Pancreatic cancer is a highly fatal malignancy due to poor early detection rate and resistance to conventional therapies. This review examines the potential for liquid biopsy as a transformative technology to identify diagnostic and therapeutic targets in pancreatic cancer. Specifically, we explore emerging biomarkers such as exosomal non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs), circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), and circulating tumor cells (CTCs).

Article Synopsis
  • Natural and modified clay minerals, specifically organoclays synthesized from bentonite and various surfactants, are explored as effective sorbents for cleaning up lead ion contamination in environments.
  • The adsorption of lead ions was best described by the Langmuir model, with high R values indicating good fit (0.97 to 0.99), and the organoclays showed varied effectiveness based on the type of surfactant used.
  • The study revealed that organoclays enhance electrostatic interactions with lead ions due to changes in zeta potential during modification, suggesting that mechanisms like ion exchange and electrostatic attraction are key to their efficiency in lead absorption.

Safe drug recommendation systems play a crucial role in minimizing adverse drug reactions and enhancing patient safety. In this research, we propose an innovative approach to develop a safety drug recommendation system by integrating the Salp Swarm Optimization-based Particle Swarm Optimization (SalpPSO) with the GraphSAGE algorithm. The goal is to optimize the hyper parameters of GraphSAGE, enabling more accurate drug-drug interaction prediction and personalized drug recommendations.

The aim of the current study was to synthesize silver nanoparticles (PLSNPs) using green technology by means of phytosterol-enriched fractions fromextracts (EAF) and evaluate their toxicological and anti-haemorrhoidal potential. The average size of the synthesized particles was found to be 85.64 nm by scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy.
