The authors use computational methods to compare tau acetylation to the better studied tau phosphorylation in Alzheimer's disease and then design and computationally test a new drug to prevent abnormal post-translational modifications of tau.

Understanding and predicting cognitive decline in Alzheimer's disease

Textile waste from the fashion industry is a major environmental pollutant, but recycling waste into novel building material is a strategy to reduce the negative effects. This manuscript characterized five different binders that can be used to repurpose textile waste into bricks for construction purposes. Water-based glue, cement, white cement, plaster of Paris, and epoxy resin were mixed with shredded textile waste, and the mechanical characteristics and thermal insulation of each brick type were measured. Bricks with increased mechanical strength had the poorest thermal resistance, and the contrasting properties would suit different building purposes. This work provides a first step in generating recycled textile bricks for construction in a circular economy framework.

The authors looked at how pharmacokinetics changed depending on the use of an in vitro or an in vivo model.

Crohn’s disease is a chronic inflammatory bowel condition with symptoms like abdominal pain, fatigue, diarrhea, and malnutrition. Though there's no cure, various treatments help manage it. This study explored the potential impact of Massa Medicata Fermentata (MMF), a fermented Chinese herbal medicine containing Saccharomyces cerevisiae, on Crohn’s disease.

The authors looked at the ability of different machine learning algorithms to predict the level of financial corruption in different countries.

The authors looked at the impact of calcium on iron absorption in mealworms, hypothesizing that calcium would inhibit iron absorption.

Due to a critical shortage of donor hearts, researchers are exploring cardiac xenotransplantation—transplanting animal hearts into humans—as a potential solution. This study synthesized nearly two decades of preclinical research to evaluate multiple factors affecting xenograft survival.

This study investigates the effects of the PROTAC compound A1874 on CT26 colon carcinoma cells, focusing on its ability to degrade the protein BRD4 and reduce cell viability. While A1874 had previously shown effectiveness in other colon cancer cell lines, its impact on CT26 cells was unknown.
