Background: In Alzheimer's disease (AD), histone acetylation is disrupted, suggesting loss of transcriptional control. Moreover, converging evidence suggests an age- and AD-dependent loss of transcription controlled by all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), the bioactive metabolite of vitamin A (VA). Antioxidant depletion causes oxidative stress (OS).

Artemisinin (ART), a sesquiterpene lactone derived from the sweet wormwood plant (Artemisia annua), exhibits potent anti-malarial and anti-microbial properties, with emerging evidence suggesting its anticancer potential. This review delves into the molecular intricacies underlying ART's anticancer effects, elucidating its modulation of cell signaling pathways, induction of apoptosis and autophagy, and inhibition of angiogenesis crucial for cancer progression. Additionally, the review highlights ART's impact on oxidative stress and DNA damage within cancer cells, along with its potential synergistic effects with conventional cancer drugs to mitigate side effects.

Introduction: Ischemia followed by reperfusion in organ transplantations can lead to ischemia-reperfusion (I-R) injury, which is associated with oxidative stress and inflammatory responses. Alpha-pinene is an organic terpene with well-known antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-apoptotic properties. This study examines the preventive effects of alpha-pinene against renal I-R-induced kidney dysfunction, oxidative and inflammatory status, apoptosis, and histopathology changes.

Tolerance of chilling dictates the geographical distribution, establishment, and productivity of C crops. Chilling reduces enzyme rate, limiting the sink for the absorbed light energy leading to the need for quick energy dissipation via non-photochemical quenching (NPQ). Here, we characterize NPQ upon chilling in three Miscanthus accessions representing diverse chilling tolerance in C grasses.

Background: The treatment of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) and arsenical agent has revolutionarily improved the prognosis of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) both in adults and children. Nevertheless, coagulation disorder and differentiation syndrome (DS) are the main causes of early death in APL patients. Early chemotherapy to reduce leukocytes during induction is an important measure to reduce complications and mortality.
