Abstract Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) have 6–12 carbon atoms and are instantly absorbed into the bloodstream before traveling to the portal vein and the liver, where they are immediately used for energy and may have antitumor effects. Its role in breast cancer is poorly understood. To investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect of MCFAs in breast...

Abstract Hematological and neurological expressed 1 (HN1), encoding a small protein, has been recently explored in different cancers owing to its higher expression in tumor samples as compared to adjacent normal. It was discovered and subsequently named because of its higher expression in hematological and neurological tissues in developing mice. Following...

Abstract Runt-related transcription factor 1 (RUNX1) plays an important role in normal haematopoietic cell development and function, and its function is frequently disrupted in leukaemia. RUNX1 is widely recognised as a sequence-specific DNA binding factor that recognises the motif 5′-TG(T/C)GGT-3′ in promoter and enhancer regions of its target genes....

Abstract This study aimed to explore the effects of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor γ (PPARγ) inhibition on fracture healing of nonunion and the underlying mechanisms. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) were treated with PPARγ antagonist GW9662 (5 μM, 10 μM). Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining and Alizarin Red S was used to assess...

Abstract We investigated the effects of obesity on metabolic, inflammatory, and oxidative stress parameters in the adipose tissue of patients with fatal COVID-19. Postmortem biopsies of subcutaneous adipose tissue were obtained from 25 unvaccinated inpatients who passed from COVID-19, stratified as nonobese (N-OB; body mass index [BMI], 26.5 ± 2.3 kg m−2)...
