- Algae-derived natural compounds are promising for treating health issues like cancer, obesity, diabetes, and inflammation.
- Recent advancements in nanotechnology have led to the creation of targeted drug delivery systems and diagnostic tools utilizing these algae-derived compounds.
- The pigments in algae, such as chlorophylls and carotenoids, not only provide color but also offer significant nutritional and medicinal benefits, including promoting gut health by influencing gut microbiota.
Breast cancer (BC) is a malignant neoplasm which is classified into various types defined by underlying molecular factors such as estrogen receptor positive (ER+), progesterone receptor positive (PR+), human epidermal growth factor positive (HER2+) and triple negative (TNBC). Early detection of ER+ and TNBC is crucial in the choice of diagnosis and appropriate treatment strategy. Here we report the key genes associated to ER+ and TNBC using RNA-Seq analysis and machine learning models.

- - The study investigates levels of trace metals (TMs) and heavy/non-essential metals (HnMs) in popular beverages, stressing the importance of regular monitoring due to health concerns.
- - A total of ten metals were analyzed in both carbonated and non-carbonated brands, revealing the highest levels of zinc and manganese among TMs, while cadmium and lead were the most prevalent HnMs.
- - Despite finding metal concentrations, the calculated risk assessments (Hazard Index and Cumulative Cancer Risk) suggest low health risks associated with these metals in the beverages sampled.
