Repurposing of neprilysin inhibitor 'sacubitrilat' as an anti-cancer drug by modulating epigenetic and apoptotic regulators.

Modifications in the epigenetic landscape have been considered a hallmark of cancer. Histone deacetylation is one of the crucial epigenetic modulations associated with the aggressive progression of various cancer subtypes. Herein, we have repurposed the neprilysin inhibitor sacubitrilat as a potent anticancer agent using in-silico protein-ligand interaction profiler (PLIP) analysis, molecular docking, and in vitro studies.

Bioconcrete-Enabled Resilient Construction: a Review.

Concrete, the ubiquitous cementitious composite though immensely versatile, is crack-susceptible. Cracks let in deleterious substances causing durability issues. Superseding conventional crack-repair methods, the innovative application of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICCP) stands prominent, being based on the natural phenomenon of carbonate precipitation.
