Summary: The study showed that hsa_circ_0000212 acts as a sponge for miR-491, modulating CRC cell proliferation by targeting FOXP4. Decreased miR-491 expression or increased FOXP4 expression was associated with CRC patient pathological staging. Additionally, circ-0000212 was upregulated in CRC tissues and promoted CRC cell viability by sponging miR-491 and modulating FOXP4.

Summary: In early-onset preeclampsia (EOPE), decreased expression of MALAT1 and PFKFB3 is associated with endothelial cell dysfunction. PFKFB3 modulates the proliferation, migration, and tube formation of ECs by regulating glycolysis, while MALAT1 regulates PFKFB3 expression by sponging miR-26a/26b. MALAT1 knockdown reduces EC angiogenesis by inhibiting PFKFB3-mediated glycolysis flux, suggesting that strategies targeting PFKFB3-driven glycolysis may be a promising approach for EOPE treatment.

Summary: This study identified unique transcriptional programs and enriched expression of genes at the chr7q locus in tumors undergoing large-cell transformation (LCT) in late-stage mycosis fungoides (MF). Aberrant expression of the imprinted gene Paternally Expressed Gene 10 (PEG10) in LCT was shown to drive cell size increase, promote proliferation, and confer treatment resistance through a PEG10/KLF2/NF-kappa B axis. Pharmacological targeting of PEG10 reversed the proliferation and treatment resistance phenotypes in LCT, suggesting PEG10 inhibition as a promising therapeutic approach.

Summary: L-theanine is the main amino acid in tea leaves and has both flavor and health benefits. Its immunomodulatory effects, particularly on reducing immunosuppression and improving immunity, have been studied in clinical and epidemiological research. Numerous studies on cells and animals have also shown that theanine plays a role in regulating inflammation, nerve damage, the intestinal tract, and tumors by regulating certain cellular functions.

Summary: Biological invasions, especially by Spartina alterniflora, are significantly impacting the structure and functions of coastal ecosystems in China. Urgent efforts to control the spread of this invasive species are hindered by the lack of time-series data. By using satellite images, this study successfully generated annual maps of Spartina saltmarshes from 1985 to 2020, revealing a continuous expansion of Spartina along the coast. The invasion history and frequency of changes were found to be influenced by latitude, with low latitudes experiencing longer and more frequent invasions. Human interventions have contributed to the decline in certain areas, but natural spread remains the primary driver of its extensive invasion.
