Parkinson's disease is associated with the loss of more than 40% of dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra pars compacta. One of the therapeutic options for restoring striatal dopamine levels is the administration of L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-Dopa). However, Parkinson's disease patients on long-term L-Dopa therapy often experience motor complications, such as dyskinesias.

Slit1 is a secreted protein that is closely related to cell movement and adhesion. Few studies related to fibrosis exist, and the preponderance of current research is confined to the proliferation and differentiation of neural systems. Hypertrophic scars (HTSs) are delineated by an overproduction of the extracellular matrix (ECM) by activated fibroblasts, leading to anomalous fibrosis, which is a severe sequela of burns.

Introduction: We evaluated the prognostic potential of the Beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (β-hCG), Carbohydrate Antigen 19-9 (CA19-9), Cancer Antigen 125 (CA125), and Carcinoembryonic Antigen (CEA) tumor markers for bladder cancer.
Methods: We analyzed the records of 369 patients who underwent radical cystectomy for urothelial cancer (UC) between October 2012 until December 2019. Levels of CA19-9, CA125, CEA, and β-hCG before radical cystectomy were measured in all patient samples, and serum biomarker cutoff values were used as normal and elevated values.

Objective: Cognitive deficits are one of the most debilitating comorbidities in epilepsy and other neurodegenerative, neuropsychiatric, and neurodevelopmental brain disorders. Current diagnostic and therapeutic options are limited and lack objective measures of the underlying neural activities. In this study, electrophysiological biomarkers that reflect cognitive functions in clinically validated batteries were determined to aid diagnosis and treatment in specific brain regions.

- Nanocatalytic medicine aims to improve cancer treatment by developing nanotechnologies that selectively target tumor cells while sparing normal cells.
- The proposed solution involves using pH- and redox-responsive ferrocene-containing polymersomes (FcPsomes) that can control radical production and release therapeutic molecules based on their environment.
- These FcPsomes can facilitate a synergistic treatment approach by producing reactive oxygen species through the Fenton reaction, allowing for targeted and safe therapies that adapt to the tumor's conditions.
