BHPF represses YTHDF2 to induce tissue-specific cell deaths and consequent developmental abnormalities Bisphenol A (BPA) is widely used in a range of plastic products. In recent years, many studies have found that BPA has adverse effects on both ecosystems and human health, and has been banned by many countries for use in the maternal and child products, such as baby bottles and children's water cups. As a result, a variety of bisphenol analogues (BPs) have been introduced as alternativ...

Alpha is the “king” of a horde of mice. While meeting another mouse in the pipeline, Alpha can scare it away with merely a glance. But one day the situation changes. With unexpected courage, the little “mouse brother” pushes Alpha out of the way directly after confronting the “king” for several seconds. After experiencing the Waterloo for several successive days, Alpha becomes depressed and loses his previous dominance.This reversal was orchestrated by a cohort of brain scientists who witn...

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is one of the most common and deadly hematological malignancies in the elderly, with a median age at diagnosis between 68 and 72 years. AML patients over 60 years old have worse survival outcomes than their younger counterparts. Therefore, early and accurate diagnosis and subtyping of AML are crucial for patients' treatment and prognosis. However, diagnosing and differentiating AML subtypes in bone marrow smear images is a complex and time-consuming task. Recent ...

Symptomatic treatment was commonly used for chronic diseases in the past. For example, diabetes was often treated by controlling the increase of glucose and alleviating various diabetes-induced complications with insulin. However, how to prevent diabetes has remained elusive in the scientific and medical community, and it has become a global research hotspot to find out the origin of the disease for early intervention.Recently, the team led by Prof. HUANG Hefeng from Women’s Hospital at the Zhe...

Myelin is a multiple-layered structure formed by oligodendrocytes. The ensheathment of axons by myelin plays an important role in both functional integrity and long-term survival of axons and thus regulates activity of the central nervous system (CNS). However, with ageing, some myelin sheaths exhibit myelin ageing and even myelin degeneration termed as demyelination, which is the key pathological feature of the autoimmune inflammatory diseases of CNS such as multiple sclerosis (MS) and an early...
