An Ethical Review of Euthanasia and Physician-assisted Suicide

Iranian Journal of Public Health, 2017
Background: In the majority of countries, active direct euthanasia is a forbidden way of the deprivation of the patients’ life, while its passive form is commonly accepted.

Eosinophils‐Induced Lumican Secretion by Synovial Fibroblasts Alleviates Cartilage Degradation via the TGF‐β Pathway Mediated by Anxa1 Binding

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Eosinophils play a crucial role in the progression of temporomandibular joint osteoarthritis (TMJOA). This study demonstrates that eosinophils, induced by OVA/IL‐5, promote Lumican secretion in the synovium, which binds to Annexin A1 in chondrocytes, inhibiting transforming growth factor β2 and Smad2/3 phosphorylation.

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent models of pediatric acquired epilepsy: A report of the TASK3‐WG1B, Pediatric and Genetic Models Working Group of the ILAE/AES Joint Translational Task Force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Epilepsy syndromes during the early years of life may be attributed to an acquired insult, such as hypoxic–ischemic injury, infection, status epilepticus, or brain trauma. These conditions are frequently modeled in experimental rodents to delineate mechanisms of epileptogenesis and investigate novel therapeutic strategies.

Moral Permissibility of Euthanasia- A Bangladesh Context

Bangladesh Journal of Bioethics
Survival is obviously important, but sometimes, under particular circumstances, life can become miserable, difficult, or intolerable; at that point, survival can seem like a punishment or misfortune.

Are Large Language Models Consistent over Value-laden Questions? [PDF]

arXiv
Large language models (LLMs) appear to bias their survey answers toward certain values. Nonetheless, some argue that LLMs are too inconsistent to simulate particular values. Are they? To answer, we first define value consistency as the similarity of answers across (1) paraphrases of one question, (2) related questions under one topic, (3) multiple ...

Magnetic‐Guided Delivery of Antisense Oligonucleotides for Targeted Transduction in Multiple Retinal Explant and Organoid Models

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Magnetic field‐guided MNP@ATR‐ASO nanocomplexes facilitate the targeted delivery of ASOs to ganglion cells or photoreceptors within retinal explants, thereby enhancing the efficacy of ASOs in correcting pre‐mRNA splicing abnormalities. Furthermore, the nanocomplexes improve ASO penetration and delivery in human retinal and inner ear organoid models ...

PRMT1‐Mediated SWI/SNF Complex Recruitment via SMARCC1 Drives IGF2BP2 Transcription to Enhance Carboplatin Resistance in Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
PRMT1 drives carboplatin resistance and tumor progression in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) through a novel, methyltransferase‐independent mechanism. It recruits the SWI/SNF complex to activate IGF2BP2, promoting tumor growth and carboplatin resistance. PBX2 upregulates PRMT1, reinforcing this pathway. This study uncovers a non‐catalytic

Decursin‐Loaded Nanovesicles Target Macrophages Driven by the Pathological Process of Atherosclerosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study presents decursin, a traditional Chinese medicine monomer, that inhibits lipid accumulation and inflammation in atherosclerosis through PKCδ interaction. A novel targeted delivery system (ALD@EM) is developed to overcome decursin's short half‐life, combining antibody‐mediated targeting, LDL‐facilitated chemotaxis, and enhanced macrophage ...

Lactobacillus paracasei N1115 attenuates obesity in high‐fat diet‐induced obese mice

Food Science &Nutrition, Volume 11, Issue 1, Page 418-427, January 2023., 2023
Lactobacillus paracasei N1115 relieved high fat diet induced obesity. Lactobacillus paracasei N1115 decreased body weight, fat accumulation and hyperlipidemia by increasing the abundance of beneficial bacteria (Allobaculum and L. Zeae) and decreased harmful bacteria (Turicibacter).
