Gene signatures associated with clinical traits identified by Weighted gene coexpression network analysis (WGCNA) guide the recent development of biomarkers for the diagnosis and function mechanism exploration of cancers. A 9-gene signature related to both stemness index (mRNAsi) and prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is identified, which may control the metastasis and drug resistance in HCC.

Abstract Cancer stem cells (CSCs) are heterogeneous with self-renewal and differentiation ability. The mRNA expression-based stemness index (mRNAsi) described the similarity between tumor cells and CSCs, which is positively associated with the poor prognosis of cancer patients. However, the key prognostic genes related to mRNAsi in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. A 9-gene signature related to mRNAsi and HCC prognosis including PSMG3, SNRPD1, DTYMK, PIGU, NME1, TXNL4A, IPO4, PES1, and REXO4 was obtained. High expression of this signature indicates poor prognosis of HCC. PIGU was an independent prognostic factor of HCC, which was significantly associated with progression of HCC. Among them,… More >

Abstract The exosome-mediated response can promote or restrain the diseases by regulating the intracellular pathways, making the exosome become an effective marker for diagnosis and therapeutic control at the single-cell level. However, real-time analysis is hard to be achieved with traditional approaches because the exosomes usually need to be enriched by ultracentrifugation for a measurable signal-to-noise ratio. Recently developed label-free single-molecule imaging approaches may become an real-time quantitative tool for the analysis of single exosomes and related secretion behaviors of single living cells owing to their extreme sensitivity.

Abstract Spinal Cord Injury (SCI) is a debilitating condition characterized by damage to the spinal cord, resulting in loss of function, mobility, and sensation. Although increasingly prevalent in the US, no FDA-approved therapy exists due to the unfortunate complexity of the condition, and the difficulties of SCI may be furthered by the development of SCI-related complications, such as osteoporosis. SCI demonstrates two crucial stages for consideration: the primary stage and the secondary stage. While the primary stage is suggested to be immediate and irreversible, the secondary stage is proposed as a promising window of opportunity for therapeutic intervention. Enolase, a metabolic… More >

Abstract Antibacterial resistance developed by bacteria due to the unlimited use of antibiotics has posed a challenge for
human civilization. This kind of problem is not limited to India only, but it is a global concern. Nowadays, many

Therefore, the alternative medicine has been used to target the drug resistant mechanisms and such medicines have
less side effects which is becoming necessary. Natural products have traditionally or historically been of importance

Abstract Cholesterol is a major lipid in biological membranes. It not only plays a structural role but also modulates a
wide range of functional properties of neurotransmitter and hormone receptors and ion channels. The membraneembedded segments of the paradigm neurotransmitter receptor for acetylcholine (nAChR) contain linear sequences of
amino acids with the capacity to recognize cholesterol. These cholesterol consensus domains have been designated as
“CARC” and its mirror sequence “CRAC”. CARC preferentially occurs in the exoplasmic-facing membrane leaflet,
and CRAC, in the cytoplasmic-facing hemilayer. Both motifs are highly conserved among ion-channel and

Abstract Glycosphingolipids (gangliosides) have been characterized as important biological molecules with a key role as
regulators in many physiological processes on cellular, tissue, organ, and organism levels. The deviations in their normal
amounts, production, and metabolism are very often related to the development of many multi-factor socially important
diseases. GM3 ganglioside, as a small molecule, plays important roles in the cascade regulatory pathways in the pathology
of many disorders like neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune diseases, inflammation, diabetes, malignant
transformation, and others. Ganglioside GM3 and its derivatives are membrane-bound glycosphingolipids composed
of an oligosaccharide head structure containing one sialic acid residue. These molecules… More >

Exon 7 and 8 of survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene or only exon 7 homology deletion leads to the failure to produce a full-length SMN gene. The copy number of SMN2 gene with high homology of SMN1 affects the degree of disease and was the target gene for targeting therapy, in which splicing silencer in intron 7 was the key to suppress the inclusion of exon 7.

The central purpose of this research was to investigate the functions of circRNA in gastric cancer. The utilization of real-time PCR was to test circPTN expression in gastric cancer cells. Cell counting colony formation assays, CCK-8 assay, and EdU assay were used to investigate proliferation. Transwell assay was applied to investigate migration. We discovered that circPTN was highly expressed in gastric cancer cells. Low expression of circPTN inhibits gastric cancer cell proliferation and migration.

Abstract PSMD14 played a vital role in initiation and progression of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Abstract
Tuberculosis (TB) disease has become one of the major public health concerns globally, especially in developing countries. Numerous research studies have already been carried out for TB, but we are still struggling for a complete and quick cure for it. The progress of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains resistant to existing drugs makes its cure and control very complicated. Therefore, it is the need of the hour to search for newer and effective drugs that can inhibit an increasing number of putative drug targets. We applied the drug repurposing concept to identify promising FDA-approved drugs against five key-regulatory genes (FurB, IdeR,… More >
