Resveratrol inhibited colorectal cancer progression by reducing oxidative DNA damage by targeting the JNK signaling pathway.

Recent evidence has proved that resveratrol as a natural polyphenol has great anti-cancer and anti-proliferative effects in cancer cells. In this study, we aimed to examine the protective effects of resveratrol in rats with 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH)-induced colorectal cancer and investigate the potential underlying molecular mechanisms. Male Wistar rats were classified into different groups, including Group 1 without any intervention, group 2 as resveratrol-received rats (8 mg/kg), Group 3 as DMH-received rats, and Group 4, as DMH and resveratrol-received rats.

Detection of CRISPR/Cas9-Mediated Fetal Hemoglobin Reactivation in Erythroblasts Derived from Cord Blood-Hematopoietic Stem Cells.

Reactivation of the fetal hemoglobin (HbF) in adult erythroid cells via genome editing is a strategy for the treatment of β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease. In related reports, the reactivation of HbF is regularly examined in erythroblasts which are generated from the adult CD34 hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs). However, the procurement of adult HSPCs, either from the bone-marrow (BM) or from mobilized peripheral-blood (mPB), is difficult.

Autophagy-targeted nanoparticles in breast carcinoma: A systematic review.

Breast cancer is a commonly known cancer type and the leading cause of cancer death among females. One of the unresolved problems in cancer treatment is the increased resistance of the tumor to existing treatments, which is a direct result of apoptotic defects. Calculating an alternative to cell death (autophagy) may be the ultimate solution to maximizing cancer cell death.

The Virtual Reality Technology Effects and Features in Cardiology Interventions Training: A Scoping Review.

Virtual Reality (VR) as an emerging and developing technology has received much attention in healthcare and trained different medical groups. Implementing specialized training in cardiac surgery is one of the riskiest and most sensitive issues related to clinical training. Studies have been conducted to train cardiac residents using this technology.

Evaluation of nine popular de novo assemblers in microbial genome assembly.

Next generation sequencing (NGS) technologies are revolutionizing biology, with Illumina being the most popular NGS platform. Short read assembly is a critical part of most genome studies using NGS. Hence, in this study, the performance of nine well-known assemblers was evaluated in the assembly of seven different microbial genomes.
