The Role of Polyphenols in Abiotic Stress Tolerance and Their Antioxidant Properties to Scavenge Reactive Oxygen Species and Free Radicals.

Plants have evolved complex mechanisms to cope with diverse abiotic stresses, with the phenylpropanoid pathway playing a central role in stress adaptation. This pathway produces an array of secondary metabolites, particularly polyphenols, which serve multiple functions in plant growth, development, regulating cellular processes, and stress responses. Recent advances in understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying phenylpropanoid metabolism have revealed complex regulatory networks involving MYB transcription factors as master regulators and their interactions with stress signaling pathways.

B cell translocation gene 2 expression levels in human granulosa cells is negatively associated with in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection outcomes: a pilot study.

Purpose: This study aimed to monitor the expression of B-cell translocation gene 2 (BTG2) in granulosa cells of patients undergoing IVF/ICSI with respect blastocyst quality outcomes.

Methods: We recruited 181 women undergoing IVF/ICSI cycles for infertility. Granulosa cells were extracted from follicular fluid.

A single-centre retrospective evaluation of potential drug-drug interactions in breast cancer patients undergoing CDK 4/6 inhibitors chemotherapy.

Introduction: The utilization of CDK4/6 inhibitors has led to compromised survival rates for breast cancer patients. Consequently, certain treatment aspects, involving adherence and drug-to-drug interactions, are gaining prominence. To develop chemotherapy regimens that are both effective and efficient, our main objective was to thoroughly characterize the drug-drug interactions that occur between cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors and concurrently prescribed medications in hospitalized breast cancer patients.

Utility of serum biomarkers in real-world practice for predicting response to omalizumab therapy in patients with chronic spontaneous urticaria.

Background: Omalizumab (OMA), a recombinant humanized IgG monoclonal anti-IgE antibody, is approved for treatment for chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) refractory to second-generation H-antihistamine (SGAH) therapy. However, currently, there are no validated serum biomarkers to reliably predict response to OMA treatment.

Objective: We explored the real-world clinical utility of using serum biomarkers for predicting response to OMA for CSU patients with disease refractory to high-dose SGAH therapy.

LC-MS/MS-based metabolomic study provides insights into altitude-dependent variations in flavonoid profiles of strawberries.

Environmental conditions significantly influence the metabolic composition and quality attributes of fruits. This study investigated the impact of altitude-associated environmental variation on flavonoid profiles and fruit quality parameters by comparing the "Red Face" strawberry variety grown in two distinct locations: high-altitude-associated environmental conditions in Zhaotong and low-altitude conditions in Dandong. Using LC-MS/MS analysis, we identified 163 bioactive flavonoids, comprising 85 flavonols, 37 flavanones, 33 flavones, and 8 flavanonols.
