Sickle Cell Nephropathy and Associated Factors among Asymptomatic Children with Sickle Cell Anaemia by Uchenna Modestus Nnaji, Christian Chukwukere Ogoke, Henrietta Uche Okafor, Kingsley I. Achigbu

“…Sickle cell nephropathy (SCN) is a serious complication of sickle cell anaemia (SCA) with asymptomatic onset in childhood and possible progression to chronic kidney disease (CKD). In Southeast Nigeria, few studies have evaluated renal function in paediatric SCA patients for early detection of renal impairment and early intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality. …”

Endometrial Cancer Cells Promote M2-Like Macrophage Polarization by Delivering Exosomal miRNA-21 under Hypoxia Condition by Li Xiao, Yumin He, Fan Peng, Jianlin Yang, Chengfu Yuan

“…In summary, we found that endometrial cancer KEL cells in hypoxic condition promoted monocyte THP-1 cell transformation to M2-like polarization macrophages through delivering exosomal miRNA-21, which may be a potential mechanism of the formation of the immune microenvironment in EC progression.…”

Circulating fibroblast growth factor 21 levels in gestational diabetes mellitus and preeclampsia: a systematic review and meta-analysis by Zhen Cao, Zhiming Deng, Jieyi Lu, Ying Yuan

“…However, due to the limited number of studies and the fact that most data were from the second and third trimesters of pregnancy, more large-scale prospective studies are needed to validate these conclusions, investigate the potential of FGF21 in enabling early diagnosis, and further examine the role of FGF21 in the development and progression of GDM/PE. Trial registration Not applicable.…”

Genes underlying cold acclimation in the tea plant (<i>Camellia sinensis</i> (L.) Kuntze) by L. S. Samarina, L. S. Malyukova, M. V. Gvasaliya, A. M. Efremov, V. I. Malyarovskaya, S. V. Loshkareva, M. T. Tuov

“…It has been shown that cell responses to chilling (0…+15°C) and freezing (&lt; 0°C) are not the same and gene expression under cold stress is genotype-specific. In recent decades, progress has been made in understanding the genetic mechanisms underlying the cold response of plants – ICE1 (inducer of CBF expression 1), CBF (C-repeat-binding factor), COR (cold-regulated genes) pathways and signaling have been discovered. …”

Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A Induces Inflammatory Cytokine Expression by Activating IGF-I/PI3K/Akt Pathways by Weiping Li, Hongwei Li, Li Zhou, Zijian Wang, Bing Hua

“…Together, this study demonstrates that PAPP-A activates the macrophage signaling pathway (IGF-I/PI3K/Akt), which drives the expression and production of inflammatory cytokines known to contribute to the initiation and progression of ACS. These findings indicate that PAPP-A may play a proinflammatory role in the pathophysiology of ACS and serve as a potential therapeutic target.…”
