Retrospective analysis of 80 patients with aplastic anaemia (AA) was performed in order to examine clonogenic properties of granulomonocytopoiesis precursors and to specify the extent of disorder of hemopoiesis in AA. Sharp decrease of clonogenic properties of precursors, especially in severe form of AA was established to be present in 95% of patients, while only in 5% of patients initial indexes of the clonogenic ability were discovered to be normal. After treatment with ALG, prednisolum and androgen and also after splenectomy, clonogenic ability increased appropriately in 43%, 16.6% and 76.9% of patients, although the effect was not steady. The best results were obtained after allogenic transplantation of bone marrow (TBM), when the clonogenic properties normalization was observed against the background of remission 1-3 years lasted. Thus, low indexes of clonogenic properties of the precursors of granulomonocytopoiesis in AA, and positive effect of TBM may indicate the lesion of the precursor. At the same time normal initial indexes in some patients, and diverse effect of different methods of therapy make it possible to admit the probability of the lesion of stromal microenvironment cells.

: , or star fruit, is a shrub known for its medicinal properties, especially due to bioactive metabolites identified in its roots and fruit with anti-cancer activity. However, the biological effects of its leaves remain unexplored. This study aimed to assess the effects of ethanolic extract from leaves on triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), an aggressive subtype lacking specific therapy.

Pancreatic cancer (PC) is one of the most aggressive and lethal malignancies, calling for enhanced research. Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) represents 70-80% of all cases and is known for its resistance to conventional therapies. Carbon-ion radiotherapy (CIRT) has emerged as a promising approach due to its ability to deliver highly localized doses and unique radiobiological properties compared to X-rays.

Cholangiocarcinoma (CCA) or bile-duct cancer is most prevalent in Southeast Asian counties including Thailand. Patients present at an advanced stage when the cancer is often drug resistant, leading to chemotherapy failure. Curcumin has therapeutic potential with various anticancer properties.

Cutaneous melanoma (CM) represents a severe skin cancer with a rising incidence at present and limited treatment options. 5-Fluorouracil (5-FU) is widely used, including for CM; however, the innate resistance of this cancer to conventional therapy remains problematic. Quercetin (QUE) is a flavonoid that can sensitize cancer cells to antitumor agents such as 5-FU.

Reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by oxidative stress have emerged as critical factors in the pathophysiology of malignancies. This study investigated the antioxidant and anticancer properties of zinc (Zn), selenium (Se), and silver (Ag) nanoparticles (NPs) against the A2780 human ovarian cancer cell line. Here, the bioinformatics approach was used to determine the top differentially expressed genes associated with oxidative stress.
