Article Abstract
Iron is an essential trace element for the human body, but having too much or too little of it can cause various biological issues. When ferrous ions react with hydrogen peroxide, they create highly reactive and soluble hydroxyl radicals that can damage cells through oxidation. This reaction, known as the Fenton reaction, can cause lipid peroxidation and ferroptosis. Understanding how Fenton reaction-mediated ferroptosis works is crucial in treating rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Whether supplementing iron to induce ferroptosis or suppressing Fenton reaction-mediated ferroptosis is the key to regulating the pathophysiology of RA and cancer. Therefore, targeting ferroptosis regulators could be a promising new direction in developing therapeutic drugs for RA and cancer, which warrants further research.

Curcumin (CUR) is a natural product isolated from Curcuma longa L., which has become a research hotspot due to its significant anti-tumor activity by inducing tumor cell apoptosis and inhibiting proliferation. This study designed and synthesized 20 CUR derivatives containing 1,2,3-triazoles and heterocycles by modifying the methylene group between two carboxyl groups of CUR and hybridizing with aldehyde containing fragments.

Anemia remains a widespread public health concern, and the search for interventions demonstrating potent anti-anemic activity is critical for reducing its impact among high-risk populations. Conventional iron therapies are associated with several complications and potential adverse effects. This study explored a polyherbal approach to develop a safer and more effective alternative treatment for anemia.

Introduction: Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a key regulator of lipid metabolism, but its role in colorectal cancer (CRC) stemness and ferroptosis remains unclear.
Methods: FASN expression in CRC was analyzed using TCGA data and validated in CRC cell lines (CACO-2, HCT116, SW480) and normal HIEC-6 cells via qRT-PCR and Western blot. HCT116 cells (highest FASN expression) were used for experiments.

Combined use of antimicrobial agents is a key strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance. After several decades of approval, clinical application of the classical combination co-trimoxazole has gradually become limited, mainly due to the prevalence of resistance. Vitamin C is a natural antimicrobial and redox agent.
