Repurposing of phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor sildenafil as a therapeutic agent to prevent gastric cancer growth through suppressing c-MYC stability for IL-6 transcription by Zhenzhan Zhang, Wuqing Huang, Donghua Huang, Zhou Xu, Qingfeng Xie, Xin Tan, Wenjun He, Weihao Yang, Guoxin Li, Jianguang Ji, Hao Liu

“…The anti-tumor effect and mechanism of the PDE5 inhibitor sildenafil were evaluated via using tumor cells, patient-derived tumor organoids and xenograft animal models in GC. A total of 161 Swedish GC patients from a nationwide population-based cohort who received post-diagnostic PDE5 inhibitors demonstrated lower cancer-specific mortality compared to the controls (HR = 0.66, 95% CI = 0.47-0.92, P = 0.016). …”

An electrolyte-gated transistor for the monitoring of a CRISPR/Cas activity by Pierre Guermonprez, Le Tu Anh, Louis Renaud, Pierre Nioche, Eric Krejci, Aurélie Alleaume-Butaux, Nicolas Battaglini, Vu Thi Thu, Sébastien Sanaur, Benoît Piro

“…Detection of Ribonucleic acids (RNA) is a critical step in the identification of viral or bacterial infections in humans and animals. Reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) remains the gold standard, but clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats linked to a Cas endoribonuclease particle (CRISPR/Cas) have recently revolutionized the recognition step of two RNAs, i.e. the CRISPR-RNA (crRNA) and the target, providing a much better selectivity compared to the naked hybridization on which RT-PCR is based. …”

Flexible reproductive seasonality in Africa-dwelling papionins is associated with low environmental productivity and high climatic unpredictability by Dezeure, Jules, Dagorrette, Julie, Burtschell, Lugdiwine, Chowdhury, Shahrina, Lukas, Dieter, Swedell, Larissa, Huchard, Elise

“…In order to predict how changes in seasonality might affect these animals, it is important to understand which aspects of their diverse patterns of reproductive phenology are linked to either the equally diverse patterns of rainfall seasonality (within-year variations) or instead the marked climatic unpredictability (year-to-year variations) occurring across the intertropical belt. …”
