E3 ubiquitin ligase-dependent regulatory mechanism of TRIM family in carcinogenesis
by Gui Zhang , Yunfang Zhang , Luxuan Chen , Langxia Liu  and  Xuejuan Gao
Abstract
Tripartite motif-containing (TRIM) proteins consist of over 80 proteins, the majority of which exhibit E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. E3 ligases have a critical role in various cellular processes by specifically recognizing and ubiquitinating substrate proteins to promote their proteasomal degradation or alter their activities. Numerous studies have indicated that TRIMs are invo [...] Read more

The dynamics of traditions and women’s employment: Evidence from a developing country
by Safdar Ullah Khan , Arthur H. Goldsmith  and  Gulasekaran Rajaguru
Abstract
The workforce participation rate, and hence the level of employment, for women in Pakistan is among the lowest in South Asia – standing at 25 percent in 2023. Conventional explanations attribute this to poor skills and cultural norms of families and society at large. Empirical work has established that low levels of education, and community attitudes regarding gender role [...] Read more

A prognostic aging-related lncRNA risk model correlates with the immune microenvironment in HCC
by Kun Mei , Zilu Chen , Qin Wang , Akbar Ali , Yan Huang  and  Luo Yi
Abstract
Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) stands out as one of the most lethal cancers globally, given its complexity, recurrence following surgical resection, metastatic potential, and inherent heterogeneity. In recent years, researchers have systematically elucidated the significance of long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) in the initiation and progression of HCC. The intr [...] Read more

Vector Error Correction Models with Stationary and Nonstationary Variables
by Pu Chen
Abstract
Vector Error Correction Models (VECM) have become a standard tool in empirical economics for analyzing nonstationary time series data because they integrate two key concepts in economics: equilibrium and dynamic adjustment in a single model. The current standard VECM procedure is limited to time series data with the same degree of integration, i.e., all I(1) variables. However, [...] Read more

Overcoming MTDH and MTDH-SND1 complex: driver and potential therapeutic target of cancer
by Hao Shen , Jiayu Ding , Jiaying Ji , Binjian Jiang , Xiao Wang  and  Peng Yang
Abstract
Metadherin (MTDH), also known as LYRIC or AEG-1, is an oncogene that enhances tumor progression, metastasis, drug resistance, and immune escape in various cancers by modulating multiple oncogenic pathways, including NF-κB, PI3K/AKT, Wnt/β-catenin, MAPK, and AMPK. Due to the unknown of the complete structure of MTDH, the deep mechanisms of MTDH and selective inhibitor [...] Read more

Targeted intracellular delivery of BH3 mimetic peptide inhibits BCL-2 activity and prevents breast cancer development
by Zhengdong Yuan , Yiwen Zhang , Xuena Yang  and  Hai Qin
Abstract
Breast cancer, as a malignant tumor with easy metastasis and poor prognosis, threatens the health of women around the world. Increasing studies have shown that the Bcl-2 family of apoptosis-related proteins is often expressed abnormally in breast cancer. The Bcl-2 homology 3 (BH3) mimetic peptide can bind and neutralize Bcl-2, preventing its binding to the apoptosis "effector" [...] Read more
