Background: Esophageal and gastric cancer were among the top 10 most common cancers worldwide. In addition, sex-specific differences were observed in the incidence. Due to their anatomic proximity, the 2 cancers have both different but also shared risk factors and epidemiological features.

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) are taken up by most cells, however specific or preferential cell targeting remains a hurdle. This study aims to develop an EV that targets cells involved in inflammation, specifically those expressing intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1). To target these cells, we overexpress the ICAM-1 binding receptor "lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1" (LFA-1) in HEK293F cells, by sequential transfection of plasmids of the two LFA-1 subunits, ITGAL and ITGB2 (CD11a and CD18).

Background: The Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) holds significant economic value in East Asia, but limitations in understanding its reproductive biology have hindered advancements in artificial breeding techniques. Previous research has primarily focused on conserved sex differentiation genes, offering limited insights into the broader molecular mechanisms driving gonadal development and sexual dimorphism. To address these limitations, this study aims to investigate key genes and pathways involved in gonadal development through a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of male and female eel gonads.

Humans encounter both natural and artificial radiation sources, including cosmic rays, primordial radionuclides, and radiation generated by human activities. These radionuclides can infiltrate the human body through various pathways, potentially leading to cancer and genetic mutations. A study was conducted using random sampling to assess the concentrations of radioactive isotopes and heavy metals in mineral water from Iran, consumable at Arak City.
