Enhanced anti-tumor efficacy of S3I-201 in breast cancer mouse model through Wharton jelly- exosome.

Objective: Exosomes, membrane-enveloped vesicles found in various cell types, including Wharton's jelly mesenchymal stem cells, play a crucial role in intercellular communication and regulation. Their use as a cell-free nanotechnology and drug delivery system has attracted attention. Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a major global health problem and is characterized by a high mortality rate.

"Decoding inflammation: glycoprotein a repetition predominant, microRNA-142-3-p, and metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1: as novel inflammatory biomarkers of inflammatory bowel disease".

Background: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic gastrointestinal (GI) condition comprising Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC). The pathogenesis involves immune system dysregulation, with increased Th (T helper cell)17 cells and reduced regulatory T cell (Treg) differentiation. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) secretion from Tregs helps control inflammation, and its production is regulated by glycoprotein-A repetition predominant (GARP) protein along with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) like microRNA(miR)-142-3p and metastasis associated lung adenocarcinoma transcript 1 (MALAT1) long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs).

Synthesis of chemically cross-linked hydrogel films based on basil seed (Ocimum basilicum L.) mucilage for wound dressing drug delivery applications.

The present study aims toward the preparation of pH-sensitive hydrogel films based on basil seed mucilage (OBM) biopolymer as a novel drug delivery system for wound dressing. Various contents of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), glutaraldehyde (GA) as cross-linker, and glycerol as a plasticizer were incorporated to have an optimal combination of softness and resilience. OBM hydrogel films characterized by FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), morphological analysis by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and their physical properties were discussed on the reportage of the results of several tests: rheology, mechanical tests (stress at maximum load and Young's modulus), O permeability and water vapor permeability, gel fraction, water retention capacity and swelling degree measurements.
