Background/Objectives: Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common acute leukemia in adults, with over 50% of individuals succumbing to the disease annually. This study aimed to assess the correlation between human leukocyte antigen (HLA) genes a...

Background: Microglial cells are the resident immune cells in the central nervous system (CNS) and constitute the brain’s innate immune system. They are the smallest of the glial cells and are derived from phagocytic white blood cells, fetal mo...

Background/Objectives: Drug hypersensitivity reactions (DHRs) are an important cause of morbidity in hospitalized patients, but their epidemiology and management in the inpatient setting are not well defined. Mislabeling of drug allergies may lead to...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD) signifies a devastating impact on the quality of life of patients and their families. At a biomolecular level, AD is characterized by the deposition of extracellular plaques of β-amyloid (Aβ), affecting langua...

Alzheimer’s disease (AD), the leading cause of dementia, is defined by two pathological hallmarks, amyloid-β (Aβ) plaques and hyperphosphorylated tau tangles—both now structurally resolved at near-atomic precision thanks to cryo...

Background/Objectives: Approximately 20% of familial ALS (fALS) cases are linked to mutations in Cu/Zn superoxide dismutase (SOD1). Through a gain function, SOD1 misfolding exerts a toxic effect on motor neurons, leading to their degradation and ALS...

RASopathies are a heterogeneous group of genetic syndromes caused by germline mutations in genes encoding proteins of the RAS/MAPK pathway, which are essential in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and survival. Although characteri...

Skeletal muscle is increasingly recognized as a dynamic endocrine organ whose secretome—particularly myokines—serves as a central hub for the coordination of systemic metabolic health, inflammation, and tissue adaptation. This review inte...

Background/Objectives: Ginsenosides, one of the most pharmaceutically valuable chemical compounds in Panax ginseng, are synthesized with several enzymes, including UGTs. UGTs determine absorbability and physiological function upon consumption. Thus,...

Oxidative stress and inflammation are deeply interconnected processes implicated in the onset and progression of numerous chronic diseases. Despite promising mechanistic insights, conventional antioxidant and anti-inflammatory therapies such as NSAID...

Background: Cadmium (Cd) pollution poses a significant environmental challenge. Microbially induced carbonate precipitation (MICP), an advanced bioremediation approach, relies on the co-precipitation of soluble metals with the microbial hydrolysate f...

The global transition to a circular bioeconomy is accelerating the demand for sustainable, high-performance materials. Filamentous fungi represent a promising solution, as they function as living foundries that transform low-value biomass into advanc...
