The Genetic and Molecular Drivers of Multiple Myeloma: Current Insights, Clinical Implications, and the Path Forward.

Background: Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by the clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells within the bone marrow. The disease's complexity is underpinned by a variety of genetic and molecular abnormalities that drive its progression.

Methods: This review was conducted through a state-of-The-art literature search, primarily utilizing PubMed to gather peer-reviewed articles.

In vivo hyperphosphorylation of tau is associated with synaptic loss and behavioral abnormalities in the absence of tau seeds.

Tau pathology is a hallmark of several neurodegenerative diseases, including frontotemporal dementia and Alzheimer's disease. However, the sequence of events and the form of tau that confers toxicity are still unclear, due in large part to the lack of physiological models of tauopathy initiation and progression in which to test hypotheses. We have developed a series of targeted mice expressing frontotemporal-dementia-causing mutations in the humanized MAPT gene to investigate the earliest stages of tauopathy.

pH induced structural and conformational changes in nucleocapsid protein leads to intermediate like conformation: a biophysical and computational approach.

Nucleocapsid protein (N) of SARS-CoV-2 is a multivalent protein, which is responsible for viral replication, assembly, packaging and modulates host immune response. In this study, we report conformational measurements of N protein at different pH by observing transition in secondary and tertiary structural contents by biophysical and computational approaches. Spectroscopic measurements revealed that N protein loses its secondary and tertiary structure at extreme acidic pH while maintaining its native conformation at mild acidic and alkaline pH.

Development and performance evaluation of a Bengali-adapted mHealth app for early detection of impaired visual acuity.

This paper presents a comprehensive study on the development and performance evaluation of "," a mobile health (mHealth) app designed to facilitate eye screening for impaired visual acuity (VA) in Bangladesh. Recognizing the critical importance of vision and the challenges posed by visual impairments, particularly in low-resource settings, this study explores an innovative solution to enhance eye care accessibility. The app, developed for Android devices, integrates features such as VA testing using adapted Bengali letters, color blindness tests, and eye health education, aiming to make eye care more user-friendly and accessible.

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of 8-Prenyldaidzein: A Comprehensive Study of its Multi-Target Efficacy in Alzheimer's Disease.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is marked by cognitive decline, amyloid plaques, neurofibrillary tangles, and cholinergic loss. Due to the limited success of amyloid-targeted therapies, attention has shifted to new non-amyloid targets like phosphodiesterases (PDE). This study investigates the potential of Flemingia vestita (FV) phytomolecules and derivatives, particularly 8-Prenyldaidzein, in AD treatment.
