Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a prevalent health condition characterized by gradual kidney function loss. Early detection is crucial for the effective management and treatment of CKD. A promising biomarker for various diseases, including chronic kidney disease, is microRNAs (miRNAs), which are becoming increasingly important due to their stability and differential expression in various disease-related states, including CKD.

In the present study, arginine-glycine-aspartic acid peptide (RGD) surface functionalized liposomes (Lips) were formulated for the concomitant targeted delivery of two antineoplastic drugs, namely curcumin (Cur) and 5-fluorouracil (5FU) to breast cancer cells. The Lips' measured size values where 50-100 nm by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and 169 ± 10.2 nm by dynamic light scattering (DLS), which fall within the desired range required for drug delivery purposes.

Since foodborne diseases are one of the major causes of human hospitalization and death, one of the main challenges to food safety is the elimination or reduction of pathogens from food products throughout the food production chain. Pathogens, such as species, , , species, , , species, etc., enter the consumer's body through the consumption of contaminated food and eventually cause disease, disability, and death in humans.

Cellular senescence is a permanent state of cell cycle arrest that occurs in proliferating cells under various stresses causing age-related disorders. This study investigated the role of D-galactose in inducing premature senescence of neural stem cells (NSCs) and the genes involved in this process. After NSC isolation and proliferation, senescence was induced with 10, 20, or 30 µM concentrations of D-galactose for 24 h.
