BD could restrain CRC growth through repressing the circ_0068464/miR-520h/ATG5 axis. Abstract Bruceine D (BD) from Brucea javanica (L) exerts an antitumor effect in several human cancers. At present, it has not been reported whether BD inhibits the malignancy of colorectal cancer (CRC) cells. Therefore, investigating the role and regulatory mechanisms of BD in CRC is the main thrust of this study.

With network pharmacology, we tried to clarify the crucial bioactive components and underlying mechanism of Prunella vulgaris L. (PVL) against hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We found that PVL targets multiple cancer-related pathways and downstream targets, and quercetin, as one of the crucial components of PVL, has tumor-suppressive activity on HCC cells, probably via modulating PI3K/AKT1 pathway.

Clinical trial data management is increasingly challenging as studies grow in complexity. Quickly accessing and analyzing study data is vital for assessing trial progress and patient safety. In this paper, we explore real-time data access and analysis for proactive study management. We investigate using adverse event (AE) data to monitor safety and discuss a clinical analytics platform that supports collaboration and data review workflows.

SpringWorks Therapeutics’ Ogsiveo (nirogacestat) has become the first drug to be approved for desmoid tumours in the US, following the go-ahead from the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Desmoid tumours are non-cancerous but can be locally aggressive. Although surgical removal has historically been the treatment of choice, there is a high risk that the tumour will return or that other health challenges will occur after removal.

A new study shows that dopamine release in the human brain plays a crucial role in encoding both reward and punishment prediction errors. This means that dopamine is involved in the process of learning from both positive and negative experiences, allowing the brain to adjust and adapt its behavior based on the outcomes of these experiences.

The universe is expanding. How fast it does so is described by the so-called Hubble-Lemaitre constant. But there is a dispute about how big this constant actually is: Different measurement methods provide contradictory values. This so-called 'Hubble tension' poses a puzzle for cosmologists. Researchers are now proposing a new solution: Using an alternative theory of gravity, the discrepancy in the measured values can be easily explained -- the Hubble tension disappears.

They have also discovered more than a dozen additional candidates, suggesting these galaxies might be three to 10 times as common as expected. If that conclusion is confirmed, it suggests the early universe was much dustier than previously thought.
