Bandaid immunization to prevent ear infections
Almost every child will develop an ear infection and unfortunately, some children will have seven or eight before their first birthday. These chronic infections can result in language, developmental and educational delays, all factors with long-term consequences.
Three-dimensional computed tomographic volumetry precisely predicts the postoperative pulmonary function
Surgical resection remains the principal treatment for early stage lung cancer, although new chemotherapeutic agents and molecular-targeted drugs have been developed. In order to conduct pulmonary resection safely, it is necessary to ensure that the patient’s postoperative
The lysosomal enzyme cathepsin D as novel therapeutic target for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis
The decrease in physical activity combined with increased caloric intake has led us to a global obesity epidemic. Obese patients can develop metabolic syndrome (MetS), which is a term used to assess the risk of a patient
Cyanobacteria: microbial factories for drug discovery
Cyanobacteria, the only prokaryotes that perform the oxygen-producing photosynthesis, are ancient organisms that shaped the atmosphere of our planet. In colonizing most waters and soils, where they face various environmental challenges and competition with many biological organisms,
Oxidative stress sensitivity of cancer cells could be altered by plasma membrane status
Oxidative stress is defined as “A status that the balance between the oxidation reaction and the antioxidant reaction is lost in our body, and that the oxidation state is dominant.” Oxidative stress is generally adverse for our
