Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a major public health concern. Animal models play a crucial role in understanding the disease pathology and development of effective treatment strategies. Chemically induced CRC represents a cornerstone in animal model development; however, due to the presence of different animal species with different genetic backgrounds, it becomes mandatory to study the susceptibility of different mice species to CRC induction by different chemical entities such as 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH).

Pressure Swing Distillation (PSD) is the only advanced technology that does not require the addition of third components to the system to enhance the separation of azeotropic mixtures. It outperforms homogeneous distillation for separating pressure-sensitive azeotropic mixtures. In this study, we aimed to separate methanol and toluene using the Non-Random Two-Liquid (NRTL) and Aspen Plus thermodynamic calculation models to simulate a binary homogeneous azeotropic system.

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is the third most prevalent cancer worldwide. While chemotherapy remains the standard treatment approach, natural products have emerged as a promising alternative. Among these, apigenin, a natural flavonoid, has garnered significant attention due to its pro-oxidant and antioxidant properties in various types of cancer.

Background: Comprehensive medication management for older adults requires specific knowledge and skills. Therefore, pharmacy curricula should include appropriate strategies to prepare students for care of this population. This scoping review aimed to identify how geriatric concepts, such as geriatric topics and competencies, are included in pharmacy curricula, and to map current literature on preferred teaching and assessment methods related to geriatric pharmacy education.

Background: microRNAs (miRNAs) are crucial regulators of various biological processes and molecular functions. Aberrant miRNA expression has been linked in many studies to neoplastic transformation. Among these miRNAs, dysregulation of miR-301b-5p was associated with different types of cancer including breast cancer.
