GC-MS Analysis, Neuropharmacological, and Antidiarrheal Activities of the Acetone Extract of Najas gracillima Seaweed: In Vivo and In Silico Study.

Najas gracillima, a marine seaweed found in North America and Asia, was investigated for its neuropharmacological and antidiarrheal properties. Acetone extracts of N. gracillima (ANG) were analyzed using both in vivo and in silico methods.

Inhibition of microRNA-660-5p decreases breast cancer progression through direct targeting of TMEM41B.

Background: Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women worldwide. Most breast cancer-related deaths result from metastasis and drug resistance. Novel therapies are imperative for targeting metastatic and drug-resistant breast cancer cells.

Novel anticancer drug discovery strategies targeting hypoxia-inducible factors.

Introduction: Hypoxia is a key feature of solid tumors, associated with aggressive behaviors such as radiation and chemotherapy resistance, increased metastasis, and poor prognosis. Hypoxia-inducible factors (HIFs) are essential transcription factors that help tumor cells adapt to hypoxic environments by promoting the expression of pro-oncogenic genes. Reducing HIF activity presents a promising strategy for advancing cancer treatment.

Dieulafoy lesion with rare vascular complications: diagnostic and therapeutic approach.

Dieulafoy lesions are a rare cause of gastrointestinal bleeding, characterized by an enlarged submucosal blood vessel that bleeds without visible abnormalities. The diagnosis is typically made via endoscopy, and treatment usually involves endoscopic therapy. This case involves a 46-year-old female who presented with upper gastrointestinal bleeding due to a Dieulafoy's lesion, treated with band ligation and later embolization after the lesion was found to originate from the left phrenic artery.
