    Abstract In recent years, the rapid emergence of 3D organoid technology has garnered significant attention from researchers. These miniature models accurately replicate the structure and function of human tissues and organs, offering more physiologically relevant platforms for cancer research. These intricate 3D structures not only serve as promising models for studying human cancer, but also significantly contribute to the advancement of various potential applications in the field of cancer research. To date, organoids have been efficiently constructed from both normal and malignant tissues originating from patients. Using such bioengineering platforms, simulations of infections and cancer processes, mutations and carcinogenesis can be achieved, and organoid technology is also expected to facilitate drug testing and personalized therapies. In conclusion, regenerative medicine has the potential to enhance organoid technology and current transplantation treatments by utilizing genetically identical healthy organoids as substitutes for irreversibly deteriorating diseased organs. This review explored the evolution of cancer organoids and emphasized the significant role these models play in fundamental research and the advancement of personalized medicine in oncology.

    Abstract Acetoin (AC) is an important platform bulk chemical with versatile applications. It exists in two stereoisomeric forms: (3R)-AC and (3S)-AC. Both stereoisomers could be potentially applied in the pharmaceutical industry, agriculture, and in optically active α-hydroxyketone derivative synthesis. Chiral AC production has recently become a new research focus in biotechnology. Fermentative and biocatalytic routes that can produce (3R)-AC or (3S)-AC with high optical purity have been developed over the past several years. In this review we summarize recent advances in strain screening, metabolic engineering, and biocatalytic system construction aimed at improving the production of chiral AC. Limiting factors and possible solutions for chiral AC production are discussed.

    Abstract β-Galactosidases are crucial carbohydrate-active enzymes that naturally catalyze the hydrolysis of galactoside bonds in oligo- and disaccharides. These enzymes are commonly used to degrade lactose and produce low-lactose and lactose-free dairy products that are beneficial for lactose-intolerant people. β-galactosidases exhibit transgalactosylation activity, and they have been employed in the synthesis of galactose-containing compounds such as galactooligosaccharides. However, most β-galactosidases have intrinsic limitations, such as low transglycosylation efficiency, significant product inhibition effects, weak thermal stability, and a narrow substrate spectrum, which greatly hinder their applications. Enzyme engineering offers a solution for optimizing their catalytic performance. The study of the enzyme's structure paves the way toward explaining catalytic mechanisms and increasing the efficiency of enzyme engineering. In this review, the structure features of β-galactosidases from different glycosyl hydrolase families and the catalytic mechanisms are summarized in detail to offer guidance for protein engineering. The properties and applications of β-galactosidases are discussed. Additionally, the latest progress in β-galactosidase engineering and the strategies employed are highlighted. Based on the combined analysis of structure information and catalytic mechanisms, the ultimate goal of this review is to furnish a thorough direction for β-galactosidases engineering and promote their application in the food and dairy industries.

    Abstract Purpose: The relationship between the TIR and mortality may be influenced by the presence of diabetes and other glycemic indicators. The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between TIR and in-hospital mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients in ICU. Methods: A total of 998 patients with severe diseases in the ICU were selected for this retrospective analysis. The TIR is defined as the percentage of time spent in the target blood glucose range of 3.9–10.0 mmol/L within 24 h. The relationship between TIR and in-hospital mortality in diabetic and non-diabetic patients was analyzed. The effect of glycemic variability was also analyzed. Results: The binary logistic regression model showed that there was a significant association between the TIR and the in-hospital death of severely ill non-diabetic patients. Furthermore, TIR≥70% was significantly associated with in-hospital death (OR = 0.581, P = 0.003). The study found that the coefficient of variation (CV) was significantly associated with the mortality of severely ill diabetic patients (OR = 1.042, P = 0.027). Conclusions: Both diabetic and non-diabetic critically ill patients should control blood glucose fluctuations and maintain blood glucose levels within the target range, it may be beneficial in reducing mortality.

    Abstract Background: PM2.5 exposure is one of the major inducements of various respiratory diseases and related mortality. Meanwhile, irisin, a metabolism and thermogenesis-related hormone, is found to be protective against acute lung injury induced by LPS, which indicates its therapeutic function in lung injury. However, the function and underlying mechanism of irisin in PM2.5-induced acute lung injury (ALI) are still unclear. This study is aimed to discover the potential mechanisms of irisin in PM2.5-induced acute lung injury.
    Methods: Atg5 deficient mice and cells were established to clarify the relationship between irisin and autophagy in PM2.5-induced ALI. We also used Ad-mCherry-GFP-LC3B as a monitor of autophagy flux to claim the effects of irisin on autophagy. Western blotting and qPCR were used to reveal the molecular mechanism.
    Results: As a result, PM2.5 exposure induced lung injury whereas mitigated by irisin. Moreover, PM2.5 hampered autophagy flux, characterized by accumulation of p62, and autophagosomes, as well as blocked autolysosomes. Irisin improved the disturbed autophagy flux, which was abrogated by deficiency of Atg5. Additionally, we demonstrated that irisin activated AMPK and inhibited mTOR, which indicated the enhanced autophagy. Moreover, blockage of AMPK by compound C terminated irisin's induction of autophagy in cultured MH-S cells.
    Conclusion: Our findings reveal that irisin performs protective effects against PM2.5-induced ALI by activating autophagy through AMPK/mTOR signaling pathway.
