Cell Migration Inducing Hyaluronidase 1 (CEMIP) is a protein that plays regulatory functions in a variety of cellular processes in many diseases. Nevertheless, its role and molecular mechanism in keloid hyperplasia are still elusive. ⋯ In summary, this study revealed that CEMIP modulated KF proliferation, migration, invasion and ECM deposition by TGF-β/Smad signaling through binding to SPARC.

To comprehensively analyze the clinical significance of Immune Checkpoint-Related Genes (ICRGs) in Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma (PAAD). ⋯ The present study suggested that ICRGs were associated with TIME formation and prognosis of PAAD patients, which may serve as novel clinical biomarkers and therapeutic targets.

• Homeopathy is based on four heterodox and complementary scientific assumptions. • Pseudoskeptics deny these assumptions and any scientific evidence that proves them. • The e-book proves the scientific evidence for homeopathy. • The e-book describes hundreds of experimental and clinical studies in homeopathy. • The e-book demystifies the fallacy that “homeopathy is placebo effect”.

The authors hypothesized that ventilation and hyperoxia may harm the cochlea vasculature in an experimental model of Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia (CDH) performed in rabbits. ⋯ The severity of bleeding was 3.16 times worse with 100% oxygenation in CDH. This information may be helpful for future therapeutic strategies for decreasing SNHL in CDH patients.

NSCLC is one of the most common causes of death. The hypoxia microenvironment contributes to cancer progression. The purpose was to explore the effects and mechanism of melittin on NSCLC cells in the hypoxic microenvironment. ⋯ Melittin inactivated the YAP/HIF-1α pathway via up-regulation of LATS2 to contribute to the development of NSCLC. Therefore, melittin is expected to become a potential prognostic drug for the therapy of NSCLC.
