A C-symmetric triazine based triboronic acid (HG1) was designed and synthesized. HG1 was found to give hydrogel in DMSO-water (1:9). The hydrogel was rheo-reversible and thermoreversible over a few cycles. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction (SXRD) studies on the crystals of HG1 established the presence of honeycomb network in which solvent molecules (DMSO and water) were occluded. SXRD data corroborated well with the hypothesis based on which HG1 was designed. Stimuli responsive release (in vitro) of insulin and doxorubicin from the hydrogel was also achieved.

Objective: The objective of this study was to explore the possibility of treating heart failure in rats by delivering mRNA of 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase (DHCR24) into the body through lipid nanoparticles (LNPs).
Methods: We established a heart failure rat model using doxorubicin. The experiment was divided into blank, model, mRNA stock solution cardiac injection, mRNA stock solution intravenous injection, LNP-mRNA stock solution cardiac injection, and LNP-mRNA stock solution intravenous injection groups.

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a significant risk factor for various cancers, with the impact of anti-diabetic therapies on cancer progression differing across malignancies. Among these therapies, metformin has gained attention for its potential anti-cancer effects, primarily through modulation of the AMP-activated protein kinase/mammalian target of rapamycin (AMPK/mTOR) pathway and the induction of autophagy. Beyond metformin, other conventional anti-diabetic treatments, such as insulin, sulfonylureas (SUs), pioglitazone, and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors, have also been examined for their roles in cancer biology, though findings are often inconclusive.

Background: 5-methylcytosine/N-methyladenosine/N-methylguanosine (mC/mA/mG)-related genes play a critical role in tumor occurrence and progression, and non-apoptotic regulatory cell death (NARCD) is closely linked to tumor development and immunity. However, the role of mC/mA/mG-related NARCD genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains unclear. We used mC/mA/mG-related NARCD genes to construct a prognostic model of HCC for prognostic prediction and clinical treatment of patients.

Article Synopsis
- Chemotherapy can lead to cognitive and emotional issues in breast cancer survivors, negatively affecting their quality of life.
- This study aimed to see if diets high in omega-3 fatty acids (EPA+DHA) and low in sucrose could help alleviate these effects in a mouse model.
- Results suggested that low sucrose diets improved long-term memory despite chemotherapy, and EPA+DHA intake had a positive effect on insulin resistance, but more research is needed to fully understand the implications.
