Skeletal muscle tissue can regenerate after damage through the action of satellite cells, which proliferate as myoblasts when activated. Oxidative stress, marked by high rates of reactive oxygen species (e.g.

- Gaucher Disease (GD) is a genetic condition caused by a deficiency in the enzyme glucocerebrosidase, and Velaglucerase alfa is used to replace this enzyme through therapy.
- Novel nanoparticle systems made from Eudragit have been developed to enhance the delivery and effectiveness of Velaglucerase alfa, demonstrating high stability and efficient encapsulation.
- In laboratory studies, these nanoparticles showed improved interaction with important proteins, better enzyme release in acidic conditions, and increased internalization in GD cells, leading to enhanced enzyme activity without affecting cell viability.
This study evaluated the levels of 10 polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) and 3 hexabromocyclododecanes (HBCDDs) in liver and fat tissue of 45 Caretta caretta stranded along the Adriatic Sea. The analytical methodology was based on gas or liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution mass spectrometry. The mean values of PBDEs and α-HBCDD were 0.

- Breast cancer (BC) is a major global health issue for women, and studies show that physical activity (PA) can significantly improve quality of life, recovery, and survival rates in BC patients.
- PA affects DNA methylation, potentially reversing abnormal patterns linked to cancer and other diseases, and this review highlights how PA influences both global and gene-specific DNA methylation in BC patients.
- The analysis indicates that PA can elevate global DNA methylation in tumors and affects various genes associated with important biological processes, underscoring its potential to restore normal cell function and improve recovery and survival outcomes for BC patients.
is widely grown throughout the tropics and increasingly used for its therapeutic and nutraceutical properties. These properties are attributed to potent antioxidant and metabolism regulators, including glucosinolates/isothiocyanates as well as flavonoids, polyphenols, and phenolic acids. Research to date largely consists of geographically limited studies that only examine material available locally.
