Four Novel Receptors May Link Endometrial Cancer to PCOS

BUFFALO, NY- September 25, 2023 – A new research paper was published in Oncotarget's Volume 14 on September 22, 2023, entitled, “Transcriptomic analysis identifies four novel receptors potentially linking endometrial cancer with polycystic ovary syndrome and generates a transcriptomic atlas.” Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is associated with a 3 to 4-fold increased risk of endometrial cancer (EC), but molecular mechanisms are unclear. Upregulation of the IGF1 gene in PCOS endometrium may increase EC risk, but this is uncertain. In this new study, researchers Fatma Alqutami, Mahmood Hachim, Charlie Hodgman, and William Atiomo from the Mohammed Bin Rashid University of Medicine and Health Sciences and the University of Nottingham aimed to investigate links between EC and PCOS, by analyzing publicly available transcriptomic data. “The original aim of this study was to investigate the links between EC and PCOS, by analysing publicly available transcriptomic data and investigate IGF-1 and IGFBP gene expression in the endometrium of women with PCOS and EC compared with normal endometrium.” The NCBI Gene Expression Omnibus was used to identify relevant studies. Differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified and analyzed using Metascape to identify pathways of interest. PCOS DEGs that encode proteins secreted into blood were identified using the Human Protein Atlas blood protein database. EC DEGs that are cellular receptors were identified using EcoTyper. These were intersected to identify which EC receptors interact with PCOS secreted proteins. Seven receptors were identified in EC but only PTPRF, ITGA2, ITGA3, and ITGB4 genes were expressed on epithelial cells. Pathway enrichment of these genes showed that the major and common pathway involved was that of the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway which was consistent with a link between PCOS and EC. However, IGF1 was down regulated in PCOS and EC. “Our conclusions at this stage do not support a link between IGF-1 and IGFBP genes in PCOS and EC. However, we have identified four novel receptors which may underpin the risk of EC in PCOS, and we believe our findings provide sufficient evidence to form the basis for a transcriptomic atlas to underpin future research into the links between PCOS and EC and the molecular mechanisms underpinning both diseases.” DOI - https://doi.org/10.18632/oncotarget.28513 Correspondence to - William Atiomo - william.atiomo@mbru.ac.ae Sign up for free Altmetric alerts about this article - https://oncotarget.altmetric.com/details/email_updates?id=10.18632%2Foncotarget.28513 Subscribe for free publication alerts from Oncotarget - https://www.oncotarget.com/subscribe/ Keywords - cancer, polycystic ovary syndrome, endometrial cancer, transcriptomics, IGF1, in-silico About Oncotarget Oncotarget (a primarily oncology-focused, peer-reviewed, open access journal) aims to maximize research impact through insightful peer-review; eliminate borders between specialties by linking different fields of oncology, cancer research and biomedical sciences; and foster application of basic and clinical science.

Happy Spooky Wednesday to all of our favorite spooky friends! This week, Kala continues the Barry Taff discussion with the investigation story of the Doris Bither Case, better known as The Entity haunting. A young woman with four small kids, Doris Bither already had to handle the stress of getting by as a single mom, but that stress was amplified by a near-constant haunting in her Culver City home. Was this a poltergeist or telekinesis brought on by pressures of life as a woman in the 70s? And Brittany discusses (at minute 46) Ye Olde Salutation Inn in Nottingham, UK. Known as The Sal, this building is beautiful, really old, and haunted. The caves beneath the Inn leave us with burning questions such as: Why are Roman soldiers running through a basement? Is the little girl friends with the pirate? And why do they put “Ye Olde” on so many things in the UK?

