The authors looked at how acetaminophen may cause liver damage by looking at both serum level markers of liver damage as well as liver pathology.

Here, the authors chose to investigate the efficacy of zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) and cisplatin or zinc ions in inducing cancer apoptosis. While both treatments were found to reduce the proliferation of lung cancer cells, the authors suggest that further studies to identify the mechanism are necessary.

In this study, the authors use high-throughput virtual screening to design and evaluate a set of non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors for binding affinity to the protein reverse transcriptase. These studies have important applications toward HIV therapies.

Identifying treatments that can stimulate hair growth use could help those struggling with undesirable hair loss. Here, the authors show that Fibroblast Growth Factors can stimulate the division of cells isolated from the mouse hair follicle. Their results suggest that this family of growth factors might be helpful in stimulating hair growth in living animals as well.

The authors looked at the immunogenicity of a newly developed pneumococcal conjugate vaccine compared to a previously developed one. They found the newly developed vaccine did elicit an immune response.

The authors computationally screened potential ALDH1 inhibitors, for use as potential cancer therapeutics.

This study investigates the effects of the PROTAC compound A1874 on CT26 colon carcinoma cells, focusing on its ability to degrade the protein BRD4 and reduce cell viability. While A1874 had previously shown effectiveness in other colon cancer cell lines, its impact on CT26 cells was unknown.

Sadly, around 800,000 people die by suicide worldwide each year. Dong and Pearce analyze health survey data to identify associations between suicidal ideation and relevant variables, such as sleep quality, hopelessness, and anxious behavior.

In this study, the authors investigate the effects of acidity on the survival of commercial probiotic Lovebug bacterial strains.

Kashyap Jha et al. look at the formulation of MAT20, a crude extract of the moringa, amla, and tulsi leaves, as a potential complementary and alternative medicine. Using HeLa cells, they find MAT20 up-regulates expression of inflammation and cell cytotoxicity markers. Their data is important for understanding the anti-cancer and anti-inflammatory properties of MAT20.
