Mathematical models are conventionally used to understand the of tumor behaviors, but they generally lack in precisely correlating drug efficacy with tumor response. Artificial intelligence (AI) has forged a new avenue in cancer management, but requires complex and heavy computing resources. In this paper, we have presented an AI enabled single board computer (SBC) and proposed a modified Gompertz like biphasic response model (MGBRM) for the prediction of anti-tumor activity of docetaxel-palmitate and its solid lipid nano-particles on breast cancer.

CRISPR-Cas-based methods have shown high efficacy in detecting SARS-CoV-2. Amidst the Covid-19 pandemic, numerous studies have explored SARS-CoV-2 detection methods without the need for RNA extraction, aiming to reduce cost and processing time. Here, we assessed a CRISPR-based SARS-CoV-2 detection method's ability to detect the virus in viral transport medium (VTM).

The structural and mechanistic complexity of Escherichia coli's type I Clustered Regularly Interspaced Short Palindromic Repeats/CRISPR-associated (CRISPR-Cas) system, compared with the multidomain, single effector protein-based type II systems, limits its application in genome editing and silencing. Despite the higher prevalence of the type I endogenous systems in bacteria, significant research has focused on improving the type II systems. While the type-I CRISPR system possesses several advantages over others, it may benefit from further studies to simplify the system for ease of use.

When pollen lands on a receptive stigma, it germinates and extends a tube inside the transmitting tissue of the pistil to deliver the sperm cells for double fertilization. The growth of the pollen tube triggers significant alterations in its gene expression. The extent to which these changes occur in the vegetative cell or extend to the sperm cells transported by the tube is unclear but important to determine since sperm cells are believed to acquire a competency for fertilization during pollen-pistil interactions.