After the release of their groundbreaking book, A Church Called Tov, which recorded the stories of abuse and toxic church cultures at some of the most prominent churches in the United States, New Testament scholar and blogger for Christianity Today Scot McKnight and Laura Barringer heard from a flood of people who had experienced similar instances of abuse. After all they've seen and heard, they still believe it's possible for church cultures to be transformed from toxic to tov—from oppressive to good.   In Pivot, Scot and Laura help churches to implement practices,establish priorities, and cultivate the Kingdom Gospel-centered qualities that form goodness cultures. Readers will find answers to the four most common questions people have about culture transformation: How can I transform the culture in my church or organization to make it tov?  I believe my workplace has unhealthy values. How do I initiate change? How do I unleash a culture of goodness in my ministry?  I'm not in a position of church leadership. What are some red flags that indicate a toxic culture, and what can I do if I see them? Pivot also includes the following practical features:  The “Tov tool,” a survey to help you discern your organization's culture and to promote spiritual conversations  A “getting to work” section at the end of each chapter with questions and next steps for application Transformation is never easy. But for the sake of the next generation, we must do it.   Scot McKnight (PhD, University of Nottingham) is a world-renowned speaker, writer, professor, and equipper of the Church. He is a recognized authority on the historical Jesus, early Christianity, and the New Testament. His books have been translated into Chinese, Korean, Russian, and Portuguese. He is the author of The Jesus Creed, The Blue Parakeet, The King Jesus Gospel, Revelation for the Rest of Us, numerous commentaries, and is now writing a sixteen-volume series of reflections called The Everyday Bible Study.

But as time went on, and as Brian watched tech grow into the disruptive behemoth it is today, he started to get more curious about the actual Luddites. Who were they? And what did they really believe? Brian has a new book out about the Luddites called Blood in the Machine.

While on hiatus, Enrique decided to take things into his ow hands to guarantee that DBB Inc, has never missed out on a week in their entire damn career! After declaring, Robert Pattison's The Batman is the best single Batman movie, he goes back and watches what people consider the definitive trilogy to decide once and for all, for himself of course. Movie Summary: The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan, who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan, and the story with David S. Goyer. Based on the DC Comics character Batman, it is the final installment in Nolan's The Dark Knight trilogy, and the sequel to The Dark Knight (2008). The film stars Christian Bale as Bruce Wayne / Batman, alongside Michael Caine, Gary Oldman, Anne Hathaway, Tom Hardy, Marion Cotillard, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Morgan Freeman. Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight, the terrorist Bane forces Bruce Wayne to resume his role as Batman and save Gotham City from nuclear destruction. Christopher Nolan was hesitant about returning to the series for a third film, but agreed after developing a story with his brother and Goyer that he felt would conclude the series on a satisfactory note. Nolan drew inspiration from Bane's comic book debut in the 1993 "Knightfall" storyline, the 1986 series The Dark Knight Returns, and the 1999 storyline "No Man's Land". Filming took place from May to November 2011 in locations including Jodhpur, London, Nottingham, Glasgow, Los Angeles, New York City, Newark, and Pittsburgh. Nolan used IMAX 70 mm film cameras for much of the filming, including the first six minutes of the film, to optimize the quality of the picture. A vehicle variation of the Batplane and Batcopter termed the "Bat", an underground prison set, and a new Batcave set were created specifically for the film. As with The Dark Knight, viral marketing campaigns began early during production. When filming concluded, Warner Bros. refocused its campaign, developing promotional websites, releasing the first six minutes of the film, screening theatrical trailers, and sending out information regarding the film's plot.

David Herbert Lawrence (Eastwood, Nottingham, 1885-Vence, Francia, 1930) fue uno de los escritores más controvertidos de la literatura británica del pasado siglo. Sus novelas fueron sistemáticamente prohibidas o censuradas. Es el autor de, entre otras, 'Hijos y amantes', 'Mujeres enamoradas', 'La serpiente emplumada' y de una gran obra poética, obras de teatro, ensayos y relatos como 'La Virgen y el gitano'. 'El amante de Lady Chatterley' se publicó en 1928 y es una novela extraordinariamente realista, lo que la hace perturbadora.

