Exploring the Anti-Inflammatory and Antioxidative Potential of Selenium Nanoparticles Biosynthesized by Lactobacillus casei 393 on an Inflamed Caco-2 Cell Line.

Selenium (Se) plays a crucial role in modulating inflammation and oxidative stress within the human system. Biogenic selenium nanoparticles (SeNPs) synthesized by Lactobacillus casei (L. casei) exhibit anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, positioning them as a promising alternative to traditional supplements characterized by limited bioavailability.

Adjuvant therapy with zinc supplementation; anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative role in multiple myeloma patients receiving autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation: a randomized controlled clinical trial.

Multiple myeloma (MM) patients are often accompanied by heightened levels of oxidative stress, even following bone marrow transplantation. Trace mineral supplements have been found to regulate and inhibit the activity of oxidative radicals and inflammatory factors, which are involved in the pathogenesis of MM. The study sought to evaluate the effectiveness of the supplementation by analyzing changes in oxidative, anti-oxidative, and inflammation markers.

Ulcerative colitis: the healing power of macrophages.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a chronic and debilitating disorder that falls under the broad category of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Therefore, affects the colon and rectum, resulting in inflammation and ulcers in the lining of these organs. Over the years, there has been a significant shift in the management of UC.

Molecular mechanism of lncRNAs in pathogenesis and diagnosis of auto-immune diseases, with a special focus on lncRNA-based therapeutic approaches.

Autoimmune diseases are a diverse set of conditions defined by organ damage due to abnormal innate and acquired immune system responses. The pathophysiology of autoimmune disorders is exceedingly intricate and has yet to be fully understood. The study of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), non-protein-coding RNAs with at least 200 nucleotides in length, has gained significant attention due to the completion of the human genome project and the advancement of high-throughput genomic approaches.

Therapeutic effect of trace elements on multiple myeloma and mechanisms of cancer process.

In the human body, trace elements and other micronutrients play a vital role in growth, health and immune system function. The trace elements are Iron, Manganese, Copper, Iodine, Zinc, Cobalt, Fluoride, and Selenium. Estimating the serum levels of trace elements in hematologic malignancy patients can determine the severity of the tumor.

Molecular landscape of LncRNAs in bladder cancer: From drug resistance to novel LncRNA-based therapeutic strategies.

Bladder cancer (BC) is a common and serious type of cancer that ranks among the top ten most prevalent malignancies worldwide. Due to the high occurrence rate of BC, the aggressive nature of cancer cells, and their resistance to medication, managing this disease has become a growing challenge in clinical care. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of RNA transcripts that do not code for proteins and are more than 200 nucleotides in length.

Possible cancer-causing capacity of COVID-19: Is SARS-CoV-2 an oncogenic agent?

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has shown diverse life-threatening effects, most of which are considered short-term. In addition to its short-term effects, which has claimed many millions of lives since 2019, the long-term complications of this virus are still under investigation. Similar to many oncogenic viruses, it has been hypothesized that SARS-CoV-2 employs various strategies to cause cancer in different organs.

Role of microbiota short-chain fatty acids in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases.

There is emerging evidence that microbiota and its metabolites play an important role in helath and diseases. In this regard, gut microbiota has been found as a crucial component that influences immune responses as well as immune-related disorders such as autoimmune diseases. Gut bacterial dysbiosis has been shown to cause disease and altered microbiota metabolite synthesis, leading to immunological and metabolic dysregulation.
