Design and fabrication of novel microfluidic-based droplets for drug screening on a chronic myeloid leukemia cell line.

Background: The challenges associated with traditional drug screening, such as high costs and long screening times, have led to an increase in the use of single-cell isolation technologies. Small sample volumes are required for high-throughput, cell-based assays to reduce assay costs and enable rapid sample processing. Using microfluidic chips, single-cell analysis can be conducted more effectively, requiring fewer reagents and maintaining biocompatibility.

Ganoderic acid a potential protective impact on bleomycin (BLM) -induced lung fibrosis in albino mice: Targeting caveolin 1/TGF-β/ Smad and P38MAPK signaling pathway.

Background: Bleomycin (BLM), an anticancer medication, can exacerbate pulmonary fibrosis by inducing oxidative stress and inflammation. Anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and antioxidant properties are exhibited by ganoderic acid A (GAA).

Aim: So, we aim to assess GAA's protective impact on lung fibrosis induced via BLM.

Evaluation of discrepancy between clot-based and chromogenic factor IX coagulation assays in non-severe hemophilia B patients and identification of the causing mutations.

Background: Hemophilia B, or Christmas disease, is a hemorrhagic inherited disorder. Previous studies have reported measurement discrepancies in factor VIII activity between clot-based and chromogenic assays in approximately one-third of patients with non-severe hemophilia A. However, similar discrepancies in hemophilia B have been less extensively studied.

From regulation to deregulation of p53 in hematologic malignancies: implications for diagnosis, prognosis and therapy.

The p53 protein, encoded by the TP53 gene, serves as a critical tumor suppressor, playing a vital role in maintaining genomic stability and regulating cellular responses to stress. Dysregulation of p53 is frequently observed in hematological malignancies, significantly impacting disease progression and patient outcomes. This review aims to examine the regulatory mechanisms of p53, the implications of TP53 mutations in various hematological cancers, and emerging therapeutic strategies targeting p53.

Enhancing Ultradeep Hydrodesulfurization of Coker Diesel through Adsorptive Predenitrogenation.

The petroleum refining industry places significant challenge in the production of ultralow-sulfur diesel (ULSD) from various middle distillates with high nitrogen concentration in an energy-efficient and cost-effective way to meet strict environmental regulations as coexisting nitrogen compounds significantly inhibit the ultradeep hydrodesulfurization (HDS). Among all of the approaches reported in the literature for this challenge, a combination of adsorptive denitrogenation (ADN) and HDS has attracted great attention. This study focuses on ultradeep HDS of coker diesel (CD) through a synergistic approach combining ADN over a carbon-based adsorbent and the current HDS process.
