Transforming Growth Factor‐β Pathway: Biological Functions and Therapeutic Targets
Natural compounds modulate the TGF‐β pathway, which acts as both a tumor suppressor and promoter during cancer progression. Agents such as ginsenosides, halofuginone, and EGCG influence cell proliferation, apoptosis, and angiogenesis. These bioactive molecules may complement standard therapies, highlighting the need for advanced formulations ...

Abstract Infectious diseases impact numerous organisms. Knowledge of host‐pathogen interactions and host responses to infection is crucial for conservation and management. Obtaining this knowledge quickly is made increasingly possible by a variety of genomic approaches, yet, for many species the bottleneck to understanding this, remains access to ...

An isothermal workflow for low‐cost and PCR‐free field‐based community metabarcoding
Abstract DNA metabarcoding has revolutionized our ability to monitor ecosystems. However, the method is still rarely used in developing countries where resources are limited and fieldwork is challenging. To overcome this limitation, we designed a comprehensive workflow allowing rapid community metabarcoding with minimum, self‐manufacturable equipment ...

Insights Into Cockayne Syndrome Type B: What Underlies Its Pathogenesis?
Cockayne Syndrome complementation group B (CS‐B) is a highly debilitating progeroid syndrome that often culminates in the death of patients before adulthood. This review explores the pathogenesis of CS‐B and proposes that a combination of DNA damage accumulation, transcriptional dysregulation, and mitochondrial dysfunction is its underlying cause ...
