Currently, COVID-19 is still striking after 4 years of prevalence, with millions of cases and thousands of fatalities being recorded every month. The virus can impact other major organ systems, including the gastrointestinal tract (GIT), cardiovascular, central nervous system, renal, and hepatobiliary systems. The resulting organ dysfunction from SARS-CoV-2 may be attributed to one or a combination of mechanisms, such as direct viral toxicity, disruptions in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS), thrombosis, immune dysregulation, and ischemic injury due to vasculitis.

Article Synopsis
  • * Activin A Receptor Type 1 (ACVR1) is crucial for bone morphogenetic protein signaling and is linked to rare conditions like fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva and diffuse intrinsic pontine glioma due to specific genetic mutations.
  • * Bioinformatics analyses identified seven destabilizing mutations in ACVR1 that may affect protein function and are associated with various cancers, suggesting they could be important for future studies in precision medicine for rare diseases.

Unlabelled: Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) poses a significant global health challenge due to its highly aggressive nature and invasive characteristics. Dysregulation of the Hippo pathway, a key regulator of various biological processes, is observed in TNBC, and its inhibition holds promise for impeding cancer growth. This in-silico analysis investigates the role of Transcriptional Enhanced Associate Domain 4 (TEAD4) in TNBC and its interaction with Yes Associated Protein (YAP) in cancer progression.

Article Synopsis
  • Breast cancer is a serious illness that affects many women and can be deadly.
  • The study discovered a protein called BCL-2A1/BFL1, which when too much is present, can make breast cancer patients live shorter lives.
  • They found a compound named CHEMBL9509 (Silibinin) that can block this protein and help improve the chances of survival for patients.

Plant yields are compromised due to abiotic and biotic stresses. A crucial biotic stress instigated by insect attack, is a major concern that limits crop production. To overcome the deleterious effect of herbivory, pesticides are used but long-term usage of pesticides can be harmful to the environment and human health.

Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women, with roughly 10-15% of new cases classified as triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Traditional chemotherapies are often toxic to normal cells. Therefore, it is important to discover new anticancer compounds that target TNBC while causing minimal damage to normal cells.

Peptides are short linear molecules consisting of amino acids that play an essential role in most biological processes. They can treat diseases by working as a vaccine or antimicrobial agent and serves as a cancer molecule to deliver the drug to the target site for the treatment of cancer. They have the potential to solve the drawbacks of current medications and can be industrially produced in large quantities at low cost.

The Hippo signaling pathway is a master regulator of development, cell proliferation, and apoptosis in particular, and it plays an important role in tissue regeneration, controlling organ size, and cancer suppression. Dysregulation of the Hippo signaling pathway has been implicated in breast cancer, a highly prevalent cancer affecting 1 out of every 15 women worldwide. While the Hippo signaling pathway inhibitors are available, they are suboptimal, for example, due to chemoresistance, mutation, and signal leakage.

Article Synopsis
  • ACVR1 is a special protein that helps send signals inside cells and is important for many body processes.
  • Changes in the ACVR1 gene are linked to a rare disease called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressive and some types of cancer.
  • Researchers are exploring ways to use ACVR1 for developing new treatments for various health problems.
