Restrictive migration policies and their impact on HIV prevention, care and treatment services.

Migration policies have a significant impact on population health, particularly for individuals living with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). These policies not only determine who is allowed to enter a country but also influence which immigrants can access services provided by the government. Some countries continue to impose restrictions on HIV-positive individuals, justifying these measures as necessary to protect public health and mitigate healthcare and economic concerns.

Phytochemicals and bioactive compounds effective against acute myeloid leukemia: A systematic review.

This systematic review identified various bioactive compounds which have the potential to serve as novel drugs or leads against acute myeloid leukemia. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a heterogeneous hematopoietic malignancy that arises from the dysregulation of cell differentiation, proliferation, and cell death. The risk factors associated with the onset of AML include long-term exposure to radiation and chemicals such as benzene, smoking, genetic disorders, blood disorders, advancement in age, and others.

Toxicity of Nanoparticles in Biomedical Application: Nanotoxicology.

Nanoparticles are of great importance in development and research because of their application in industries and biomedicine. The development of nanoparticles requires proper knowledge of their fabrication, interaction, release, distribution, target, compatibility, and functions. This review presents a comprehensive update on nanoparticles' toxic effects, the factors underlying their toxicity, and the mechanisms by which toxicity is induced.

Current Trends on Hemopoietic Stem Cells.

Advances in single-cell technology and genetic mouse models have resulted in the identification of new types of hemopoietic stem cells (HSC), resulting in baffling observations, suggesting a reconsideration of the long-held notion that all hematopoietic cells in the adult are derived from HSCs. The existence of long-lived HSC-independent hematopoiesis has led to the conclusion that despite the single hierarchical differentiation route that generates functional blood types, other differentiation routes exist in-vivo. Heterogeneity in the HSC population and the evolving knowledge around HSC has translated to it's improved application as a therapeutic tool for various blood disorders.
