Ethics education plays a crucial role in enhancing the ethical sensitivity of nursing students. This study aimed to assess the impact of an ethics course on the ethical sensitivity levels of nursing students. In this study, one-group pretest-posttest semi-experimental design method is used. The mean total score of the Ethics Sensitivity Scale for Nursing Students before education was determined as 4.93 (neutral), while the mean score increased to 5.62 (significant) after education. There was a statistically significant difference between the pre-education and post-education mean scores of students who reported encountering ethical problems during clinical practice. The findings underscore the importance of ethics education in fostering the ethical sensitivity and awareness of nursing students. They also highlight the need for high-quality ethics education that integrates theoretical knowledge with engaging content, real-life case studies, and practical applications to enhance students' learning experiences.

Introduction Mucormycosis is an uncommon fungal infection caused by filamentous fungi of the Mucorales order, namely Rhizopus, Lichthemia, andMucor species. The incidence and prevalence of mucormycosis reached an all-time high during the COVID-19 pandemic due to excessive steroid use and other factors, leading to the coining of the term CAM (COVID Associated Mucormycosis). The diagnosis of mucormycosis is by a combination of histopathology and microbiological techniques, such as KOH mount and culture.

Background: Patients with estrogen receptor (ER)-positive breast cancer (BC) can be treated with endocrine therapy targeting ER, however, metastatic recurrence occurs in 25% of the patients who have initially been treated. Secreted proteins from tumors play important roles in cancer metastasis but previous methods for isolating secretory proteins had limitations in identifying novel targets.

Methods: We applied an in situ secretory protein labeling technique using TurboID to analyze secretome from tamoxifen-resistant (TAMR) BC.

Banana is sensitive to cold stress and often suffers from chilling injury with browning peel and failure to normal ripening. We have previously reported that banana chilling injury is accompanied by a reduction of miR528 accumulation, alleviating the degradation of its target gene MaPPO and raising ROS levels that cause peel browning. Here, we further revealed that the miR528-MaPPO cold-responsive module was regulated by miR156-targeted SPL transcription factors, and the miR156c-MaSPL4 module was also responsive to cold stress in banana.
