The linker histone H1 C-terminal domain (CTD) plays a pivotal role in chromatin condensation. De novo frameshift mutations within the CTD coding region of H1.4 have recently been reported to be associated with Rahman syndrome, a neurological disease that causes intellectual disability and overgrowth.

Doxorubicin hydrochloride (Dox-HCl) is a widely used chemotherapy drug for HCC, but efficacy and tolerability are limited, thus critical to develop delivery systems that can target Dox-HCl to the tumour site. In this study, liver-targeting ligand glycyrrhetinic acid (Gly) was conjugated to polyethylene glycol (PEG) Steglich reaction and incorporated in liposomes, which were then loaded with Dox-HCl by pH gradient method.

Patients And Methods: A total of 138 BCR-ABL-negative MPN patients with TEE, diagnosed from January 2010 to December 2019, were included in this retrospective cohort. Patients were compared according to mortality and subjects were classified into three groups with respect to having suffered index TEE before, during, or after MPN diagnosis.
Introduction: Psoriasis is a common skin disorder associated with physical and psychological burdens. Visible disfiguration can trigger a negative reaction which can cause much of the readily measurable psychological burden of the disease. Although many biological treatments provide some success in the initial clearance of lesions, there is a dispute about the long-term maintenance of the disease, as no current biological treatment has been shown to be curative.

Self- Emulsifying Drug Delivery System is a novel approach to improve water solubility and, ultimately bioavailability of drugs.
Objective: This study aimed to develop and characterize new domperidone-loaded self-emulsifying drug delivery systems as an alternative formulation and to evaluate the permeability of domperidone-loaded self-emulsifying drug delivery systems by using Caco-2 cells and single-pass intestinal perfusion method.
