Two novel adenosine analogs, viz. 9-(1'-beta-D-arabinofuranosyl)-6-nitro-1,3-dideazapurine or Ara-NDDP (1) and 9-(5'-deoxy-5'-S-(propionic acid) (1'-beta-D-ribofuranosyl) adenine or SAH analog (2), indigenously synthesized, have been found to be potential anticancer agents against cervical cancer caused by human papilloma virus.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD), a progressive and age-associated neurodegenerative disorder, is primarily characterized by amyloid-beta (Aβ) plaques and neurofibrillary tangles. Despite advances in targeting Aβ-mediated neuronal damage with anti-Aβ antibodies, these treatments provide only symptomatic relief and fail to address the multifactorial pathology of the disease. This necessitates the exploration of novel therapeutic approaches and a deeper understanding of molecular signaling mechanisms underlying AD.

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) are widely used as antidiabetic and anti-obesity agents. Although conventional GLP-1 RAs such as liraglutide and semaglutide are acylated with fatty acids to delay their degradation by dipeptidylpeptidase-4 (DPP-4), the manufacturing process is challenging. We previously developed selectively lipidated GLP-1 peptides at their only tryptophan residue (peptide A having one 8-amino-3,6-dioxaoctanoic acid (miniPEG) linker and peptide B having three miniPEG linkers).

Impaired autophagy is reported to promote osteoarthritis (OA). However, the mechanism by which autophagy in regulating meniscus degeneration and OA remains unclear. Here, unconvered aberrant energetic metabolism pattern in meniscus cells with OA is uncovered first, which results in lower adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production.

Background: Recent studies indicate that N6-methyladenosine (mA) RNA modification may regulate ferroptosis in cancer cells, while its molecular mechanisms require further investigation.
Methods: Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) was used to detect changes in mA levels in cells. Transmission electron microscopy and flow cytometry were used to detect mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Background: B-Raf proto-oncogene, serine/threonine kinase (BRAF)-mutant microsatellite stable (MSS) colorectal cancer (CRC) constitutes a distinct CRC subgroup, traditionally perceived as minimally responsive to standard therapies. Recent clinical attempts, such as BRAF inhibitors (BRAFi) monotherapy and combining BRAFi with other inhibitors, have yielded unsatisfactory efficacy. This study aims to identify a novel therapeutic strategy for this challenging subgroup.
