Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of pomegranate oil nanoemulsion (PO-NE) supplementation in semen extender on semen quality, redox status and apoptotic genes of cryopreserved bovine semen.

Methods: Seven proven fertility Holstein Friesian bulls (4 to 6 years) were involved, and the semen samples were collected using the artificial vagina method. Semen was pooled and cryopreserved in tris extender containing PO-NE at 0 (PO-NE0), 1 (PO-NE1), 2 (PO-NE 2) and 4 μg/mL (PO-NE4), respectively.

Background And Objectives: Sovateltide (Tycamzzi™), an endothelin-B (ET-B) receptor agonist, increases cerebral blood flow, has anti-apoptotic activity, and promotes neural repair following cerebral ischaemic stroke. The objectives of this study were to evaluate the efficacy and safety of sovateltide in adult participants with acute cerebral ischaemic stroke.

Methods: This was a randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicentre, Phase III clinical trial of sovateltide in participants with cerebral ischaemic stroke receiving standard of care (SOC) in India.

Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) subtype is characterized with higher EMT/stemness properties and immune suppressive tumor microenvironment (TME). Women with advanced TNBC exhibit aggressive disease and have limited treatment options. Although immune suppressive TME is implicated in driving aggressive properties of basal/TNBC subtype and therapy resistance, effectively targeting it remains a challenge.

Background: Cyclin-dependent kinase 9 (CDK9) stimulates oncogenic transcriptional pathways in cancer and CDK9 inhibitors have emerged as promising therapeutic candidates.

Methods: The activity of an orally bioavailable CDK9 inhibitor, CDKI-73, was evaluated in prostate cancer cell lines, a xenograft mouse model, and patient-derived tumor explants and organoids. Expression of CDK9 was evaluated in clinical specimens by mining public datasets and immunohistochemistry.

Clinical Laboratory, Shanxi Academy of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Taiyuan 030012, Shanxi Province, China.

In this editorial we expand the discussion on the article by Zhang published in the recent issue of the . We focus on the diagnostic and therapeutic targets identified on the basis of the current understanding of the molecular mechanisms of liver disease. Transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) belongs to a structurally related cytokine super family.
