In this study, we synthesized 12 monofunctional tridentate ONS-donor salicylaldimine ligand ()-based Ru(II) complexes with general formula [(Ru()(-cymene)]·Cl (-), characterized by H NMR, C NMR, UV, FT-IR spectroscopy, HR-ESI mass spectrometry, and single-crystal X-ray analysis showing ligand's orientation around the Ru(II) center. All 12 of these 12 complexes were tested for their anticancer activities in multiple cancer cells. The superior antitumor efficacy of , , and was demonstrated by reduced mitochondrial membrane potential, impaired proliferative capacity, and disrupted redox homeostasis, along with enhanced apoptosis through caspase-3 activation and downregulation of Bcl-2 expression.

Unlabelled: The study aims to investigate the clinicopathological significance of MRPL24 in human cancers, with a particular focus on breast cancer (BC). Comprehensive bioinformatics analyses were conducted using data from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) and various advanced database, including cBioPortal, UALCAN, TIMER, Prognoscan, TISIDB, KM Plotter, and The Human Protein Atlas, to provide a detailed evaluation of MRPL55's role in cancer. The findings were further validated through experimental studies.

Article Synopsis
  • Piperazine is a key component in many approved drugs, and this study developed eight new piperazine-based ligands (L1-L8) and their corresponding platinum (Pt(II)) complexes (C1-C8) for potential use in cancer treatment.
  • The structural analyses confirmed the successful creation of these complexes, and their anticancer effects were tested on pancreatic cancer cells (BxPC3, MIAPaCa-2, and PANC1), revealing C5, C6, and C8 to be particularly effective in inhibiting cell growth.
  • The study suggests that these complexes not only induce cancer cell death by promoting apoptosis but also enhance the effects of existing PARP inhibitors, pointing to their potential as new cancer therapies for

In search of potential anticancer agents, we synthesized SNO-donor salicylaldimine main ligand-based Pt(II) complexes bearing NH as co-ligand at trans-position (C1-C6). These complexes showed similarity in structure with transplatin as the two N donor atoms of the main ligand and NH co-ligand were coordinated to Pt in trans position to each other. Each complex with different substituents on the main ligand was characterized thoroughly by detailed spectroscopic and spectrophotometric methods.

F-box only protein 8 (FBXO8) is a recently identified member of the F-box proteins, showcasing its novelty in this protein family. Extensive research has established FBXO8's role as a tumor suppressor in various cancers, including hepatocellular carcinoma, and colorectal cancer, Nevertheless, its functional, mechanistic, and prognostic roles in primary and metastatic breast cancer, particularly in different molecular subtypes of breast cancer, various stages, as well as its potential implications in immunotherapy, tumor microenvironment, and prognostic survival among breast cancer patients, remain unexplored. In this article, we employed a multi-dimensional investigation leveraging TCGA, TIMER, TISIDB, STRING, MEXPRESS, UALCAN, and cBioPortal databases to explore the underlying suppression mechanism of FBXO8 in breast cancer.

Article Synopsis
  • Integrating zinc oxide nanoparticles into collagen can enhance antibacterial properties, but collagen's low zinc binding can interfere with effectiveness.
  • Researchers created a modified collagen-like protein, Zn-eCLP3, which binds zinc three times better than typical collagen, leading to improved performance in hydrogels.
  • Tests showed that the Zn-eCLP3 hydrogel not only exhibited superior antibacterial action but also promoted faster wound healing in animal models, suggesting its potential for wound repair applications.

Genetically encoded collagen-like protein-based hydrogels have demonstrated remarkable efficacy in promoting the healing process in diabetic patients. However, the current methods for preparing these hydrogels pose significant challenges due to harsh reaction conditions and the reliance on chemical crosslinkers. In this study, we present a genetically encoded approach that allows for the creation of protein hydrogels without the need for chemical additives.
