Ferroptosis resistance in cancer cells: nanoparticles for combination therapy as a solution.

Ferroptosis is a form of regulated cell death (RCD) characterized by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation. Ferroptosis is currently proposed as one of the most promising means of combating tumor resistance. Nevertheless, the problem of ferroptosis resistance in certain cancer cells has been identified.

The effects of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on cognitive function in individuals with stroke-induced mild cognitive impairment: a randomized controlled pilot study.

Objective: To assess the impact of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on working memory in stroke-induced mild cognitive impairment (MCI).

Design: Randomized, double-blind controlled study.

Subjects And Methods: Twenty MCI patients from the Fifth Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (December 2021 to February 2023), aged 34-79, 2-12 months post-stroke, were divided into an experimental group (EG) and a control group (CG), each with 10 participants.

Co-assembled nanocomplexes of peptide neoantigen Adpgk and Toll-like receptor 9 agonist CpG ODN for efficient colorectal cancer immunotherapy.

Cancer vaccines targeting tumor specific neoantigens derived from nonsynonymous mutations of tumor cells have emerged as an effective approach to induce antitumor T cells responses for personalized cancer immunotherapy. Despite the enormous potential of synthetic peptides as a common modality for neoantigen vaccines, their practical efficacy was limited due to their relatively low immunogenicity. Herein, we modify neoantigen peptide (Adpgk) derived from MC-38 colon carcinoma by supplementing ten consecutive positively-charged lysines (10 K-Adpgk) to obtain cationic polypeptide.

A new di-O-prenylated flavone from an actinomycete Streptomyces sp. MA-12.

A new di-O-prenylated flavone, named 7,3'-di-(γ,γ-dimethylallyloxy)-5-hydroxy-4'-methoxyflavone (1), was isolated from the culture broth of the endophytic actinomycete Streptomyces sp. MA-12 isolated from the root of the semi-mangrove plant Myoporum bontioides A. Gray.
