🎤 Special Interview with Frontiers in Bioscience-Landmark Author Dr. Gabriel Žoldák: 🦠 Exploring Microbial Load and New Directions in Gut Microbiome Research

👉Interview details: https://t.co/GoxWmnaQZN

📖 Recently, Dr. Gabriel Žoldák and his team published a commentary article in FBL entitled “Gut Microbial Load as a Hidden Driver of Microbiome Diversity and Function” (Volume 30, Issue 8, 2025).

🔬 In this article, the authors provide an in-depth analysis of the study by Nishijima et al. published in Cell, highlighting the critical importance of absolute microbial abundance in microbiome research and its potential implications for clinical translation.

🔎 To further explore the story behind this research, its innovative significance, and future directions, we interviewed Dr. Gabriel Žoldák's team.

✨ SB431542, a Selective Inhibitor of the TGF-β Type I Receptor, Enhances Doxorubicin Antitumor Activity via p63 Activation in Mutant p53 Breast Cancer Cells—Video interpretation by Bi-He Cai

🔗 Find more details: https://t.co/JEpQcIGYs1

👨‍🔬 Yu-Ling Kou, Yu-Jie Liu, and colleagues have published their article in Volume 30, Issue 12 of Frontiers in Bioscience–Landmark (FBL) (https://t.co/GDW5iV08dA).

🏥 We are honored to invite one of the corresponding authors, Dr. Bi-He Cai, to provide his expert interpretation of the article. Dr. Bi-He Cai is an Associate Professor in the School of Medicine at I-Shou University, Kaohsiung, Taiwan. 🔬 He leads the p53 Family Laboratory in Taiwan, where his research focuses on the roles of p53 family proteins in cancer progression and therapeutic resistance, aiming to identify novel targets for improved cancer therapy.

💉 In this study, we focused on breast cancer cells carrying TP53 mutations, which are more difficult to treat because mutated TP53 reduces the effectiveness of chemotherapy drugs such as doxorubicin. We asked whether blocking the TGF-β signal pathway could improve the chemotherapy response in these resistant cancer cells, using SB431542, a selective inhibitor of the TGF-β type I receptor.
