In this study, a series of benzimidazoles bearing thiosemicarbazide chain or triazole and thiadiazole rings were designed and synthesized. Crystal and molecular structure of the compound 5c has been characterized by single crystal X-ray crystallographic analysis. EGFR kinase inhibitory potencies of synthesized compounds were compared with erlotinib in vitro and most of the compounds exhibited significant activities. Cell culture studies were also carried out for selected compounds and 12b was found to be the most active compound. To understand the binding mode of synthesized benzimidazoles, three compounds (12b, 16, 16c) were selected and placed on the binding site of EGFR tyrosine kinase based on their kinase inhibitor potencies and cell culture studies. Docking study indicated that compound 12b showed two-hydrogen bonding interactions with residues of LYS721 and THR830 at the binding pocket.

The secretory capacity of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells remains a fundamental bottleneck in the manufacturing of protein-based therapeutics. Unconventional biological drugs with complex structures and processing requirements are particularly problematic. Although engineered vector DNA elements can achieve rapid and high-level therapeutic protein production, a high metabolic and protein folding burden is imposed on the host cell.

As the global population continues to grow and food demands increase, the food industry faces mounting pressure to develop innovative solutions. Cell-cultured meat involves cultivating cells from live animals through self-renewal methods or scaffolding and presents a promising alternative to traditional meat production by generating nutritionally rich biomass. However, significant research is still needed to overcome challenges such as developing serum-free media, identifying suitable additives to support cell growth, and ensuring the quality of cell-cultured meat closely resembles that of traditional meat.

Introduction: Dysfunction of the enteric nervous system (ENS) is linked to a myriad of gastrointestinal (GI) disorders. Piezo1 is a mechanosensitive ion channel found throughout the GI tract, but its role in the ENS is largely unknown. We hypothesize that Piezo1 plays an important role in the growth and development of the ENS.

Label-free imaging is routinely used during cell culture because of its minimal interference with intracellular biology and capability of observing cells over time. However, label-free image analysis is challenging due to the low contrast between foreground signals and background. So far various deep learning tools have been developed for label-free image analysis and their performance depends on the quality of training data.

Introduction: Ovarian cancer is a lethal disease with low survival rates for women diagnosed in advanced stages. Current cancer immunotherapies are not efficient in ovarian cancer, and there is therefore a significant need for novel treatment options. The β-galactoside-binding lectin, Galectin-3, is involved in different immune processes and has been associated with poor outcome in various cancer diagnoses.
