Chlamydia psittaci is an obligate intracellular pathogen that poses a significant threat to both human and animal health. The current therapeutic strategies are limited by the emergence of potential drug resistance, unde...

We evaluated the effect of carbendazim on non-target organisms using the parasite Chordodes nobilii as a test organism. The Gordiida act as a link between freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems; and C. nobilii, a neotropi...

Probiotics, defined as live microorganisms that, when administered in adequate amounts, confer a health benefit on the host, are considered a valid and novel alternative for the prevention and treatment of female urogeni...

Introduction and aims: Submucous cleft palate (SMCP) is a congenital craniofacial malformation. While TBX22 is a known pathogenic gene, the potential role of TBX15 in SMCP remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate...

Hexachlorobenzene (HCB) is a widespread environmental pollutant and a dioxin-like compound that binds weakly to the aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AhR). Because AhR and transforming growth factor β1 (TGF-β1) converge to re...

Background: Environmental contamination with nickel is increasing due to the discharge of industrial effluents and other anthropogenic activities. Therefore, the improvement of methods for monitoring nickel concentration...

Abstract Background Weyers acrofacial dysostosis (WAD) is a rare autosomal dominant ciliopathy caused by heterozygous pathogenic variants in the EVC2 gene. The classic phenotype includes short stature, dental anomalies, ...

Yellow fever (YF) is an epidemic disease caused by the yellow fever virus (YFV). Historically, it has caused several epidemics and continues to result in fatalities in South Sudan and other regions today. Due to its limi...

Abstract Background Awareness of exocrine pancreatic insufficiency (EPI) in cats has increased since the development of an assay for feline trypsin‐like immunoreactivity (fTLI). Ultrasound findings in cats with EPI hav...

The enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) is pivotal in reproductive processes, particularly in placental and vascular development. This study investigated the role of HO-1 and its byproduct, carbon monoxide (CO), in trophoblas...

ntroducción: Últimas investigaciones en la biología celular y molecular del oído interno han aportado evidencias que apoyan nuevas modalidades terapéuticas en medicina regenerativa para restablecer la audición. Rec...

Abstract Background The efficacy of conventional αβ T cell-based immunotherapies is often limited by tumor immune evasion. γδ T cells can bypass these limitations through MHC-independent tumor recognition, but their ...

Abstract Peptides with bioactive effects are being researched for various purposes. However, there is a lack of overall research on pork-derived peptides. In this study, we reviewed the process of obtaining bioactive pep...

Abstract Purpose This study aims to investigate the mechanisms underlying ANXA1 and HMGB1-regulated autophagy in relation to growth and radioresistance in thyroid cancer cells. This exploration seeks to provide new theor...

Breast cancer is a major public health problem worldwide, leading to an urgent need for the development of new strategies to improve treatment efficacy and manage drug resistance. Doxorubicin is among the most commonly u...

Chemical composition, antimicrobial and cytotoxic activities of commercial essential oils’ samples from the aerial plant parts of H. officinalis, R. officinalis and S. officinalis were investigated. Analyses by GC-FID ...

IntroductionThe emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria, particularly vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), represents a critical threat to global public health. Therefore, the development of novel therapeutic strate...

Abstract Inorganic nanoparticles and bee venom are emerging anticancer agents with potential for tumor‑selective cytotoxicity and immune modulation. This study aimed to compare the anticancer activity of three inorgani...

The parenteral administration of antivenoms is the cornerstone of snakebite envenoming therapy. Efforts are made to ensure that antivenoms of adequate efficacy and safety are available world-wide. We address the main iss...

BackgroundThe methylation status of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) shows promise for the clinical detection of cervical cancer and its precursors; however, its measurement in liquid biopsies is hindered by low cfDNA yields and te...

Abstract Ovarian cancer is one of the deadliest gynecological malignancies, mainly because of its silent development and the lack of effective conventional methods for diagnosis. Because of their extraordinary stabilit...
