Examining sleep health and its associations with technology use among older adults in Sweden: insights from a population-based study by Sarah Nauman Ghazi, Anders Behrens, Johan Sanmartin Berglund, Jessica Berner, Peter Anderberg

“…DSP was found to be a predictor of better satisfaction (OR: 1.32, $$p= 0.009$$ ), efficiency (OR: 1.16, $$p=0.026$$ ), and duration of sleep (OR:1.16, $$p= 0.042$$ ). Lower TA predicted better satisfaction (OR: 0.81, $$p=0.04$$ ), timing (OR: 0.74, $$p=0.04$$ ), and efficiency (OR:0.78, $$p=0.01$$ ) of sleep. …”

Lactylation-mediated miRNA regulation in cancer therapy resistance by Yiyi Shou, Ruiqi Liu, Hao Xiong, Xiaoyan Chen, Luanluan Huang, Ran Huang, Hailong Sheng, Haibo Zhang, Yanwei Lu, Haiwei Guo

“…Based on these converging mechanisms, we highlight potential therapeutic strategies, including the co-targeting of LDHA and oncogenic miRNAs (e.g., nanoparticle-mediated delivery of anti-miR-21), as well as liquid biopsy-based monitoring of circulating H3K18la and miRNA signatures to predict emerging resistance. By integrating metabolic, epigenetic, and immunologic perspectives, we position lactylation-miRNA crosstalk as a central regulatory axis in cancer therapy resistance and offer a conceptual framework to inform the development of future mechanism-driven interventions.…”
