Engineering of a bilayer antibacterial wound dressing from bovine pericardium and electrospun chitosan/PVA/antibiotics for infectious skin wounds management: An in vitro and in vivo study.

Tissue deterioration and post-injury infections are the primary cause of skin diseases. Tissue engineering has developed various synthetic and natural polymers to generate bioactive scaffolds that can closely replicate the natural extracellular matrix (ECM). Decellularized tissues have emerged as a potential solution for reconstructing cutaneous lesions due to their ability to preserve the intricate protein structure and provide essential functional domains for cellular differentiation.

Identification of miR-20a as a Diagnostic and Prognostic Biomarker in Colorectal Cancer: MicroRNA Sequencing and Machine Learning Analysis.

Introduction: The differential expression of miRNAs, a key regulator in many cell signaling pathways, has been studied in various malignancies and may have an important role in cancer progression, including colorectal cancer (CRC).

Method: The present study used machine learning and gene interaction study tools to explore the prognostic and diagnostic value of miRNAs in CRC. Integrative analysis of 353 CRC samples and normal tissue data was obtained from the TCGA database and further analyzed by R packages to define the deferentially expressed miRNAs (DEMs).

Green and sustainable strategies to control scaling in industrial plants: investigation of the efficacy of L. Extract against CaCO scale using experimental and theoretical approaches.

In recent years, plant extracts have attracted increased interest as green alternatives to conventional anti-scaling. This is because they contain a wide range of bioactive compounds with high performance against inorganic scale. Additionally, they are biodegradable and pose minimal risks to human health and ecosystems.

An efficient one-pot and simple multicomponent approach to the synthesis of highly functionalized furans containing dialkyl phenol.

In this study, arylglyoxals, acetylacetone, and 2,6-dimethyl phenol or 2,6-di-tert-butyl phenol are combined to efficiently synthesize a series of 1-(4-(3,5-dialkylphenyl)-2-methyl-5-phenylfuran-3-yl) ethan-1-one derivatives in excellent yields. These reactions were carried out in acetone at reflux under catalyst-free conditions in the presence of triethylamine as a base for 3 h. NMR, FT-IR, EI-MS, and elemental studies were used to characterize the products' structural characteristics.

The prognostic, diagnostic, and therapeutic impact of Long noncoding RNAs in gastric cancer.

Gastric cancer (GC), ranking as the third deadliest cancer globally, faces challenges of late diagnosis and limited treatment efficacy. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) emerge as valuable treasured targets for cancer prognosis, diagnosis, and therapy, given their high specificity, convenient non-invasive detection in body fluids, and crucial roles in diverse physiological and pathological processes. Research indicates the significant involvement of lncRNAs in various aspects of GC pathogenesis, including initiation, metastasis, and recurrence, underscoring their potential as novel diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers, as well as therapeutic targets for GC.
