NKX6.3 modulation of mitotic dynamics and genomic stability in gastric carcinogenesis.

Background: Gastric cancer remains a significant global health challenge, characterized by poor prognosis and high mortality rates. Mitotic integrity and genomic stability are crucial in maintaining cellular homeostasis and preventing tumorigenesis. The transcription factor NKX6.

Effect of Drying and Microwave-Assisted Extraction Parameters on Variety Koseret Essential Oil Yield.

Research Background: Green extraction technologies, such as microwave-assisted extraction, have been used to replace conventional methods of isolating essential oils from plants. In this study, the essential oil was extracted from the variety koseret using the advanced method of microwave-assisted hydrodistillation. The main objective was to investigate the effect of irradiation time, microwave power and particle size on the yield and chemical composition of the essential oil extracted from leaves dried in an oven at 50 °C and room temperature.

Repurposing of Antiplatelet Agent: Cilostazol for the Treatment of Alcohol-Related Liver Disease.

Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is a serious global health concern, characterized by liver inflammation and progressive fibrosis. There are no Food and Drug Administration-approved drugs, thus effective treatments are needed. Severe alcoholic hepatitis (AH) is the most severe manifestation of ALD, with a 28-day mortality rate ranging from 20% to 50%.

The impact of depression on risk of malignant glioma: A nationwide cohort study.

Background: Malignant glioma (MG) is a malignant brain tumor with a fatal prognosis. Depression is on the rise in society, and its negative association on prognosis of glioma patients is known. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between depression and MG risk by analyzing data from the Korean National Health Insurance System (NHIS).

The diverse landscape of RNA modifications in cancer development and progression.

Background: RNA modifications, a central aspect of epitranscriptomics, add a regulatory layer to gene expression by modifying RNA function without altering nucleotide sequences. These modifications play vital roles across RNA species, influencing RNA stability, translation, and interaction dynamics, and are regulated by specific enzymes that add, remove, and interpret these chemical marks.

Objective: This review examines the role of aberrant RNA modifications in cancer progression, exploring their potential as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers and as therapeutic targets.
