These 86 billion nerve cells are a diverse cell population with hundreds of specialized types and functions, but all originate from three neural cell lineages--neurons, oligodendrocytes, and astrocytes. All three cell lineages originate from a pool of neural stem and ...

Establishment of a Stable Organoid Culture System: Customization and Standardization
Prefix Organoids are miniature organs created in vitro from adult stem cells (ASCs) or pluripotent stem cells (PSCs). They form three-dimensional (3D) tissue-like structures through the self-organization, self-renewal, and differentiation capabilities of stem cells. Compared to traditional two-dimensional (2D) cell cultures or spheroids, organoids closely resemble living organs in terms of ...

Autoimmune Diseases Targets
Thymic Stromal Lymphopoietin (TSLP) is a multifunctional cytokine that acts on various cell types, including dendritic cells, T cells, B cells, neutrophils, mast cells, eosinophils, and innate lymphoid cells, affecting their maturation, survival, and recruitment. It is well-known for its role in promoting type 2 immune responses, such as allergic diseases. In 2021, a monoclonal antibody targeting ...

New Findings about Capsular polysaccharide You May Want to Know
Streptococcus pneumoniae is the leading cause of pneumonia, sepsis and meningitis. Collectively, these infections are a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in older adults and young children. To fight these deadly infections, a pneumococcal vaccine is given to stimulate the production of antibodies against CPS. However, bacteria can manipulate their CPS structure to evade these antibodies. ...

Research Progress of Tetrahydrocurcumin
Tetrahydrocurcumin (THC), as the most active and main metabolite produced in the metabolism of curcumin in vivo, can be isolated from the cytoplasm of the small intestine and liver after curcumin administration in human or mouse. Tetrahydrocurcumin can effectively inhibit tyrosinase, inhibit the generation of Oxygen Free Radicals and scavenge the formed free radicals. It has obvious antioxidant ...

Applications of 16S/18S/ITS Amplicon Sequencing
16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing has now been a well-established method. Due to its low cost, shorter cycle and low quality requirement of the sample, 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing is widely used in the study of microorganisms. 16S/18S/ITS amplicon sequencing reveals the species of microorganisms in environmental samples and their differences, relative abundance, population structure and ...

The development of complete personalized treatment plans for colon cancer patients utilizing three gene prediction models.
Background Combination chemotherapy using fluorouracil, leucovorin with or without oxaliplatin (5-FU and FOLFOX) are standard treatment for locally advanced colon cancer. However, about half of the patients developed recurrence. The objective of this study was to use gene profiling to predict treatment efficacy for colon cancer patients (stages 1-3). We developed three prediction models: the ...

Applications of Diamine Oxidase
Diamine oxidase (DAO) is an intracellular enzyme that catalyzes diamine in mucosal or ciliated epithelial cells of the mammalian small intestine. It protects the intestinal mucosa by regulating intracellular ion homeostasis, influencing conduction pathways, and promoting cellular repair. Serum DAO is elevated in small intestinal mucosal barrier failure or in intestinal mucosal cell necrosis; ...

What is the difference between infection and disease?
Disease-causing microbes are often found in the human microbiome. So, when does the presence of pathogenic microbes indicate an infection? And when does the presence of infection explain disease? What is an infection? What is a disease? A disease associated with microbes is the outcome of interaction(s) between a microbe(s) and its host in which the host suffers some sort of damage. ...

Bacteria and Viruses: How They Differ
Bubonic plague, HIV/AIDS and COVID-19 are all examples of pandemics, however, the first is caused by bacteria and the other two are caused by viruses. Both viral and bacterial infections have similar effects on the body. Coughing, sneezing, fever, inflammation, vomiting, fatigue, and so forth are signs that your immune system is working to fight off an infection. While bacteria and viruses ...

Introduction and Detection Methods for Phytochemicals
What Are Phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are natural compounds that have only been discovered so far and are natural food pigments. The human body is unable to produce them and must obtain them from food. Soy isoflavones in soybeans, lycopene in tomatoes, catechins in green tea, carotenoids in carrots, zeaxanthin, polyphenols, etc., are all phytochemicals. Classification and Functions of Common ...

A Novel Potential Target for CAR-T Cell Therapy in Human Solid Tumors Discovered
At present, chimeric antigen receptor T cell therapy (CAR-T) has made significant achievements in the treatment of specific hematological cancers, allowing patients with relapsed/refractory disease to survive longer and become healthier, but in clinical studies, cell therapy has actually not been successful in the treatment of patients with solid tumors, in part due to the lack of tumor targets ...
