The global prevalence of Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH) has been rising sharply, closely mirroring the increasing rates of obesity and metabolic syndrome. MASH exhibits a strong sexual dimorphism where females are affected with more severe forms after menopause. Hexokinase domain-containing protein 1 (HKDC1) has recently been recognized for its role in liver diseases, where its expression is minimal under normal conditions but significantly increases in response to metabolic stressors like obesity and liver injury.

Article Synopsis
- Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a non-invasive cancer treatment that uses light and a natural component called photosensitizer, with hypericin from St. John's Wort showing promise for this purpose.
- Traditional production of hypericin is harmful to the environment and human health, prompting researchers to develop a more eco-friendly green synthesis method that uses fewer toxic chemicals.
- The study demonstrated that hypericin effectively induces cancer cell death in MCF7 breast cells through apoptosis and oxidative stress, highlighting its potential as a natural photosensitizer for future cancer therapies.
Seafood is abundant in high-quality protein, healthy fats (n-3 and n-6 PUFAs), minerals (calcium, magnesium, copper, selenium, and so on), and vitamin D. Functional compounds in seafood can protect against lifestyle-related diseases. Having had all the merits mentioned, it is also a highly putrefiable food item.

- * The degradation of SDS follows pseudo-first-order kinetics, and the operating cost for the process is approximately $0.23 per order of reaction.
- * Additionally, the process was found to reduce total organic carbon by nearly 58.7% in municipal wastewater and showed non-toxic results in a phytotoxicity test using Vigna radiata.
The development of biocompatible adsorbents is vital for environmental remediation to control and reduce pollution and waste accumulation in ecosystems. Biocompatible hydrogels represent an innovative class of materials that are primarily composed of polymer chain units forming their structural framework. They have a high affinity for water molecules.
