NR2F1 promotes cataract via STAT-3
Compuscript LtdCataracts are a prevalent ocular condition characterized by a progressive decline in vision, ultimately leading to blindness. Epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and the subsequent migration of lens epithelial cells are major contributors to cataracts formation. Nonetheless, the mechanisms underlying this transition remain largely unknown.

JMJD1C: A critical suppressor in neuropathic pain via the SOCS3/JAK/STAT3 regulatory pathway
Compuscript LtdNeuropathic pain (NP), a chronic and debilitating condition caused by nerve damage, significantly impairs patients' quality of life. Super-enhancers (SEs), important cis-regulatory elements, have been implicated in various pathological processes; however, their specific role in NP remains unclear. This study explores the molecular mechanisms by which SEs contribute to NP progression and identifies potential therapeutic targets.

Ferritin levels do not appear to be significantly associated with fertility or metabolic health in women with PCOS
University of Oulu, FinlandWomen with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) tend to have higher average ferritin levels compared to control subjects, but this does not seem to have a significant impact on their fertility or metabolic health. Iron deficiency also does not appear to be associated with infertility in women with PCOS. These findings are based on a study conducted at the University of Oulu, Finland, which investigated the relevance of ferritin levels to the health of women with PCOS.
