Emerging therapeutic frontiers in prostate health: Novel molecular targets and classical pathways in comparison with BPH and prostate cancer.

Current therapeutic strategies for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and prostate cancer focus mainly on androgen receptors (AR) and 5-alpha reductase inhibition to suppress androgen-driven prostate growth. However, these methods often result in side effects and resistance. Recent research identifies novel targets like integrin and cadherin inhibitors, gene regulation, microRNAs, cellular senescence, and metabolomics pathways to overcome these limitations.

Microwave-assisted, sulfhydryl-modified β-cyclodextrin-silymarin inclusion complex: A diverse approach to improve oral drug bioavailability via enhanced mucoadhesion and permeation.

The current study aimed to generate a sulfhydryl-modified β-cyclodextrin-silymarin complex (sulfhydryl-modified β-CD-SMN complex) and to evaluate the enchantment in solubility, permeability, and bioavailability of a model BCS Class IV drug silymarin (SMN). For this purpose, sulfhydryl-modified β-CD was synthesized by replacing all primary and secondary -OH groups at the β-CD backbone with sulfhydryl groups via a novel microwave-assisted technique. Afterward, sulfhydryl-modified β-CD was complexed with silymarin and characterized by FTIR and H NMR spectroscopy.

Improving remote sensing scene classification using dung Beetle optimization with enhanced deep learning approach.

Remote sensing (RS) scene classification has received significant consideration because of its extensive use by the RS community. Scene classification in satellite images has widespread uses in remote surveillance, environmental observation, remote scene analysis, urban planning, and earth observations. Because of the immense benefits of the land scene classification task, various approaches have been presented recently for automatically classifying land scenes from remote sensing images (RSIs).
