Novel therapeutic approaches targeting cancer stem cells: Unveiling new frontiers in breast cancer treatment.

Breast cancer remains the leading cause of mortality among women with cancer. This article delves into the intricate relationship between breast cancer and cancer stem cells (CSCs), emphasizing advanced methods for their identification and isolation. The key isolation techniques, such as the mammosphere formation assay, surface marker identification, Side Population assay, and Aldehyde Dehydrogenase assay, are critically examined.

In Vitro Comparison of Polymerization Techniques on the Strength and Hardness of Denture Base Resins.

Purpose: Acrylic dentures fabricated using polymethyl methacrylate are subjected to either intraoral fatigue stress or extraoral impact stress, eventually forming microcracks and fractures. This limitation should be overcome by either modification in the acrylic resin material or in polymerization techniques. This study compares the impact strength and flexural strength of high-impact resin to conventional resin in short- and long-heat polymerization settings.

Knowledge, Attitude, and Practices Regarding Leprosy Among Nurses Employed at a Tertiary Healthcare Centre in Central India: An Epidemiological Study.

Introduction: Leprosy is a common infectious disease in India that can lead to nerve damage and disability. There is a dearth of knowledge regarding leprosy not only among the general public but also among healthcare workers. This knowledge gap leads to the generation of stigma and delay in the detection of new cases.

Evaluation of high temperature impacts and nanotechnology as a shield against temperature stress on tomatoes - A review.

Rising temperature due to changing climate significantly impacts the production of tomato. The morpho-physiological functions of tomato such as gas exchange, growth and development, flowering, fruit setting, quality, fruit size, weight that can influence the yield and production is drastically affected by higher temperatures. Among the growth stages of tomato, flowering and fruit setting stage is highly vulnerable to high temperature resulting in reduced flower numbers, increased flower abortion, stigma exertion, abnormal ovule, reduced pollen germination, pollen numbers, pollen tube development, pollen viability and increased male sterility.
