In the present study, negatively charged N-Biotin-RGD and positively charged C-Biotin-RGD were designed, synthesized, and characterized with docking analysis. The fixation of MDA-MB-231 cells with formalin made their cell surface neutrally charged thus removing the electrostatic interactions between charged biotinylated RGD derivatives and MDA-MB-231 cells. The results of the binding affinity of biotinylated RGD derivatives against MDA-MB-231 cells showed that N-Biotin-RGD had higher binding affinity than C-Biotin-RGD.

As quoted in recent literature, it has been known to treat several cancers with an acute course of action. Even so, its use is restricted due to the drug's low pharmacological activity, which leads to poor bioavailability and increases first-pass metabolism.

6-Gingerol (Gn) is an active compound derived from ginger which possesses various biological activities. The therapeutic applications of Gn are limited due to its hydrophobic nature. To ease its administration, one of the nano-emulsion methods, liposome was selected to encapsulate Gn.

Their oncogenic and tumour suppressor properties playing a role in malignancy has generated interest in their potential for use in disease prognosis. While several studies on miRNA have been carried out across the globe, evaluating the clinical implications of miRNAs in cancer diagnosis and prognosis research has currently not been attempted.

However, reliable data resources and comprehensive studies on the theragnostic efficiency of miRNAs in melanoma are scarce. Hence, a decisive study or comprehensive review is required to collate the evidence for profiling miRNAs as a theragnostic marker.

These miRNAs plays important part in several pathways necessary for cancer development, an altered miRNA expression can be oncogenic or tumor-suppressive. Recent experimental results on miRNA have illuminated a different perspective of the molecular pathogenesis of head and neck cancers.

Previous studies have reported that miRNAs play a significant role in T-ALL prognosis and have the potential to function as biomarkers in T-ALL. Therefore, this systematic review and meta-analysis study was designed to evaluate the overall prognostic impact of miRNAs in T-ALL patients.

The ethanolic extract of AI was found rich with phenolics and flavonoids, and determined their concentration as 8.98 ± 1.

However, there are no studies that have investigated the comparative utility of these markers, in multiple cancers.
Methods: The preferred reporting items for systematic review and meta-analysis protocols (PRISMA-P) guidelines were used to design this meta-analysis protocol.

Background: The prognostic value of microRNA (miRNA) expression in T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) has generated significant research interest in recent years. However, most diagnostic and prognostic studies with regards to miRNA expression have been focused on combined B cell and T cell lymphoblastic leukemia. There are very few studies reporting the prognostic effects of miRNA expression on T-ALL.
