Targeting Vitamin-D receptor (VDR) by a small molecule antagonist MeTC7 inhibits PD-L1 but controls THMYCN neuroblastoma growth PD-L1 independently

This study shows that MeTC7, a VDR antagonist, reduces PD-L1 expression in cancer cells and inhibits neuroblastoma growth independently of PD-L1.

Detection of Viral RNA Fragments in Human iPSC-Cardiomyocytes following Treatment with Extracellular Vesicles from SARS-CoV-2 Coding-Sequence-Overexpressing Lung Epithelial Cells

This study shows that SARS-CoV-2 RNA can enter cardiomyocytes via extracellular vesicles from infected lung cells, leading to inflammation-related gene upregulation.
