Biological functions and therapeutic potential of acylation by histone acetyltransferases
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Histone lysine acylation is a major class of histone post-translational modifications involved in essential biological activities, such as transcriptional regulation, DNA-damage repair, and cell-cycle progression. Abnormal acylation is strongly associated with various diseases, such as cancer. Thus, histone acetyltransferases (HATs), the “writers” that catalyze histone acylation, […]
Animal models of Alzheimer’s disease: preclinical insights and challenges
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Alzheimer’s disease (AD), an irreversible neurodegenerative disease that progressively impairs memory and cognitive judgment, severely affects the quality of life and imposes a heavy burden on the healthcare system.

Exploitation of platelets for antitumor drug delivery and modulation of the tumor immune microenvironment
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Platelets are blood components traditionally believed to have fundamental roles in vascular hemostasis and thrombosis. In recent years, platelets have received new attention for their roles in tumorigenesis and progression. On the one hand, platelets are actively recruited by various tumors and comprise a crucial part […]
Emerging role of HJURP as a therapeutic target in cancers
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. Holliday junction recognition protein (HJURP) is a key molecular chaperone for centromere protein A (CENP-A), which is essential for chromosome separation during mitosis and cell cycle regulation. Recent studies have identified the essential role of HJURP in carcinogenesis. Abnormal upregulation of HJURP expression has been observed […]
Inhalable ciprofloxacin/polymyxin B dry powders in respiratory infection therapy
Announcing a new publication for Acta Materia Medica journal. This study focuses on the formulation, physicochemical characterization, and antibacterial susceptibility testing of inhalable spray dried powders containing ciprofloxacin (CIP) and polymyxin B sulfate (PMB). CIP nanosuspensions with an average particle diameter of 435.9 ± 9.3 nm were initially obtained using the wet-milling protocol and subsequently […]