No os quepa duda: Este es el mayor reto en mi trayectoria como periodista. Nada menos que hacer un podcast de coches fúnebres… ¡con el “yuyu” que me da a mí todo esto! Pero es un reto que un miembro del canal me ha propuesto… y yo, por los miembros y seguidores del canal, estoy dispuesto a todo. Shillibeer´s Funeral Coaches. Decía mi madre que tiene que haber de todo en esta vida y por eso hay gente que se dedica al negocio funerario… desde luego yo no podría, pero esta gente hace falta. Y en un entierro, no lo olvidemos, hay que llevar un ataúd y suelen acudir familiares y amigos. En el Siglo XVI un británico tuvo una idea… el señor George Shillibeer inventó un vehículo, por supuesto tirado por caballos, en el que era posible transportar al difunto y además a los principales familiares. Creo la empresa Shillibeer´s Funeral Coaches y se dedicó, además de a enterrar a gente, a vender este tipo de carruajes… que se popularizó rápidamente… Por mucho que queramos a nuestros difuntos, enterrarlos dentro de las ciudades, muchas de ellas amuralladas, desde el punto de vista de la salud pública, no era una buena idea. Por eso, a partir del siglo XVIII más o menos, los cementerios se trasladaron a las afueras de las ciudades… Una costumbre que a día de hoy se mantiene. Esto fue un espaldarazo a los coches fúnebres, porque llevar al difunto sobre los hombros está bien un ratito, pero si hay que hacer decenas de kilómetros no es solución… Además, hay gente que quiere tener estilo, hasta después de fallecido… Sobre todo… los ingleses. A ver, que a los ingleses les fascinan los funerales no es una novedad. SI son de Estado, más. Quizás podríamos decir que esta costumbre arranca con el funeral del príncipe Alberto (1819-1861), esposo de la reina Victoria de Inglaterra, en la capilla de San Jorge del castillo de Windsor. Pero no hay que irse tan lejos: El de la Reina Isabel II fue en el Reino Unido un verdadero acto social desde muchos días antes con mucha pompa y mucho boato. Y, por cierto, este asunto del coche fúnebre fue importante… y polémico. Con la llegada del automóvil nacen los primeros coches fúnebres… aunque no fue exactamente así, pues en los comienzos del automóvil, las ambulancias eran los coches fúnebres… muy práctico, dos por uno. Luego se fueron especializando y sobre todo en América y Europa con un estilo muy sobrio, dominado por el uso de colores oscuros, especialmente el negro y el gris. En otras religiones van adornados con elementos propios de cada religión y hay algunos muy festivos. Os vamos a enseñar 10… Porque en este caso más que nunca, una imagen vale más que mil palabras. Aunque advierto que, en muchos casos, saber el modelo exacto que sirve de base, no es fácil. Cadillac Miller-Meteor Landau. El coche del “último viaje” de nada menos que Elvis Presley. Chevrolet Impala “Magalhaes”. Este Chevrolet Impala del 59, pintado en negro y dorado se hizo al gusto del diseñador de moda el portugués Joao Manuel Magalhaes. La “Funebreta”. ¿Quieres un coche clásico barato? Pues un coche fúnebre es una opción, no hacen muchos kilómetros y como coche de segunda mano su uso es muy restringido… Jaguar E “Harold and Maude”. Este es un coche, literalmente, de “película”. En la extraña película “Harold and Maude” de 1971, aparece este Jaguar E fúnebre. Jaguar XF. Otro Jaguar, el de la reina Isabel II, en un funeral que, a causa del coche fúnebre, no estuvo exento de polémica. Maserati Ghibli Vekal. Biemme Special Cars de Padova son expertos en estos coches… hay otra creación suya en este video. Nissan Leaf. Los hay que quieren presumir de gente rica y con clase incluso después de muerto, pero también los que quieren presumir de ecológicas… Rolls-Royce Phantom. El coche utilizado por el Duque de Edimburgo. Entro en servicio en 2014 y pertenece a la funeraria A.W. Lymn de Nottingham. Rouges’ Cadillac. Otro Cadillac más y otro coche de película. Este modelo aparece en la película “The Warriors” de 1979 una especie de distopia ambientada en una ciudad de NY Studebaker. Este coche pertenece a los Servicios Funerarios de Madrid y lo podéis ver, a los que les guste el asunto, en la colección de coches funerarios del cementerio de La Almudena, en Madrid. Conclusión. ¡Espero que os guste este vídeo! Porque me ha costado mucho hacerlo… Coche del día. ¡Un poco de alegría! ¡Os voy a sorprender! El coche del día el… redoble de tambores… ¡el VW Polo Arlequín! En su momento me pareció un disparate, pero hoy este coche alegre y lleno de colores, me ha venido muy bien… ¡quiero uno en nuestro garaje hermético!

