Hypoxia-inducible factor 1 alpha (HIF-1α) is a master regulator of cellular adaptation to low oxygen tension, playing a pivotal role in angiogenesis, metabolism, and tissue repair. Under normoxic conditions, HIF-1α…
**Background** Peptide screening serves as a critical research methodology for the identification and isolation of active peptides from complex biological pools. By utilizing tools such as immunoassays, researchers can efficiently…
The cytoplasmic N-terminal domain of the sodium/bicarbonate cotransporter NBCe1-A plays a critical role in maintaining systemic acid-base balance by facilitating the transport of Na⁺ and HCO₃⁻ across cellular membranes. Dysfunction…
**Background** Neurological disorders, including epilepsy and chronic pain conditions, often involve the dysregulation of ion channels and neurotransmitter systems. The modulation of sodium (Na+) channels and the enhancement of inhibitory…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic autoimmune disorder affecting the central nervous system, primarily targeting young adults and leading to progressive neurological disability. Despite extensive research, the exact etiology and…
Dasatinib, a potent BCR-ABL1 tyrosine kinase inhibitor (TKI), is widely used in the treatment of Philadelphia chromosome-positive chronic myeloid leukemia (Ph+ CML). Initially approved for patients with resistance or intolerance…
Rett syndrome (RTT) is a severe neurodevelopmental disorder primarily affecting females, caused by mutations in the MECP2 gene located on the X chromosome. The protein MeCP2 plays a critical role…
**Background** Kaolinitic clays are naturally occurring minerals found within the earth’s crust that have gained significant attention due to their versatile applications across industrial, cosmetic, and medical sectors. In biomedical…
This study investigated the anti-obesity effects and underlying mechanisms of blueberry peel extracts (BPE) in 3T3-L1 cells and high-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese rats. Lipid accumulation was assessed, along with changes…
**Background** Menopausal hot flushes are common and often distressing vasomotor symptoms experienced by women during the transition to menopause. These symptoms are primarily driven by the dysregulation of thermoregulatory mechanisms…
