Ovarian cancer is characterized by a high recurrence rate, and platinum resistance often contributes to poor patient outcomes. Cellular senescence can influence the tumor microenvironment, metabolic status, and immune regulation. However, the role of senescence-associated genes (SAGs) in the heterogeneity, prognosis, and treatment-related features of ovarian cancer remains to be further clarified. This study integrated data from TCGA, GEO, and single-cell RNA sequencing to systematically analyze...

Systemic microbial infection leading to septic shock with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) is a major cause of mortality and represents a substantial unmet medical need. We recently observed that, compared with uninfected controls, patients with septic shock exhibit significantly elevated circulating concentrations of the tissue hormone acyl-CoA binding protein (ACBP), encoded by the diazepam binding inhibitor (DBI) gene, a potent inhibitor of autophagy. Increased plasma DBI/ACBP...

Gases released from satellites could slash the threat of severe space weather

Researchers found that social behavior begins in the brain before it becomes visible as movement. In zebrafish, a coordinated pattern of activity spread across the brain several seconds before the animals approached another fish. A higher brain region called the pallium played a key role, and fish with stronger neural signals were generally more social.