PLEASE HELP: Russ Walks The Uk Anticlockwise Welcome to another episode of "Inspirational Journeys." In this episode, we're diving into the captivating life story of Russ Chittenden, a man whose journey has captured the hearts of many. Through his own words, Russ takes us on a remarkable expedition of his experiences and the lessons he's learned along the way. Russ begins his narrative by recounting his origins, having been born in Minster Hospital on the Isle of Sheppey. Although he holds no personal memories of the island, fate would soon guide his family's path towards new horizons. At the tender age of one or two, Russ and his family relocated to Nottingham, a move that marked the beginning of a transformative journey spanning 39 years. Growing up amidst the sprawling expanse of the University of Nottingham's 52-acre sports fields, Russ reminisces about his childhood adventures alongside his siblings. His father's role as head groundsman not only shaped their living situation but also instilled within him a strong connection to the outdoors and the freedom it represents. A house that once stood as their home is now etched into history as a tram line, a poignant reminder of the passage of time. With a chuckle, Russ shares the tale of his unconventional school routine, a "free range" existence reminiscent of unfettered chickens. The daily dinner call echoed through the fields at 5pm, drawing the Chittenden siblings back home like a flock. Russ reveals that even attending school required creative coaxing, including the occasional tractor ride to ensure his presence. Formal education may not have ignited his passion, but these anecdotes paint a vivid picture of a spirited young soul unbounded by convention. As he entered his teenage years, a new chapter unfolded with a move to Aylesbury. This transition, though unintentional, sparked a yearning for exploration and a desire to break free from confinement. This yearning was eventually answered through a bold career shift into the military, granting Russ the opportunity to explore distant lands. The Indian Ocean, the Malacca Straits, and the South China Sea became his maritime playground during a transformative two-year journey post-military service. Russ's versatility shines as he recounts his experiences in home construction, a skill honed before his military tenure. This skill not only left its mark on his native counties but carried him across continents. Stepping foot on African soil and engaging with diverse cultures worldwide, Russ's tale becomes a testament to the unquenchable thirst for discovery. The most poignant facet of Russ's journey comes to light as he reveals his motivations for an extraordinary coastal expedition. This quest, fueled by a desire for boundless existence, now takes on a dual purpose — to uplift fellow citizens who've faced adversity in service to their nation. Russ's heartwarming commitment to giving back underscores the depth of his character. In closing, Russ reflects on the life he's lived thus far, expressing a profound sense of fulfillment. His words resonate with the assurance that if his time were to end tomorrow, his life would be regarded as one richly lived. Interacting with his listeners, he expresses gratitude for the connections made and the shared experiences that make the United Kingdom truly special. With a touch of humor, Russ playfully anticipates his return home, knowing that the allure of the unknown will soon beckon him once more. As we wrap up this episode, we're reminded of the power of a life fully lived, a journey enriched by experiences, connections, and the unwavering pursuit of the next horizon. Thank you for joining us on "Inspirational Journeys." Be sure to tune in next time as we uncover more extraordinary stories of individuals who've embarked on paths less traveled, leaving behind trails of inspiration for us all.

