Article Abstract
Despite important advances in diagnosis and treatment, heart failure (HF) remains a syndrome with substantial morbidity and dismal prognosis. Although implementation and optimization of existing technologies and drugs may lead to better management of HF, new or alternative strategies are desirable. In this regard, basic science is expected to give fundamental inputs, by expanding the knowledge of the pathways underlying HF development and progression, identifying approaches that may improve HF detection and prognostic stratification, and finding novel treatments. Here, we discuss recent basic science insights that encompass major areas of translational research in HF and have high potential clinical impact.

This study investigates the cytotoxic and biochemical effects of PEGylated graphene oxide sol-gel (SJ-go) nanoparticles, curcumin, and quercetin on BEAS-2B human bronchial epithelial. In this work, a new graphene oxide nanocomposite (SJ-go) was produced using the sol-gel method through a one-step reaction. These hybrid sol-gel systems include graphite, triethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and polyethylene glycol (PEG) having a molecular weight of 8000 g/mol.

Disulfiram (DSF), an FDA-approved therapeutic agent for alcohol dependence, has recently attracted considerable interest due to its broad-spectrum inhibitory effects against various viruses. Increasing evidence suggests that DSF can inhibit viral replication through two major mechanisms: the inhibition of viral protein catalytic activity and the ejection of Zn from viral proteins. This review comprehensively summarized the molecular mechanisms underlying DSF's antiviral activity against viruses such as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), hepatitis C virus (HCV), influenza virus, human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and Kaposi sarcoma-associated herpes virus (KSHV), with a particular focus on its dual targeting of Cys residues and Zn coordination sites.

Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) is a potentially life-threatening vascular condition that currently lacks effective pharmacological treatment. The disease is strongly associated with chronic inflammation, where immune cells like macrophages play a crucial role. Efferocytosis, the process by which apoptotic cells are cleared, is involved in regulating inflammation.

Dried blood spots (DBS) offer a practical and relatively non-invasive method for sample collection. Here, we evaluate the feasibility of applying H NMR spectroscopy to metabolomic analysis of DBS. Various solvent suppression techniques and extraction protocols were tested using aqueous and methanolic solvents.

Aquatic pollution caused by pesticides raises concerns about the effects on wildlife. While risk assessment protocols with invertebrates focus mainly on arthropods, the effects on gastropods are underexplored. In this way, the impact of exposure to imidacloprid, a neonicotinoid insecticide, and tebuconazole, an azole fungicide, on different life stages of the freshwater snail Physa acuta was investigated.
