Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how cancer cells influence the fitness of surrounding tumor microenvironment (TME) cells through a mechanism involving a long non-coding RNA called Tu-Stroma, which alters the expression of Flower isoforms, impacting their growth advantage.
  • The expression of Flower Win isoforms in cancer cells enhances their dominance over TME cells that express Flower Lose isoforms, leading to reduced fitness in the TME.
  • Targeting Flower proteins with a humanized monoclonal antibody in mice has shown promising results, significantly reducing cancer growth and metastasis while improving survival rates and protecting organs from potential lesions.

Leishmaniasis is a parasitic disease caused by various species of the Leishmania parasite, manifesting in visceral (VL), cutaneous (CL), and mucocutaneous (MCL) forms. To combat this debilitating disease, various vaccines candidates including proteins, DNA, vectors, adjuvants, and recombinant whole parasites have been developed and tested experimentally and preclinically against several Leishmania species. Some vaccines have already entered human clinical trials.

Introduction: Mouth rinse is a highly effective chemical solution for managing plaque and gingivitis. This study evaluated and compared the efficacy of chitosan (CH)-rich mouthwash with standard chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwash in reducing gingivitis, plaque, halitosis, and stains.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective, observational study was conducted on the clinical case records of 60 patients who were treated with CH mouthwash (formulated and dispensed from the department) as group 1 and CHX mouthwash as group 2 for at least three months.
