The objective of the study was to investigate the effect of genetic polymorphisms in glutathione S-transferases (GST) on the survival of acute myeloid leukaemia patients receiving adriamycin induction therapy. A total of 89 patients were included in the study. Patients who carried at least one GSTM1 allele had trend towards a better survival (mortality rate ratio (RR) 0.588; 95% CI 0.334-1.036) than GSTM1*0/0 patients. However, at low accumulated adriamycin dose, GSTM1*0/0 cases had a better survival than people expressing the gene (RR=6.1; 95% CI=1.2-11.0). The GSTT1 and GSTP1 genotype did not influence the survival in any of the groups.

In light of the adverse effects of chemical insecticides on the environment and human health, as well as the development of mosquito resistance to them, this study explores the potential of methanol and aqueous flower extracts from Lavandula dentata and Nerium oleander as bioinsecticides against Culiseta longiareolata mosquitoes. Additionally, it aims to assess the impact of these extracts on enzymatic biomarkers and biochemical composition of fourth instar larvae of Culiseta longiareolata.Qualitative analysis revealed the presence of flavonoids, terpenes, gallic and catechic tannins in both plant extracts.

Antarctica has one of the most sensitive ecosystems to the negative effects of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) on its biodiversity. This is because of the lower temperatures and the persistence of POPs that promote their accumulation or even biomagnification. However, the impact of POPs on vascular plants is unknown.

Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are promising pharmacological targets for developing antiparasitic agents against helminths, as they play a key role in detoxifying cytotoxic xenobiotics and managing oxidative stress. Inhibiting GST activity can compromise parasite viability. This study reports the successful identification of two selective inhibitors for the mu-class glutathione S-transferase of 25 kDa (Ts25GST) from , named and , using a computationally guided approach.

Asthma has been extensively studied in humans and animals, but the molecular mechanisms underlying asthma in Meishan pigs, a breed with distinct genetic and physiological characteristics, remain elusive. Understanding these mechanisms could provide insights into veterinary medicine and human asthma research. We investigated asthma pathogenesis in Meishan pigs through transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses of blood samples taken during autumn and winter.

Background: The resurgence of Anopheles funestus, a dominant vector of human malaria in western Kenya was partly attributed to insecticide resistance. However, evidence on the molecular basis of pyrethroid resistance in western Kenya is limited. Here, we reported metabolic resistance mechanisms and demonstrated that multiple non-coding Ribonucleic Acids (ncRNAs) could play a potential role in An.
