The Prodiginins (PGs) natural pigments are secondary metabolites produced by a broad spectrum of gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria, notably by species within the Serratia and Streptomyces genera. These compounds exhibit diverse and potent biological activities, including anticancer, immunosuppressive, antimicrobial, antimalarial, and antiviral effects. Structurally, PGs share a common tripyrrolic core but possess variable side chains and undergo cyclization, resulting in structural diversity.

Growth factors and their receptor tyrosine kinases play a central role in regulating vital cellular processes such as proliferation, differentiation, division, and cell survival, and they are closely associated with the development of various types of cancer, particularly in the context of angiogenesis. Although several small chemical compounds targeting tyrosine kinase receptors have been approved by the FDA for cancer treatment by inhibiting angiogenesis, there is still a need for more effective medications. in silico studies are now crucial tools for the design of new drugs, offering considerable advantages such as cost and time reduction.

Dakhla Bay, situated on the African Atlantic coast, has witnessed sporadic harmful algal blooms (HABs) caused by toxic dinoflagellate species over the past two decades. In this study, we investigated the distribution, abundance, and diversity of dinoflagellate cysts, with a focus on potentially toxic species that develop in this ecosystem where such data are lacking. Sediment samples were collected in April 2018 through coring at 49 stations distributed across the bay.

Introduction: Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) plays a pivotal role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease. Empirical research demonstrated a fundamental alteration in the role of BChE concerning the reduction of cholinergic neurotransmission within the brains of individuals at advanced stages of Alzheimer's.
Method: This study focuses on developing potent inhibitors for Butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) in the context of Alzheimer's disease (AD) treatment.

Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is one of the main drug targets for treating Alzheimer's disease. This current study relies on multiple molecular modeling approaches to develop new potent inhibitors of AChE. We explored a 2D QSAR study using the statistical method of multiple linear regression based on a set of substituted 5-phenyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole and N-benzylpiperidine analogs, which were recently synthesized and proved their inhibitory activities against acetylcholinesterase (AChE).

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymers (CFRP) have become increasingly significant in real-world applications due to their superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and high stiffness. These properties make CFRP an ideal material for reinforcing concrete structures, particularly in scenarios where weight reduction is crucial, such as in bridges and high-rise buildings. The transformative potential of CFRP lies in its ability to enhance the durability and load-bearing capacity of concrete structures while minimizing maintenance costs and extending the lifespan of the infrastructure.

Conductive hearing loss with a normal tympanic membrane is a common reason for otolaryngology consultation, with otospongiosis being the most frequent cause and House syndrome being extremely rare, requiring systematic investigation. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman who presented with conductive hearing loss with a normal tympanic membrane. A temporal bone computed tomography (CT) scan confirmed a House-Goodhill syndrome due to fixation of the malleus head.
