Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is regarded as one of the most lethal cancer types for its challenges associated with early diagnosis and resistance to standard chemotherapeutic agents, thereby leading to a poor five-year survival rate. The complexity of the disease calls for a multidisciplinary approach to better manage the disease and improve the status quo in PDAC diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. To this end, the application of quantitative tools can help improve the understanding of disease mechanisms, develop biomarkers for early diagnosis, and design patient-specific treatment strategies to improve therapeutic outcomes. However, such approaches have only been minimally applied towards the investigation of PDAC, and we review the current status of mathematical modeling works in this field.

Introduction: Anxiety and stress are prevalent mental health issues. Traditional drug treatments often come with unwanted side effects and may not produce the desired results. As an alternative, probiotics are being used as a treatment option due to their lack of specific side effects.

Background: Superficial injection of hyaluronic acid (HA)-based gels is a widely used method to restore skin quality and achieve a more youthful appearance. While the clinical benefits of such procedures are well established, their biological mechanisms of action remain poorly understood.
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of two cross-linked HA gels (IPN-12.

Migraine is a complex neurological disorder involving multiple neuropeptides that modulate nociceptive and sensory pathways. The most studied peptide is calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), which is a well-established migraine trigger and therapeutic target. Recently, another peptide, pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide (PACAP), has emerged as an alternative target for migraine therapeutics.

Background: At the 2020 UN General Assembly, China pledged to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060. However, the traditional social development model has led to increasing carbon emissions annually, highlighting the need to resolve the contradiction between development and carbon reduction. This study examines the relationship between carbon emissions, economy, population, and energy consumption in a specific region to support carbon peak and neutrality goals.

Aims: Loneliness is a common public health concern, particularly among mid- to later-life adults. However, its impact on early mortality (deaths occurring before reaching the oldest old age of 85 years) remains underexplored. This study examined the predictive role of loneliness on early mortality across different age groups using data from the Health and Retirement Study (HRS).
