Stress granules counteract senescence by sequestration of PAI‐1 by Amr Omer (18629374)

“…PAI‐1 localization to SGs increases the translocation of cyclin D1 to the nucleus, promotes RB phosphorylation, and maintains a proliferative, non‐senescent state. Together, our data indicate that SGs may be targets of intervention to modulate senescence in order to impair or prevent its deleterious effects.…”

Inhibition of alpha-synuclein seeded fibril formation and toxicity by herbal medicinal extracts by Mustafa T. Ardah (4858657)

“…In order to investigate the inhibitory mechanisms of these two compounds towards fibril formation, we demonstrated that salvianolic acid B binds predominantly to monomers, while dihydromyricetin binds to oligomeric species and to a lower extent to monomers. Remarkably, these two compounds stabilized the soluble non-toxic oligomers lacking β-sheet content after subjecting them to proteinase K digestion.…”

Efficacy and safety of using Etelcalcetide for controlling secondary hyperparathyroidism by Tarek Fouda (18472476)

“…Reasons for conversion from Cinacalcet to Etelcalcetide were non-compliance due to gastrointestinal Side effects (with resistant elevation of PTH despite optimal dose in almost 90% of patients) also due to the COVID-19 pandemic and its effect in following medication in the face of the shortage of our nurses and physicians (Figure 1). 3.3% (3 patients) had moderate intolerance symptoms (e.g. nausea, vomiting) and they were referred for parathyroidectomy.…”
