Silver carp is a critically significant species in freshwater aquaculture in China, characterized by its limited tolerance to hypoxia. In this study, a significant SNP locus at Chr8: 29647765 (T/C) associated with hypoxia tolerance traits was identif...

Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is the most common adult kidney cancer, and accounts for 85% of all cases of kidney cancers worldwide. Praeruptorin B (Pra-B) is a bioactive constituent of Peucedanum praeruptorum Dunn and exhibits several pharmacological a...

Metabolism has emerged as a regulator of core stem cell properties such as proliferation, survival, self-renewal, and multilineage potential. Metabolites serve as secondary messengers, fine-tuning signaling pathways in response to microenvironment al...

Cathepsin C (CTSC) mediates neutrophil serine protease (NSP) maturation, contributing to inflammatory cascades, making it a key therapeutic target. In this study, through large-scale screening of a natural product library, marrubiin, a diterpenoid la...

Emerging evidence suggests that several of the lysosomal cathepsin proteases are genetically associated with type 1 diabetes (T1D) and participate in immune-mediated destruction of the pancreatic β cells. We previously reported that the T1D candidate...

Tongue squamous cell carcinoma (TSCC), a subtype of head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, is characterized by frequent chemoresistance. Genetic mutations commonly observed in TSCC play a critical role in malignant progression; thus, elucidating thei...

Machine learning for online monitoring of abnormalities in fluid catalytic cracking process (FCC) operations is crucial to the efficient processing of petroleum resources. A novel identification method is proposed in this paper to solve this problem,...

Background: Atherosclerosis is a progressive and complex vascular pathology characterized by cellular heterogeneity, metabolic dysregulation, and chronic inflammation. Despite extensive research, the intricate molecular mechanisms underlying its deve...

As traffic congestion in cities becomes serious, intelligent traffic signal control has been actively studied. Deep Q-Network (DQN), a representative deep reinforcement learning algorithm, is applied to various domains from fully-observable game envi...

Background and Clinical Significance: Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is an autosomal recessive genetic skin disorder. Genetic studies have demonstrated that mutations in the Cathepsin-C (CTSC) gene, mapped to chromosome 11q14.1–q1...

In order to enhance the accuracy of short-term wind power forecasting (WPF), a short-term wind power forecasting method based on historical wind resources by data mining has been designed. Firstly, the spoiled data resulting from wind turbine and met...

Metastasis-related events are the primary cause of cancer-related deaths, and circulating tumor cells (CTCs) have a pivotal role in metastatic relapse. CTCs include a variety of subtypes with different functional characteristics. Interestingly, the e...

Renal dysfunction is common in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Previous findings from a meta-analysis of GWAS indicated that the variation of RAB38/CTSC is highly associated with the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) in European popula...

The Papillon–Lefèvre syndrome (PLS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the Cathepsin C (CTSC) gene, characterized by periodontitis and palmoplantar hyperkeratosis. The main inflammatory deficiencies include oxi...

Tenderness is one of the most important meat quality traits and it can be measured through shear force with the Warner–Bratzler test. In the current study, we use the RNA-seq technique to analyze the transcriptome of Longissimus dorsi (LD) musc...

As the number of COVID-19 cases increases, the long-COVID symptoms become the focus of clinical attention. Based on the statistical analysis of long-COVID symptoms in European and Chinese populations, this study proposes the path module correlation c...

Traditional assessment methods in dental education, such as written tests and multiple-choice questions, primarily measure theoretical knowledge but inadequately evaluate clinical and interpersonal competencies. The Objective Structured Clinical Exam...

The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex three-dimensional network of macromolecules that provides structural support for the cells and plays a significant role in tissue homeostasis and repair. Growing evidence indicates that dysregulation of ECM...

The transcriptomic profiling of lung damage associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection may lead to the development of effective therapies to prevent COVID-19-related deaths. We selected a series of 21 autoptic lung samples, 14 of which had positive nasopha...

Male-derived sterility in cattle-yaks, a hybrid deriving from yak and cattle, is a challenging problem. This study compared and analyzed the histomorphological differences in testis between sexually mature yak and cattle-yak, and examined the transcr...

This study centers on the adsorption–flotation coupling extraction of rubidium (Rb⁺) and cesium (Cs⁺) within a titanium silicate (CTS)–cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) system, systematically investigating the impacts of pH, aeration...
