Article Synopsis
  • Metabolic syndrome (MetS) increases the risk of serious health issues like heart disease and diabetes, and while there's no cure, lifestyle changes can help manage it.
  • Sulforaphane (SFN), found in cruciferous vegetables, shows promise in treating MetS and its related conditions due to its ability to regulate fatty acid and glucose levels.
  • A review of 86 studies indicates that SFN may have beneficial effects on metabolic disorders, but more human studies are needed to confirm its effectiveness as a treatment for metabolic syndrome.

Myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) holds a unique position among blood cancers, encompassing a spectrum of blood-related disorders marked by impaired maturation of blood cell precursors, bone marrow abnormalities, genetic instability, and a higher likelihood of progressing to acute myeloid leukemia. MicroRNAs (miRNAs), short non-coding RNA molecules typically 18-24 nucleotides in length, are known to regulate gene expression and contribute to various biological processes, including cellular differentiation and programmed cell death. Additionally, miRNAs are involved in many aspects of cancer development, influencing cell growth, transformation, and apoptosis.

Interactions between the gut microbiota and host immunity are sophisticated, dynamic, and host-dependent. Scientists have recently conducted research showing that disturbances in the gut bacterial community can lead to a decrease in some metabolites and, consequently, to behaviors such as depression. Exposure to stressors dropped the relative abundance of bacteria in the genus while soaring the relative abundance of bacteria in the genus , , , and Oscillibacter, were also reduced in people with depression.

5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is a well-known chemotherapy drug extensively used in the treatment of breast cancer. It works by inhibiting cancer cell proliferation and inducing cell death through direct incorporation into DNA and RNA via thymidylate synthase (TS). Circular RNAs (circRNAs), a novel family of endogenous non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) with limited protein-coding potential, contribute to 5-FU resistance.

The concentration of iron is tightly regulated, making it an essential element. Various cellular processes in the body rely on iron, such as oxygen sensing, oxygen transport, electron transfer, and DNA synthesis. Iron excess can be toxic because it participates in redox reactions that catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species and elevate oxidative stress.

Leukaemia is a dangerous malignancy that causes thousands of deaths every year throughout the world. The rate of morbidity and mortality is significant despite many advancements in therapy strategies for affected individuals. Most antitumour medications used now in clinical oncology use apoptotic signalling pathways to induce cancer cell death.

Frequent exposure to various external and internal adverse forces (stresses) disrupts cell protein homeostasis through endoplasmic reticulum (ER) capacity saturation. This process leads to the unfolded protein response (UPR), which aims to re-establish/maintain optimal cellular equilibrium. This complex mechanism is involved in the pathogenesis of various disorders, such as metabolic syndrome, fibrotic diseases, neurodegeneration, and cancer, by altering cellular metabolic changes integral to activating the hepatic stellate cells (HSCs).

Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignancy among women worldwide. Like many other cancers, BC therapy is challenging and sometimes frustrating. In spite of the various therapeutic modalities applied to treat the cancer, drug resistance, also known as, chemoresistance, is very common in almost all BCs.

Heart failure (HF) is a public health issue that imposes high costs on healthcare systems. Despite the significant advances in therapies and prevention of HF, it remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The current clinical diagnostic or prognostic biomarkers, as well as therapeutic strategies, have some limitations.
