Circulating microRNAs and alcohol consumption in the Multiethnic Cohort Study.

Excessive alcohol consumption is a significant public health concern and contributes to liver diseases and cancer. Modifiable lifestyle factors including alcohol consumption can influence circulating microRNAs (miRNAs), which are increasingly used as biomarkers for early disease detection. Yet limited studies have identified miRNAs associated with alcohol intake, particularly in multiethnic populations.

Nanomaterials and clinical SERS technology: broad applications in disease diagnosis.

The critical need for rapid cancer diagnosis and related illnesses is growing alongside the current healthcare challenges, unfavorable prognosis, and constraints in diagnostic timing. As a result, emphasis on surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) diagnostic methods, including both label-free and labelled approaches, holds significant promise in fields such as analytical chemistry, biomedical science, and physics, due to the user-friendly nature of SERS. Over time, the SERS detection sensitivity and specificity with nanostructured materials for SERS applications (NMs-SERS) in different media have been remarkable.

Electronic cigarettes for smoking cessation.

Background: Electronic cigarettes (ECs) are handheld electronic vaping devices that produce an aerosol by heating an e-liquid. People who smoke, healthcare providers, and regulators want to know if ECs can help people quit smoking, and if they are safe to use for this purpose. This is a review update conducted as part of a living systematic review.

Evaluation of the safety and immune protection of OMPAC, PAPF, and EBPSs recombinant subunit vaccines Developed for Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus agalactiae in mice.

Bacterial mastitis in dairy cow is often caused by a combination of bacterial infections, such as Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Streptococcus agalactiae. Currently, there is no effective vaccine against the disease. Therefore, we constructed a recombinant subunit vaccine by fusing gene fragments of E.

DDO1002, an NRF2-KEAP1 inhibitor, improves hematopoietic stem cell aging and stress response.

Oxidative stress diminishes the functionality of hematopoietic stem cells (HSCs) as age advances, with heightened reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels exacerbating DNA damage, cellular senescence, and hematopoietic impairment. DDO1002, a potent inhibitor of the NRF2-KEAP1 pathway, modulates the expression of antioxidant genes. Yet, the extent to which it mitigates hematopoietic decline post-total body irradiation (TBI) or in the context of aging remains to be elucidated.
