RNA degradation using ribonuclease targeting chimeras (RiboTACs) is a promising approach for cancer therapy. However, potential off-target degradation is a serious issue. Here, a RiboTAC is designed for tumor microenvironment triggered activation.

Introduction: Alcoholic-associated liver diseases (ALD) are now widespread issues worldwide. Alcoholic-induced chronic dysbiosis of the gut microbiota is one of the factors in the pathophysiology of ALD.
Methods: In this work, we employed a chronic-binge ethanol feeding mice model, as described in a previous report.
Postbiotics are attractive as alternatives to antibiotics for use against post-weaning diarrhea. However, their beneficial mechanisms are largely unknown. In the current study, we first demonstrated that supplementation with 0.

Twelve healthy male students were recruited to investigate the physiological response to different noise exposure and mental workload (MW) conditions, while performing multi-attribute task battery (MATB) tasks. The experiments were conducted under three noise exposure conditions, with different sound pressure levels and sharpness. After adaptation to each noise condition, the participants were required to perform the resting test and the MATB task tests with low, medium, and high MW.

Synbiotic, the combination of probiotics and prebiotics, is thought to be a pragmatic approach in mitigating inflammation in UC. Bacillus coagulans has been recognized as a potential probiotic for treating intestinal diseases because of its favorable industrial and probiotic properties, including sporulation and lactic acid production.
