Identifying natural substances that regulate microRNAs (miRNAs) has facilitated the development of innovative therapeutic strategies for brain cancer therapy. This work investigates the intricate interaction between miRNA expression and the specified chemicals, aiming to comprehend how natural compounds may modify miRNA profiles to affect carcinogenic pathways. Curcumin and resveratrol are natural compounds that have lately shown anticancer effects. These drugs function by modifying the expression of certain miRNAs linked to tumor proliferation and treatment resistance. Natural therapies can target these miRNAs, potentially improving therapy effectiveness and mitigating the adverse effects often linked to conventional pharmaceuticals. This review collects the latest findings on the impact of natural compounds on miRNAs. It presents an innovative approach to brain cancer treatment by leveraging the bioactivity of these substances to reinstate normal miRNA function. Natural chemicals provide a comprehensive strategy for addressing brain cancer, underscoring their significance in transforming future therapeutics. From this perspective, natural compounds provide a means to combat brain cancer.

Gastric cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignant tumor that originates from the epithelial cells of the gastric mucosa, predominantly in the form of adenocarcinoma. Extensive research has confirmed the significant role of autophagy in the initiation, progression, and chemoresistance of GC. The potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to exert anti-tumor effects by modulating autophagy has been demonstrated, particularly in the context of GC prevention and treatment.

Background: The receptor-binding domain (RBD) of the spike protein of SARS-CoV-2 interacts with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor in humans. To date, numerous SARS-CoV-2 variants, particularly those involving mutations in the RBD, have been identified. These variants exhibit differences in transmission, pathogenicity, diagnostics, and vaccine efficacy.
