A bimetallic organic framework (CuNi-MOF) was synthesized as a corrosion inhibitor using the solvothermal method. The effectiveness of the inhibitor in corrosion prevention of AISI 304 and 316 in 1N hydrochloric acid solution at room temperature was evaluated using weight loss measurements, electrochemical methods, and surface characterization techniques. The formation of CuNi-MOF protective layer on the stainless-steel surface was confirmed through Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopes (FESEM), Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis.

Dengue flavivirus (DENV) is the virus that causes dengue, one of the most dangerous and common viral diseases in humans that are carried by mosquitoes and can lead to fatalities. Every year, there are over 400 million cases of dengue fever worldwide, and 22,000 fatalities. It has been documented in tropical and subtropical climates in over 100 nations.

Background: Lung cancer remains a significant health concern, and the effectiveness of early detection significantly enhances patient survival rates. Identifying lung tumors with high precision is a challenge due to the complex nature of tumor structures and the surrounding lung tissues.

Methods: To address these hurdles, this paper presents an innovative three-step approach that leverages Generative Adversarial Networks (GAN), Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM), and VGG16 algorithms for the accurate reconstruction of three-dimensional (3D) lung tumor images.

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a sudden onset of renal injury that occurs within a few hours or days. Ischemia-reperfusion (IR) is a major cause of AKI. There are multiple dysregulated mechanisms behind the pathogenesis of AKI and IR which urges the need for finding multi-targeting therapies.

Article Synopsis
  • Neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) are complex disorders of the nervous system, and their causes remain largely unclear, making it difficult to create accurate disease models.
  • Traditional methods like in vitro and animal models often fail to replicate human disease characteristics, but organoid technology offers a promising alternative by better mimicking the human nervous system.
  • This review highlights advancements in neural organoid technology, emphasizing the value of patient-derived organoids in studying NDs and their potential to improve clinical trial design and personalized therapies.
