The pursuit of extreme longevity is a popular topic. Advanced technologies such as metabolomics and proteomics have played a crucial role in unraveling complex molecular interactions and identifying novel longevity-related biomarkers in long-lived individuals. This review summarizes key longevity-related biomarkers identified through metabolomics, including high levels of omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs), short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and sphingolipids, as well as low levels of tryptophan.

Artificial intelligence is an advanced computer program that can solve this problem. Therefore, the relevant literature on the application of artificial intelligence in the ultrasonic field from 2011 to 2021 was screened by authors from the Web of Science Core Collection, which aims to summarize the trend of artificial intelligence application in the field of ultrasound, meanwhile, visualize and predict research hotspots.

If there is a targeted drug vehicle which can be deployed on the tumor, the medical treatment is specific and precise. Binary mixing of biocompatible Pluronic F127 and Pluronic L121 was used in this study for a drug carrier of pluronic biomedical hydrogels (PBHs).

Bicyclol is a novel hepatoprotectant that has been shown to protect against liver injury by inducing Hsps, including Hsp27 and Hsp70. Although the role of Hsp70 in protecting against acute hepatic failure has been clearly explored, the precise function of Hsp27 in this setting is poorly defined.
