Background: Aspirin is a simple, globally available medication that has been shown to reduce the incidence of colorectal cancer. We aimed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of aspirin in the secondary prevention of colorectal cancer.
Methods: This phase 3, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial was conducted at 66 centres across 11 countries and territories (ten in Asia-Pacific; one in the Middle East).
Acetyl CoA synthetases (ACS) have emerged as drug targets for the treatment of cancer, metabolic diseases as well as fungal and parasitic infections. Although a variety of small molecule ACS inhibitors have been discovered, the systematic optimization of these molecules has been slowed by a lack of structural information regarding their mechanism of inhibition. Through a chemical genetic-based, synthetic lethal screen of the human fungal pathogen , we identified an isoxazole-based ACS inhibitor with antifungal activity and exquisite selectivity for the Acs1 relative to human ACSS2 as well as other fungal ACSs.

- The study explores the potential of anti-PD-L1-functionalized immunoliposomes as targeted therapies for recurrent or metastatic cervical cancer using a 3D cancer-on-a-chip model.
- Immunoliposomes were shown to preferentially target cervical cancer cells with high PD-L1 expression in a 3D environment, despite not showing the same efficacy in standard monolayer cultures.
- The research highlights the need for further investigations and emphasizes the usefulness of the developed in vitro model for studying liposome uptake in realistic tissue environments.
Article Synopsis
- RSV is a significant cause of severe respiratory issues in adults, with a study involving 111 hospitalized patients revealing a 12% mortality rate and high rates of co-morbidities and bacterial pneumonia.
- The research included a comparison between immunocompromised and immunocompetent patients, finding that complications were similar in both groups.
- The study emphasizes the need for proactive investigations and treatment strategies for adults diagnosed with RSV due to the high incidence of severe symptoms and bacterial infections.
Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic overwhelmed health systems, resulting in a surge in excess deaths. This study clustered countries based on excess mortality to understand their response to the pandemic and the influence of various factors on excess mortality within each cluster.
Materials And Methods: This ecological study is part of the COVID-19 MORtality (C-MOR) Consortium.
