Klotho overexpression protects human cortical neurons from β-amyloid induced neuronal toxicity by Mohammed R. Shaker (10316180)

“…These neurons were next exposed to pre-aggregated β-amyloid 1–42 oligomers to model the neurotoxicity associated with Alzheimer’s disease. Our data reveal that upregulation of <i>KLOTHO</i> significantly reduced β-amyloid-induced neuronal degeneration and apoptosis, as evidenced by decreased cleaved caspase-3 expression and preservation of axonal integrity. …”

Evidence and gaps in clinical outcomes of novel pharmacologic therapies for sickle cell disease: A systematic literature review highlighting insights from clinical trials and real-... by Mohamed Yassin (4166515)

“…<p>This systematic review aims to summarise the clinical outcomes of l-glutamine, crizanlizumab, and voxelotor in the treatment of sickle cell disease (SCD) based on clinical trials and real-world data and to identify any gaps in the observations. …”

Investigating the Role of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member 2 (ACSS2) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Expression in Clinical Samples and Insights from In Vitro Models by Mezher, Nawal

“…Using Caco-2 and HT-29 intestinal epithelial cell lines stimulated with Tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) or Dextran Sodium Sulfate (DSS) as in vitro models of inflammation, we observed upregulation of ACSS2 protein expression. ACSS2 inhibition significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-1β, and TNF-α, and attenuated activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased phosphorylation of p65 and ERK/MEK. …”

Global, regional, and national progress towards Sustainable Development Goal 3.2 for neonatal and child health: all-cause and cause-specific mortality findings from the Global Burd... by Katherine R Paulson (8674293)

“…NMR and U5MR were generally higher in males than in females, although there was no statistically significant difference at the global level. Neonatal disorders remained the leading cause of death in children younger than 5 years in 2019, followed by lower respiratory infections, diarrhoeal diseases, congenital birth defects, and malaria. …”
