New SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern (VOCs) and waning immunity illustrate that quick and easy-to-use agents are needed to prevent infection. To protect from viral transmission and subsequent inflammatory reactions, we applied GlyperA™, a novel antimicrobial formulation that can be used as mouth gargling solution or as nasal spray, to highly differentiated human airway epithelia prior infection with Omicron VOCs BA.1 and BA.

- Novel drug discoveries are changing how hematological malignancies like multiple myeloma (MM) are treated, but MM remains incurable, highlighting the need for new therapies.
- Research has shown that abnormal pre-mRNA splicing is common in MM, and this study focuses on identifying these disease-specific changes and suggests RNA-based therapies to address them.
- A specific example examined is the abnormal splicing of the HMMR gene, where researchers found variations linked to splicing issues and proposed therapies to selectively target this abnormality, which could also be useful for other cancers.
Desomorphine is a composite of the self-made illicit drug "krokodil", which is popular in Eastern Europe and other parts of the world. It causes toxic damage of different organs including bones.

The study intends to historically contextualize public health education and science development in former Soviet Republics. It attempts to document achievements after gaining independence and identify remaining challenges that need to be addressed for advancing public health science and education in Former Soviet Union countries to better prepare them for future pandemics and address current health challenges of the nations.
