Background: Typically, regulatory requirements include 2 confirmatory studies, each at a 1-sided .025 significance level, for a medicine to be approved for a specific indication. When the same medicine has been approved in related indications, 1 confirmatory study at a 1-sided .025 significance level could constitute adequate evidence of efficacy for a new indication.
Methods: This article does not contain any studies with human or animal subjects performed by any of the authors. For multiple related indications developed simultaneously to constitute sufficient evidence of clinical efficacy, the combined-studies significance level can be set at the same level as if those indications are developed sequentially.
Results: This article establishes possible strategies to develop a few related indications at the same time for marketing registration approval, maintaining a desired combined-studies significance level; for example, 1-sided .0000156 for 2 indications, with 1 option having each indication assessed with 1 confirmatory study at .00395 significance level.
Conclusion: It is possible to develop a few indications at the same time for marketing registration approval, where the combinedstudies significance level is less stringent than that of the usual paradigm with 2 confirmatory studies each at 1-sided .025 significance level for every indication.

Background: Neuronal cholesterol deficiency may contribute to the synaptopathy observed in Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Intact synaptic vesicle (SV) mobility is crucial for normal synaptic function, whereas disrupted SV mobility can trigger the synaptopathy associated with AD.

Background: Diabetes mellitus is associated with morphological and functional impairment of the heart primarily due to lipid toxicity caused by increased fatty acid metabolism. Extracellular signal-regulated protein kinases 1 and 2 (ERK1/2) have been implicated in the metabolism of fatty acids in the liver and skeletal muscles. However, their role in the heart in diabetes remains unclear.

Background: Pre-eclampsia (PE) is a gestational disorder that significantly endangers maternal and fetal health. Transfer ribonucleic acid (tRNA)-derived small RNAs (tsRNAs) are important in the progression and diagnosis of various diseases. However, their role in the development of PE is unclear.

Background: This study investigated the selenium-binding capacity of the biomass of two yeast strains, American Type Culture Collection (ATCC) 7090 and CCY 20-2-26.
Methods: The studies carried out methods of bioaccumulation by yeast biomass. Inorganic selenium was added to the culture media as an aqueous solution of NaSeO at concentrations ranging from 0 to 40 mg Se/L.

Background: In this study, we prepared a porous gradient scaffold with hydroxyapatite microtubules (HAMT) and chitosan (CHS) and investigated osteogenesis induced by these scaffolds.
Methods: The arrangement of wax balls in the mold can control the size and distribution of the pores of the scaffold, and form an interconnected gradient pore structure. The scaffolds were systematically evaluated and for biocompatibility, biological activity, and regulatory mechanisms.
