Herein, a nanoemulsion-based organogel (NEOG) system loaded with acyclovir has been developed for the effective treatment of herpes simplex virus infection via topical delivery. Pseudo-ternary phase diagram exhibited increase in non-birefrigent, optically isotropic region of organogel with Smix (K) ratio. The NEOG C showed good storage (G') and loss moduli (G″), and more compact network structures. Gel-sol transition temperature (Tg) and fractal dimension (D) of NEOG system revealed increased density of the tubular network with K. Hence, high gelling ability of the developed NEOG system may attribute to the combination of sustained and site-specific delivery of drugs.

The current study investigates groundwater contamination in Darrang district, situated in the flood-prone Brahmaputra Valley. This research evaluates the concentrations and geospatial distributions of iron, fluoride, and arsenic in groundwater samples (n = 347) and assesses their potential ecotoxicological risks to human health. Multivariate statistical techniques were used to investigate the sources and the mobilization mechanism of the contaminants in the aquifer system.

The unique case study presented here explores an exceptionally rare occurrence in an HIV-positive female-synchronous diagnoses of anal squamous cell carcinoma and diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) of the stomach. With limited existing literature on such clinical scenarios, this case serves as an unprecedented insight into the complexities of managing such synchronous malignancies in HIV-positive patients. The article also examines the heightened risk of specific cancer types in individuals living with HIV compared to those without the virus, focusing on AIDS-defining cancers such as Kaposi sarcoma, various lymphomas (including Burkitt lymphoma, immunoblastic lymphoma, and primary central nervous system lymphoma), and invasive cervical cancer.

Background: Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)-derived kidney organoids are a promising model for studying disease mechanisms and renal development. Despite several protocols having been developed, further improvements are needed to overcome existing limitations and enable a wider application of this model. One of the approaches to improve the differentiation of renal organoids in vitro is to include in the system cell types important for kidney organogenesis in vivo, such as macrophages.

The latest 2021 WHO classification redefines glioblastoma (GBM) as the hierarchical reporting standard by eliminating glioblastoma, IDH-mutant and only retaining the tumor entity of "glioblastoma, IDH-wild type." Knowing that subclassification of tumors based on molecular features is supposed to facilitate the therapeutic choice and increase the response rate in cancer patients, it is necessary to carry out molecular classification of the newly defined GBM. Although differentiation trajectory inference based on single-cell sequencing (scRNA-seq) data holds great promise for identifying cell heterogeneity, it has not been used in the study of GBM molecular classification.
