Introduction: The gender disparities and inequities faced by women in academia are widespread, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). The scholarly output of women scientists remains significantly lower than that of men due to limited opportunities. This widening gap has significant implications for policy-making and prioritizing agendas.

The developing human foetal brain is sensitive to thermal stimulation during pregnancy. However, the mechanisms by which heat exposure affects human foetal brain development remain unclear, largely due to the lack of appropriate research models for studying thermal stimulation. To address this, we have developed a periodic heating model based on brain organoids derived from human pluripotent stem cells.

The complex and heterogeneous nature of cancer necessitates the development of innovative multifunctional nanomedicines (MN). Hyaluronic acid (HA) is a functional carbohydrate polysaccharide that is widely used in various biomedical fields. In this study, we employed HA as a stabilizer and regulator for the synthesis of a size-tunable nanomedicine comprising ferric ions, doxorubicin, and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), referred to as HDE-MN, for cancer therapy.

Introduction And Aims: Observational studies suggest an association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and periodontitis. However, observational studies are susceptible to reverse causation and confounding factors, so the causality of this association is uncertain. Causal association between compounds of MetS and periodontitis has been well studied.

Autophagy is a catabolic process that has been conserved throughout evolution, serving to degrade and recycle cellular components and damaged organelles. Autophagy is activated under various stress conditions, such as nutrient deprivation, viral infections, and genotoxic stress, and operates in conjunction with other stress response pathways to mitigate oxidative damage and maintain cellular homeostasis. One such pathway is the Nrf2-Keap1-ARE signaling axis, which functions as an intrinsic antioxidant defense mechanism and has been implicated in cancer chemoprevention, tumor progression, and drug resistance.

Despite the potential safety hazards and side effects, small molecular magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agents have been generally used in clinical medical imaging. The development of stable, but low-toxicity and high-efficiency magnetic resonance contrast agents has been receiving continuous attention and research interest. With the deepening of studies, the combination of small molecular magnetic resonance contrast agents and albumin-based carriers is an effective strategy to obtain new MRI contrast agents with safety, low toxicity, high relaxation efficiency and targeting capability.

Background: The literature has been evolving to standardize gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) diagnosis and terminology. The significance of timing in diagnosing hyperglycemia during pregnancy is underlined by evidence that women diagnosed at 24 weeks of gestation or earlier are at a higher risk of developing postpartum prediabetes, but its association with adverse outcomes for the newborn is controversial. We aimed to investigate the association between early-onset GDM and adverse outcomes in newborns and neonates, comparing it with the late-onset GDM model.

Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is linked to a greater risk of various maternal and fetal complications, including the possibility of long-term metabolic issues in offspring. Our initial research suggests that the Traditional Chinese Medicine formula, Shenling Guchang prescription (SLGP), may have an impact on the gut microbiota. However, the specific mechanisms through which it affects intestinal barrier inflammation in GDM are still not fully understood.
