Self-assembled peptide-based nanofibers for cardiovascular tissue regeneration.

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide, claiming millions of lives every year. Cardiac tissue engineering has emerged as a versatile option for repairing cardiac tissue and helping its regeneration. The use of nanomaterials, particularly nanofiber-based scaffolds combined with biomolecular cues like peptides, has significantly improved the compatibility and efficacy of the scaffolds for cardiac tissue regeneration.

The Role of CDK20 Protein in Carcinogenesis.

Cancer is a complex disease that develops when abnormal cells divide uncontrollably as a consequence of unregulated cell cycle protein activity. Therefore, the cell cycle is crucial for maintaining homeostasis inside the cells during DNA replication and cell division. The presence of mutations within specific genes can disrupt the equilibrium within cells, ultimately leading to the growth of cancer.
