Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) treatment using time-saving and cost-effective targeted therapies with high selectivity and low toxicity drugs, is a great challenge. In primary investigations on Gallocin, as the most proposed factor in CRC pathogenesis caused by , it was surprisingly found that this bacteriocin has four α-helix structures and some anti-cancer sequences.

Objective: The aim of this study was to determine the ability of Gallocin-based anticancer peptides (ACPs) against epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) and vascular epidermal growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and the evaluation of their pharmacokinetic properties using bioinformatic approaches.

Rapid eye movement behavior disorder (RBD) is a parasomnia characterized by the loss of skeletal muscle atonia during the rapid eye movement (REM) sleep phase. On the other hand, idiopathic RDB (iRBD) is considered the prelude of the various α-synucleinopathies, including Parkinson's disease (PD), dementia with Lewy bodies and multiple system atrophy. Consequently, over 40% of patients eventually develop PD.

Article Synopsis
  • Echinococcus granulosus has a complex life cycle that relies on specific transcription factors (TFs) and miRNAs to regulate gene expression during its development.
  • The study identified 394 unique TFs and 818 differentially expressed genes, leading to a network involving 8 specific miRNAs and 8 TFs that influence the parasite’s metabolic processes.
  • By validating TF expression through quantitative polymerase chain reaction, the research highlights potential targets for interrupting the parasite's development and controlling dog infections.

Background: Migraine is a chronic disease that affects nearly 6% of men and 18% of women worldwide. There are various drugs, which can successfully decrease migraine symptoms and frequency of migraine attacks, but these drugs usually are expensive. Hence, this study aimed to assess the effects of pyridoxine supplementation on severity, frequency and duration of migraine attacks as well as headache diary results (HDR).
