Natural compounds such as thymoquinone (TQ) have recently gained increasing attention in treating glioblastoma (GBM). However, the effects of TQ in reversing drug resistance are not completely understood. Therefore, we aimed to examine TQ impacts on GBM cells with doxorubicin (DOX) resistance and the involvement of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway.

Article Synopsis
  • - Chikungunya virus (CHIKV) is a mosquito-borne illness causing both acute and chronic pain, with millions of cases reported since 2004, particularly in the Indian Ocean and spreading to Europe, the Middle East, and the Pacific, highlighting the need for better diagnosis and control strategies.
  • - Current diagnostic methods rely on detecting CHIKV or viral RNA in blood samples but lack reliable commercially available tests, which is especially important in developing countries where a cost-effective and efficient solution is needed.
  • - Biosensors, particularly various types of nano-biosensors enhanced with nanomaterials like gold and silver nanoparticles, show promise for rapid and sensitive CHIKV detection, making them suitable for use in hospitals and clinics as

Article Synopsis
  • NPC1, a protein involved in cholesterol transport, serves as an important receptor for various viruses, including filoviruses and hepatitis viruses, and is essential for cholesterol balance in cells.
  • Targeting NPC1 with specific inhibitors shows promise as a therapeutic strategy to combat viral infections, highlighting its dual role in both facilitating viral entry and maintaining cellular cholesterol homeostasis.
