**Background** Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by insulin resistance and the progressive failure of pancreatic beta cells to secrete sufficient insulin. A key component…
**Background** Prostate cancer is one of the most common malignancies in men, and its progression is often driven by androgens. The enzyme CYP17A1 possesses both 17α-hydroxylase and 17,20-lyase activities, playing…
**Background** Cyclo-oxygenase (COX) enzymes, specifically COX-1 and COX-2, play a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins and thromboxanes, which are key mediators of inflammation, pain, and fever. COX-1 is…
**Background** Calcium homeostasis is critical for the proper functioning of various cellular processes, and disruptions in this balance are implicated in numerous pathologies, including stroke, ischemia/reperfusion injury, and various neurodegenerative…
**Background** Apoptosis signal-regulating kinase 1 (ASK1) is a member of the mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAP3K) family that plays a critical role in mediating cellular responses to various stressors,…
The design of high-performance neurotensin-based theranostic agents hinges on the precise balance between receptor affinity, metabolic stability, and favorable pharmacokinetics. This study presents a systematic investigation into the structural modifications…
The induction of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) plays a central role in the anticancer mechanism of the Fe(II)/(III) complexes derived from N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine ligands. Using the fluorescent probe H₂DCF-DA, which…
Despite significant advances in the development of luminescent metal-organic frameworks (LMOFs) for chemical sensing, several critical challenges remain that hinder their widespread practical application. Addressing these limitations is essential for…
The performance of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction (CO2RR) on Ag-based gas diffusion electrodes (GDEs) is increasingly recognized as being governed not only by catalyst properties but also by the dynamic…
This study presents a comprehensive comparison of magnetic and nonmagnetic biochars derived from rice straw and sewage sludge in their ability to remove Cd²⁺ from aqueous solutions. The results demonstrate…
