Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disorder affecting millions worldwide. Inflammation plays a central role in DED. The aim of this review is to critically evaluate the literature concerning the efficacy and safety of lifitegrast, a small molecule immunomodulator that blocks the action of lymphocyte function-associated antigen-1.

Objective: With altered sense of taste being a common symptom of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), the main objective was to investigate the presence and distribution of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) within the tongue over the course of infection.
Methods: Golden Syrian hamsters were inoculated intranasally with SARS-CoV-2 and tongues were collected at 2, 3, 5, 8, 17, 21, 35, and 42 days post-infection (dpi) for analysis. In order to test for gross changes in the tongue, the papillae of the tongue were counted.

Chamuangone, a compound extracted from the leaves of Garcinia cowa, exhibits various biological activities. Yet, its absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion, and toxicity (ADMET) profile as well as anti-inflammatory effects in macrophages remain unexplored. In this study, we employed a computational tool to predict the ADMET profile of chamuangone and performed molecular docking simulations to assess its interactions with key proteins involved in inflammatory pathways.

Zearalenone (ZEN) is a widely distributed mycotoxin with potent estrogenic activity. Detecting ZEN is crucial for assessing its potential health risks. This study developed a highly sensitive non-competitive magnetic phage anti-immunocomplex immunoassay (Nc-MPHAIA) for ZEN detection, utilizing the anti-ZEN single-chain variable fragment (ScFv) and anti-immunocomplex peptide (AIcP), both of which were screened using phage display technology.

Claudins (CLDNs) play a crucial and indispensable role as fundamental components within the structure of tight junctions. Due to the distinct and unique distribution pattern exhibited by CLDNs in both normal and malignant tissues, these proteins have garnered significant attention as pivotal targets for systemic anti-cancer therapy and as noteworthy diagnostic markers. This review provides a comprehensive and detailed elucidation of the fundamental understanding surrounding CLDNs, their intricate expression patterns, the potential role they play in cancer diagnosis and therapeutic potentials; all encapsulated within a succinct summary of the cutting-edge advancements and the information derived from various clinical trials.
