New options for targeting TRPV1 receptors for cancer treatment: odorous Chinese herbal medicine by Minghui Zhang, Minghui Zhang, Zongao Wang, Zongao Wang, Shaojun Liu, Shaojun Liu, Yuxuan Li, Yuxuan Li, Yanting Gong, Yanting Gong, Min Liu, Min Liu

“…It is also involved in the process of cancer occurrence and progression, and researchers are revealing its role in cancer. In this paper, we review the expression and significance of TRPV1 receptor in various cancer cell types, the role of TRPV1 in the apoptosis-proliferation balance, cancer cell invasion and metastasis, and tumor micro-environment, with emphasis on the mechanisms by which TRPV1 receptor mediates inflammatory response, immune system, and thus regulates cancer. …”

Asymmetric-bifurcation snapping, all-or-none motion of Venus flytrap by Xiangli Zeng, Yingzhe Wang, Keisuke Morishima

“…To understand the mechanism underlying this asymmetrically reversible motion, a three-dimensional laser profiler was used to measure both static morphological information and dynamic movements (500 frames per second) of the Venus flytrap, including its rapid closure and slow re-opening. The mean-curvature differences between the open and closed lobes were recorded and used for morphology and energy evaluations. …”

Elocalcitol, a fluorinated vitamin D derivative, prevents high-fat diet-induced obesity via SCAP downregulation and miR-146a-associated mechanisms by Monika Jürgenson, Keerthana Chithanathan, Aivar Orav, Külli Jaako, Janeli Viil, Mithu Guha, Kalev Kask, Alexander Zharkovsky

“…Deletion of the miR-146a gene reduced the anti-obese effects of elocalcitol and prevented its actions on the SCAP levels. The data indicate that elocalcitol’s reduction of SCAP is at least partly mediated by miR-146a modulation.ConclusionThe study demonstrates that elocalcitol prevents HFD-induced obesity and metabolic syndrome in mice, likely by inhibiting SREBP-mediated lipogenesis and upregulating miR-146a. …”

Herrera complexity and shadows of spherically symmetric compact objects by Subhasis Nalui, Subhra Bhattacharya

“…In this context we explore how complexity of compact objects (a fundamentally theoretical classification) is connected to the photon ring (an astrophysical observable in the universe) and its stability. We consider zero complexity systems and discuss its significance with respect to (wrt) formation of photon rings and hence shadows.…”
