Article Synopsis
  • Captopril, widely used to treat various cardiovascular conditions, shows potential for bladder cancer patients with hypertension due to its interaction with relevant proteins associated with the disease.* -
  • The study identified key protein targets of captopril using Bioinformatics tools, revealing that it effectively inhibits overexpressed genes like MMP9 and LCN2, which are linked to poor survival rates in bladder cancer.* -
  • The research suggests further laboratory studies are needed to validate captopril's effectiveness in treating bladder cancer, highlighting its dual role in managing both hypertension and cancer-related complications.*

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is a highly contagious viral illness caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has had a catastrophic effect on the world's demographics, resulting in more than 3.8 million deaths worldwide and establishing itself as the most serious global health crisis since the 1918 influenza pandemic. Several questions remain unanswered regarding the effects of COVID-19 disease during pregnancy.

The initial metabolic reactions for anaerobic benzene biodegradation remain uncharacterized. Isotopic data for carbon and hydrogen fractionation from nitrate-reducing, sulfate-reducing, and methanogenic benzene-degrading enrichment cultures and phylogenic information were used to investigate the initial reaction step in anaerobic benzene biodegradation. Dual parameter plots of carbon and hydrogen isotopic data (deltadelta2H/ deltadelta13C) from each culture were linear, suggesting a consistent reaction mechanism as degradation proceeded.