Nail's first gigs as a DJ were at school, offering to save the school money instead of booking the local mobile disco. He played for free, spinning early house classics (and the odd Erasure remix). It's in his bones... He eventually started playing the clubs in his hometown of Nottingham in the early 90s, including sets at the legendary DiY events at places like The Marcus Garvey Centre. His first release came on the DiY comp Strictly 4 Groovers on WARP records in 1993, the now classic track Cassiopeia. The Beeston EP followed in 1994, the first of a number of EPs for DiY, as well as his debut album Big D's Lounge in 1996. A remix for Inner City was also a highlight of this busy mid 90s period. Nail has since had records and remixes with Classic, Robsoul and Mosaic among many more, including his own label 89:Ghost, started in 2014. After taking time out from house music to focus on Bent, with Simon Mills, he returned to DJing in mid 2010s, playing all over Europe at venues such as Fabric, Tresor and Metronome. He has new tracks coming out soon on labels such as Bid Musik, Groovphoria and Odour Recordings, and it's with great pleasure we welcome him into the SB guest mix series.

Metabolism is all about balance and moderation.  Every enzyme has a specific temperature range at which it's optimal.  When you activate inflammation constantly, there are bound to be adverse side effects.  [15:35] Life Is All About Challenges and Growth - Use Trial and Error To Find Your Sweet Spot  Life is all about giving yourself a challenge, adapting, learning, and growing. Next time you face the same challenge, you can tackle it in a much more efficient way.  It can be difficult to find the sweet spot when you are challenging yourself. Dr. Mansor uses a trial and error approach when it comes to knowing his sweet spot while exercising.  Your body will adapt. People want instant change; however, you need to give your body time to change.  [22:40] You Need To Train Your Body To Respond To Certain Conditions Effectively and Optimally  Metabolic inflexibility is your body's inability to switch from burning glucose to burning fat. When there is dysfunction, there is bound to be a deficiency, and there is bound to be wasted energy. Everyone thinks cortisol is the bad guy; however, you need cortisol to function.  The goal is not to shut down whatever is related to chronic disease. Instead, you want to train your body to respond to specific conditions effectively and optimally.  [30:20] Exogenous Ketones Are a Source of Energy and Can Help Lower Your Hunger Hormones Ketones are fuel for you to create energy.  There are still calories with exogenous ketones.  You won't lose weight if you have too many calories and are not exercising.  Ghrelin is the hunger hormone. Ketones can help lower that hunger hormone. [36:05] Exogenous Ketones Are Useful For Getting Back Into Ketosis  If you are following a ketogenic diet, you may not need exogenous ketones. However, do you have a hard time getting back into ketosis? If you fall out of ketosis, exogenous ketones can be a helpful way for you to get back into ketosis. Exogenous ketones are also a great tool to use before exercising.  [43:20] The Brain Doesn't Metabolize Glucose As Efficiently After A Traumatic Brain Injury  Dr. Mansor researched how ketones can be a therapeutic intervention to treat traumatic brain injury. Within 48 hours, studies show hypermetabolism of glucose after trauma.  Some researchers think the body wants glucose for energy to repair.  Ketones can help give the brain another option to produce energy.  For some reason, the brain doesn't metabolize glucose as efficiently after a traumatic brain injury.  [55:55] Ketone-IQ Is A Useful Biohack To Improve Your Sleep and Recover Faster  A dose of ketones after a workout and a dose of ketones before sleep can be helpful for recovery.  Plus, ketones before sleep can improve sleep quality.  Ketone-IQ has been proven to support energy, focus, and endurance. Do not take ketones more than half an hour before bed.  Instead, take ketones right before you go to sleep.  AND MUCH MORE!

Firefighters were called to a house fire in a small village, just north of Nottingham. They quickly extinguished the blaze but inside the house, tragically they found the body of mum of two, Jacqueline Bartlam. But Jacqueline had not succumbed to the flames or smoke inhalation, she had been brutally beaten and murdered before the house was set on fire. If that wasn't shocking enough, detectives soon realised that the person who had killed Jacqueline was her own 14 year old son, Daniel... Writing Credit: Megan Grant.
