Their activities are tightly modulated to ensure proper physiological functioning, with dysregulation often contributing to disease pathogenesis. Among these, the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system that encompasses IGF-1 and IGF-receptor binding proteins is pivotal in maintaining overall cellular health by regulating growth, repair, and metabolic regulation. Capitalizing on its pro-mitogenic effects, translational studies have focused efforts on developing therapeutics based on IGF-1 for age-related muscle loss, metabolic disorders, or cardiovascular diseases. Mimetic peptide design has emerged as an innovative approach to overcoming limitations of direct IGF-1 therapy, focusing on structural optimization to enhance bioavailability, stability, and receptor specificity. Herein, the development of IGF-1 mimics and their potential clinical applications are reviewed. Their design and molecular properties, including structural considerations and mechanisms of action, are described. In vitro and in vivo approaches analyzed to provide insights into their pharmacokinetics, therapeutic efficacy, and safety profiles in animal models will be delved into.

In the genus Passiflora, flavonoids are predominant, but their photosensitizing activity has yet to be described. This study investigates the photosensitizing potential of extracts from Passiflora edulis, Passiflora alata, and Passiflora cincinnata.

Subsequent assessments include cytokine levels, bacterial load, and cellular infiltrate in the ear. The P. cincinnata-treated group exhibits improved bacterial control, reduced leukocyte infiltration, and less weight loss. The aPDT group demonstrates a unique cytokine correlation profile, featuring more negative correlations among pro-inflammatory cytokines and interleukin-10.

In this study, machine learning algorithms are applied to detect dengue-infected mosquitoes based on their 3D flight patterns. Using a convolutional neural network (CNN) and cubic spline interpolation, mosquito flight trajectories are tracked, followed by classification with models including CNN, eXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), Adaptive Boosting (AdaBoost), Random Forest, Decision Tree, Naive Bayes, Logistic Regression, Multi-Layer Perceptron (MLP), and a hybrid CNN + XGBoost model. The 5-fold cross-validation results showed that XGBoost achieved the highest mean accuracy (81.43%), while Random Forest has shown the best mean F1 Score (82.80%). Some validation folds demonstrated outstanding performance, with AdaBoost reaching 95.85% accuracy and Random Forest achieving 97.77% recall in Fold 1.

Notably, live MDA-MB-231 and HCT-116 cells demonstrated superior sensitivity and specificity compared to fixed cells.

The stability and role of FBXO31 may be regulated by specific residual modification. In this study, five FBXO31 phosphorylation sites are identified in HEK293T cells using biochemical and biological techniques. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry identifies phosphorylated residues, including threonine-28 and -37 and serine-33, -400, and -523. The PyMOL crystal structure reveals the location of these residues on FBXO31 and assesses whether they interact with the reported kinases. Western blotting and fluorescence-activated cell sorting demonstrate that the phosphorylation of Thr-37 and Ser-523 contributes to FBXO31 protein stabilization, which is further confirmed by cycloheximide experiments. The regulatory roles of Thr-37 and Ser-523 in FBXO31 stability are associated with variations in phosphorylation levels and degradation pathways.

Further, A549 cells are exposed to conditioned media from cancer-stimulated MSCs to simulate indirect co-culture, and their response is assessed through viability, immunofluorescence, and flow cytometric analysis. Results show increased viability and proliferation of hBM-MSCs, morphological changes, and elevated alpha-smooth muscle actin expression, suggesting a transition toward cancer-associated fibroblasts. In contrast, hUC-MSCs display reduced viability and no morphological alterations. Conditioned media from cancer-exposed hUC-MSCs induce apoptosis in A549 cells, whereas hBM-MSCs support A549 growth.

The impact of three different IR stimulation time courses on astrocyte calcium and water transport dynamics is explored with widefield fluorescence microscopy and pharmacology to fill this gap.
