The increase in drug resistance and the high toxicity of current drugs have inspired the scientific community to develop new drugs for various diseases. Hydrazides have become an attractive functional group to easily obtain a plethora of novel compounds with a broad range of biological activities. This review, which contains studies in the literature from the previous five years, focuses on the synthesis methods and biological applications of hydrazides and their derivatives. Here, the details of the experimental reaction conditions used for the synthesis of hydrazides and their derivatives (hydrazide-hydrazones and heterocycle derivatives) are presented, as well as the purification methods and the biological activity of the synthesized compounds.

Background: To review the biological functions of ergothioneine (ERGO), its correlation with plasma levels in cognitive frailty, and research progress in treating frailty and cognitive impairment, with the aim of providing a reference for ERGO application in cognitive frailty treatment.
Methods: A comprehensive review of existing literature on ERGO's chemical structure, sources, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, and its role in cognitive frailty was conducted. Clinical trial data and metabolomic studies were also analyzed to understand ERGO's therapeutic potential.

Transcription factors (TFs) are essential proteins that regulate gene expression by specifically binding to transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs) within DNA sequences. Their ability to precisely control the transcription process is crucial for understanding gene regulatory networks, uncovering disease mechanisms, and designing synthetic biology tools. Accurate TFBS prediction, therefore, holds significant importance in advancing these areas of research.

Recent advancements in genomics and "omic" technologies have ushered in a transformative era referred to as personalized or precision medicine. This innovative approach considers the unique genetic profiles of individuals, along with a range of variability factors, to devise tailored disease treatments and prevention strategies that cater to the distinct needs of each patient. Although the terms personalized medicine and precision medicine are frequently utilized interchangeably, it is essential to delineate the subtle distinctions between them.

Emerging evidence indicates that apelin, an adipokine, plays a critical role in numerous biological functions and may hold potential for therapeutic applications; however, its efficacy is constrained by rapid plasma degradation. Thus, the search for novel apelin analogues with reduced susceptibility to plasma degradation is ongoing. We have previously shown novel modified apelin-13 analogues, providing exciting opportunities for potential therapeutic development against Alzheimer's disease.
