2-acetylpyridine N(4)-phenyl thiosemicarbazone (H2Ac4Ph), and its N(4)-ortho-tolyl (H2Ac4oT), N(4)-meta-tolyl (H2Ac4mT), N(4)-para-tolyl (H2Ac4pT), N(4)-ortho-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4oClPh), N(4)-meta-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4mClPh) and N(4)-para-chlorophenyl (H2Ac4pClPh) derivatives were assayed for their cytotoxicity against RT2 (expressing p53 protein) and against T98 (expressing mutant p53 protein) glioma cells. The compounds were highly cytotoxic against RT2 (IC50=24-1.4 nM) and T98 cells (IC50=50-1.0 nM). IC50 for cisplatin=5 (RT2) and 17 μM (T98). The thiosemicarbazones presented haemolytic activity with IC50>10(-3)M, indicating a very good therapeutic index. SAR studies suggested that stereo properties are critical to define the potential activity of the studied compounds against the RT2 cell line, while electronic properties seem to be important for interaction with the biological target in T98 cells.

Prime editing (PE) allows for precise genome editing in human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), such as introducing single nucleotide modifications, small insertions or deletions at a specific genomic locus. Here, we systematically compare a panel of prime editing conditions in hPSCs and generate a potent prime editor, "PE-Plus", through co-inhibition of mismatch repair and p53-mediated cellular stress responses. We further establish an inducible prime editing platform in hPSCs by incorporating the PE-Plus into a safe-harbor locus and demonstrated temporal control of precise editing in both hPSCs and differentiated cells.

The P53 protein, a cancer-associated transcriptional factor and tumor suppressor, houses a Zn ion in its DNA-binding domain (DBD), essential for sequence-specific DNA binding. However, common mutations at position 273, specifically from Arginine to Histidine and Cysteine, lead to a loss of function as a tumor suppressor, also called DNA contact mutations. The mutant (MT) P53 structure cannot stabilize DNA due to inadequate interaction.

Plant-derived extracellular vesicles (PEVs) have been regarded as a superior source for nanomedicine and drug delivery systems. Nevertheless, their clinical translation is hindered by the lack of clarity and even contradiction in their biomedical applications. Herein, we conducted a comprehensive compositional analysis of four commonly used PEVs to fully understand their functional lipid contents and assess their potential therapeutic applications.

Hyalinizing clear cell carcinoma (HCCC) is a rare, low-grade epithelial tumor predominantly found in the salivary glands, with tracheal involvement being particularly uncommon. The present study details a case of primary tracheal HCCC and its clinical presentation, diagnostic challenges and the therapeutic approach used. A 34-year-old female patient presented with a 1-month history of intermittent dyspnea.

This study evaluated the efficacy of integrating artichoke (Cynara scolymus) leaf extract (CSLE) into the Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) diet to mitigate fluoride (FLR) adverse effects on growth, immune components, renal and hepatic function, and the regulation of oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis-related genes. A 60-day feeding experiment was conducted with 240 O. niloticus fish separated into four groups as follows: a control group (CON) fed on a basic diet, a CSLE group receiving 300 mg CSLE/kg via the diet, a FLR group exposed to 6.
