DRAM1 enhances the proliferation and metastasis of gastric cancer through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway and energy metabolism by Xinrong Wu, Yifan Li, Weiwei Wang, Jiale Xu, Bei Zhao, Wenqi Sun, Dan Ge, Longying Xiong, Xiaotan Dou, Xiaoping Zou, Lei Wang, Min Chen

“…Metabolic reprogramming, a hallmark of tumors, plays a pivotal role in tumor progression, immune evasion, and immune surveillance. DNA damage-regulated autophagy modulator 1 (DRAM1) encodes a hexameric transmembrane protein that is predominantly located in lysosomes and induces autophagy; however, its mechanism of action in gastric cancer remains unclear. …”

Passive Outdoor Host Seeking Device (POHD): Designing and Evaluation against Outdoor Biting Malaria Vectors by Stella T. Kessy, Ladslaus L. Mnyone, Bruno A. Nyundo, Issa N. Lyimo

“…However, the odor-baited devices developed so far are bulky, dependent on the source of electricity and carbon dioxide (CO2), and they are logistically unsuitable for scaling up in surveillance and control of malaria vectors. We designed a passive and portable outdoor host seeking device (POHD) and preliminarily evaluated suitable components against Anopheles arabiensis that maintains residual malaria transmission. …”
