Eco-friendly synthesis of Balanites aegyptiaca-derived selenium nanoparticles: extract and assessment of their anticancer, antimicrobial, cytogenetic and molecular docking insights. (PubMed, Sci Rep)
HPLC analysis revealed eight major phenolics, with gallic acid, chlorogenic acid, and daidzein being the predominant compounds...Molecular docking studies suggested that phenolic compounds effectively interact with the CDK4 active site, supporting their potential anticancer properties. These findings highlight B. aegyptiaca-derived SeNPs as promising candidates for biomedical applications.

Co-disruption of GPX4 and DHODH Ferroptosis Defense Systems via Excipient-Free Self-Assembled Nanoassemblies for Enhanced Ferroptosis Therapy in Triple-Negative Breast Cancer. (PubMed, ACS Appl Mater Interfaces)
Here, doxorubicin (DOX) and teriflunomide (Tfm) were used as therapeutic building blocks for the self-assembly of tumor-targeting, excipient-free nanoassemblies (DoT) that enhance ferroptosis induction in TNBC. Simultaneously, Tfm further devastated the intracellular ferroptosis defense system by suppressing DHODH and crippling the radical-trapping antioxidant capacity, thus evoking robust ferroptotic cell death in TNBC cells. The work presents a synergistic co-disruption strategy against dual ferroptosis defense systems, exhibiting significant potential for clinical applications.

Endothelial oncogenic KRAS mutation drives the dynamics of microglia and macrophages in brain arteriovenous malformation. (PubMed, JCI Insight)
Inhibition of MG/Mϕ with long-term minocycline treatment attenuated the incidence of ICHs around bAVMs. Our study indicates that MG/Mϕ are involved in destabilization of KRAS-induced bAVM, leading to hemorrhagic conversion/ICH. Thus, modulation of MG/Mϕ may reduce ICH risk in bAVM patients.

Concurrent Elevation of CEA and CA 19-9 in a Patient with Allergic Bronchopulmonary Aspergillosis: A Case Report and Literature Review. (PubMed, Ann Clin Lab Sci)
ABPA should be considered in non-asthmatic patients with recurrent respiratory symptoms and elevated tumor markers. Serial monitoring of CEA/CA 19-9 may aid therapeutic assessment.

Tauro ursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA) inhibits human fibrosarcoma HT-1080 cell invasion through MMPs inactivation and the modulation of the MAPKs signaling pathway. (PubMed, Cytotechnology)
Furthermore, gene reporter assay confirmed that TUDCA inhibited the transcriptional activity of NF-κB and AP1. These results suggest that TUDCA could exert a potent anti-metastatic activity in PMA-stimulated HT-1080 cells through modulation of MMPs, MAPKs signaling pathway, and NF-κB and AP1 transcription factors.

A multipronged Tα1 reset of CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity against breast cancer. (PubMed, Hum Immunol)
Complementary transcriptomic analysis using a compact four-gene Tα1 Response Index (Tα1-RI: TLR9, TLR2, IRF1, NLRC5) in TCGA-BRCA (n = 1,112) confirmed positive correlations with antigen presentation and cytotoxic programs and enrichment in CD8-like T cells in single-cell datasets. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that Tα1 enhances CD8+ T cell cytotoxicity while alleviating exhaustion, supporting its potential as an adjunct immunomodulator for improving immune surveillance in breast cancer.
