In a new study, Dr. David Jacques, a medical researcher at the University of New South Wales in Australia, and his team discovered how the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) breaks through the nucleus to establish infection, a discovery that goes beyond the scope of HIV biology. The relevant research results were published online in the journal Nature, with the title “The HIV capsid mimics karyopherin engagement of FG-nucleoporins”. To…

The Mechanism by Which Leukemia Stem Cells Promote Their Own Growth after Chemotherapy
The mystery of why myeloid leukemia begins to grow again after chemotherapy kills most malignant cells and how to prevent growth through reused drugs may be solved through new research. The bone marrow of patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) contains a rare group of leukemia stem cells (LSCs) that do not grow and therefore are not killed by chemotherapy. However, after treatment, these cells began to grow and…
Potential Therapeutic Targets for Human Inflammatory Bowel Disease and Colitis Induced Colorectal Cancer
Intestinal inflammation can trigger a vicious cycle that disrupts the sensitive relationships between food, digestive acids, microorganisms, and the immune system, further promoting inflammation and sometimes even leading to tumor growth; Recently, a research report published in the journal JCI Insight titled “Farnesoid X receptor mediates macrophage-intrinsic responses to suppress colitis-induced colon cancer progression,” scientists from institutions such as the University of Wisconsin Madison identified a promising new target for…
TRIB3-TRIM8 Complex Regulates HNF4Α Stability to Promote the Progression of Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Hepatocellular endoplasmic reticulum stress plays an important role in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Hepatonuclear factor 4 α (HNF4α) reduced expression is an important event in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver and other liver diseases. Does endoplasmic reticulum stress regulate the expression of HNF4α is not clear yet. The purpose of this study is to elucidate the mechanism of HNF4 α protein degradation and exploration of…
