is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause various life-threatening infections. Several unique characteristics make it the ability of survivability and adaptable and develop resistance to antimicrobial agents through multiple mechanisms. Heteroresistance, which is a subpopulation-mediated resistance, has received increasing attention in recent years. Heteroresistance may lead to unexpected treatment failure if not diagnosed in time and treated properly. Therefore, heteroresistant infections pose considerable problems for hospital-acquired infections. However, the clinical prevalence and implications of heteroresistance have not been reviewed. In this work, the aspects of the clinically reported heteroresistance of to commonly used antibiotic agents are reviewed. The prevalence, mechanisms, and clinical relevance of each reported heteroresistant are discussed.

Early and precise diagnosis of cancer is pivotal for effective therapeutic intervention. Traditional diagnostic methods, despite their reliability, often face limitations such as invasiveness, high costs, labor-intensive procedures, extended processing times, and reduced sensitivity for early-stage detection. Electrochemical biosensing is a revolutionary method that provides rapid, cost-effective, and highly sensitive detection of cancer biomarkers.

Aims: Osteoarthritis (OA) is a widespread chronic degenerative joint disease with an increasing global impact. The pathogenesis of OA involves complex interactions between genetic and environmental factors. Despite this, the specific genetic mechanisms underlying OA remain only partially understood, hindering the development of targeted therapeutic strategies.

Introduction: Osteosarcoma, a highly aggressive bone cancer primarily affecting children and young adults, remains a significant challenge in clinical oncology. Metastasis stands as the primary cause of mortality in osteosarcoma patients. However, the mechanisms driving this process remain incompletely understood.

The rapidly growing interest in the literature about the anticancer activity of 3,5-disubstituted pyrazolines and their promising therapeutic potentials/pharmacological properties, supported by the number of pyrazoline derivatives currently in clinical use or clinical trials, encouraged us to review the antiproliferative effects and biochemical investigations of probable mechanisms of action. Nevertheless, many reported pyrazoline-bearing compounds have anticancer activity without an explored mode of action, which opens new research avenues to examine their biochemical profiles further. Therefore, 3,5-disubstituted pyrazoline is a promising core that can be used to design new derivatives with anticancer activity based on the structure-activity relationship summarized in this review to obtain higher potency and selectivity.
