There is an urgent need for efficient in silico ADME-T prediction tools for the selection of potent therapeutic drugs as well as the elimination of toxic compounds. This is particularly important in view of the high costs and ethical issues inherent to the use of animal models for drugs filtering. To achieve this mission, not only does the accuracy of in silico tools need to be improved, but also new experts in the field with skills in theoretical chemistry, clinical and fundamental biology have to be trained. Similarly, clinical biologists committed to the obligation of means and legally responsible for the results they generate could establish a legal framework that defines legal responsibilities when performing in silico predictions.

MicroRNA abundance as a particular biomarker for precisely identifying cancer metastases has emerged in recent years. The expression levels of miRNA are analyzed to get insights into cancer tissue detection and subtypes. Similar to other cancer types, the miRNA shows high levels of target mRNA dysregulation in association with non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC).

Introduction: Sepsis, like neutropenic sepsis, is a medical condition in which our body overreacts to infectious agents. It is associated with damage to normal tissues and organs by the immune system, which leads to the spread of inflammation throughout our body. Of note, microRNAs (miRNAs) have been found to have a critical role in the sepsis progression.

Background: Male EBP disorder with neurologic defects (MEND syndrome) is an extremely rare disorder with a prevalence of less than 1/1,000,000 individuals worldwide. It is inherited as an X-linked recessive disorder caused by impaired sterol biosynthesis due to nonmosaic hypomorphic EBP variants. MEND syndrome is characterized by variable clinical manifestations including intellectual disability, short stature, scoliosis, digital abnormalities, cataracts, and dermatologic abnormalities.

CDK4/6 inhibitors are effective in treating HR/HER2 breast cancer but face limitations due to therapeutic resistance and hematological toxicity, particularly from strong CDK6 inhibition. To address these challenges, designing selective inhibitors targeting specific cyclin-dependent kinases (CDK) members could offer clinical advantages and broaden CDK inhibitor indications. However, the highly conserved binding pockets of CDKs complicate selective targeting.
