With overexpression in various cancers, the gastrin-releasing peptide receptor (GRPR) is a promising target for cancer imaging and therapy. However, the high pancreas uptake of reported GRPR-targeting radioligands limits their clinical application. O...

Owing to the rapid development of the cosmetic industry, cosmetic safety has become the focus of consumers’ attention. However, in order to achieve the desired effects in the short term, the illegal addition of hormones in cosmetics has emerged...

Recently zero-dimensional (0-D) inorganic–organic metal halides (IOMHs) have become a promising class of optoelectronic materials. Herein, we report a new photoluminescent (PL) 0-D antimony(III)-based IOMH single crystal, namely [H2BPZ][SbCl5]&...

Galectin-10 (Gal-10) forms Charcot–Leyden crystals (CLCs), which play a key role in the symptoms of asthma and allergies and some other diseases. Gal-10 has a carbohydrate-binding site; however, neither the Gal-10 dimer nor the CLCs can bind su...

Dipeptidyl peptidase III (DPP III), a zinc exopeptidase, is involved in the final steps of intercellular protein degradation and has a marked affinity for opioid peptides such as enkephalins and endomorphins. Recently, we characterized a number of ne...

A natural α-1,6-glucan named BBWPW was identified from black beans. Cell viability assay showed that BBWPW inhibited the proliferation of different cancer cells, especially HeLa cells. Flow cytometry analysis indicated that BBWPW suppressed the...

Pasteurized yogurt is a healthy yogurt that can be stored in ambient temperature conditions. Dynamic headspace sampling (DHS) combined with gas chromatography-olfactory mass spectrometry (GC-O-MS), sensory evaluation, electronic nose (E-nose), and pa...

Cinnamomum japonicum (CJ) is widely distributed in Asian countries like Korea, China, and Japan. Modern pharmacological studies have demonstrated that it exhibits various biological activities, including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. How...

In recent years, histone deacetylases (HDACs) have emerged as promising targets in the treatment of cancer. The approach is to inhibit HDACs with drugs known as HDAC inhibitors (HDACis). Such HDACis are broadly classified according to their chemical...

Background: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common form of liver cancer that occurs in hepatocytes. Although many chemical drugs, e.g., cisplatin, methotrexate, taxis, and doxorubicin are used to treat HCC, there have been numerous reports...
