Role of ACSBG1 in brain lipid metabolism and X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy pathogenesis: Insights from a knockout mouse model

This study investigates ACSBG1's role in brain lipid metabolism and XALD using a knockout mouse model, revealing altered fatty acid profiles but no direct link to XALD pathology.

Molecular stratification of human fetal vaginal epithelium by spatial transcriptome analysis

This study uses spatial transcriptomics to classify human fetal vaginal epithelium into four zones, identifying distinct gene expression patterns and potential differentiation trajectories.

Targeting CD301+ macrophage inhibits endometrial fibrosis and improves pregnancy outcome

This study identifies CD301+ macrophages as drivers of endometrial fibrosis and infertility, showing their inhibition improves pregnancy outcomes in mice.

Stanniocalcin 2 (STC2) is a potent biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma with its expression being augmented in Nrf1α-deficient cells, but diminished in Nrf2-deficient cells

The paper identifies STC2 as a biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma, showing its expression is increased in Nrf1α-deficient cells and decreased in Nrf2-deficient cells, with STC2 promoting tumor growth.

VERY LONG-CHAIN ACYL-CoA SYNTHETASE-3 (ACSVL3) PROMOTES THE MALIGNANT GROWTH BEHAVIOR OF U87 GLIOMA CELLS VIA CHANGES IN CELL CYCLE WITHOUT AFFECTING APOPTOSIS

This study shows that reducing ACSVL3 expression in U87 glioma cells slows their growth and tumor formation in mice by altering the cell cycle without affecting apoptosis.

ACSF2: A MEDIUM-CHAIN ACYL-CoA SYNTHETASE WITH A POTENTIAL ROLE IN NEURONAL DIFFERENTIATION

This paper characterizes ACSF2, a medium-chain acyl-CoA synthetase, showing its role in neuronal differentiation through localization, enzymatic activity, and functional impact on neurite outgrowth.

Cell transcriptomic atlas of the non-human primate Macaca fascicularis

The paper presents a single-cell transcriptomic atlas of Macaca fascicularis, identifying cell interactions and disease associations.

CD147 antibody specifically and effectively inhibits infection and cytokine storm of SARS-CoV-2 variants

This study shows that CD147 antibody inhibits SARS-CoV-2 infection and cytokine storm in variants by blocking viral entry and reducing inflammatory responses.

Small proteins modulate ion channel-like ACD6 to regulate immunity in Arabidopsis thaliana

The paper identifies two small proteins, MHA1 and MHA1L, that modulate ACD6 activity in Arabidopsis thaliana, affecting growth and defense trade-offs through calcium influx regulation.
