ABSTRACT We examined the relationship between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and epigenetic age acceleration (EAA) in adulthood as measured by second and third generation epigenetic clocks by performing a systematic review of the literature. The electronic databases MEDLINE and EMBASE were searched on 17 July 2023.

Is It Possible to Have Cheaper Drugs and Preserve the Incentive to Innovate: Reforming the Drug Approval Process According to Market Principles [PDF]
This paper argues that drugs are expensive not because of a lack of competition among research-based pharmaceutical companies, but because of a lack of competition in the drug approval process.

Traditionally, clinical outcomes measuring how a patient feels, functions, or survives are preferred endpoints in clinical trials; however, some may take a long time to manifest in slowly developing diseases. Biomarkers, if properly validated, can serve as surrogate endpoints, acting as substitutes for clinical outcomes.

Unveiling Hepatic Protein Alterations in Neonatal and Infant Biliary Atresia
Pediatric populations differ from adults in drug elimination capacity. While current scaling methods account for enzyme and transporter maturation, they overlook comorbidities, such as biliary atresia (BA), a liver disease appearing within the first 2–8 weeks of life that can progress to cirrhosis.

Genome‐Wide In Silico Analysis of the Type VI Secretion System (T6SS) Within the Morganella Genus
▪ Species‐specific T6SS patterns among Morganella genus (M. morganii and M. sibonii). ▪ Only one‐third of M. morganii isolates haboured a T6SS. ▪ All M. sibonii possess four T6SS clusters. ▪ M. sibonii exhibited a wide diversity of effectors compared to M. morganii.

Oxidative Stress in the Tumor Immune Microenvironment: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Perspectives
Oxidative stress is involved in several key processes in cancer, including redox regulation, DNA damage, post‐translational modifications, transcriptional regulation, epigenetic modifications, metabolic reprogramming, cell death, and immune modulation. These mechanisms collectively influence tumor progression, immune evasion, and therapeutic responses,
