Novel 5-oxo-hexahydroquinoline derivatives: design, synthesis, in vitro P-glycoprotein-mediated multidrug resistance reversal profile and molecular dynamics simulation study [PDF]
Overexpression of the efflux pump P-glycoprotein (P-gp) is one of the important mechanisms of multidrug resistance (MDR) in many tumor cells. In this study, 26 novel 5-oxo-hexahydroquinoline derivatives containing different nitrophenyl moieties at C-4 ...

Methylglyoxal induces cardiac dysfunction through mechanisms involving altered intracellular calcium handling in the rat heart [PDF]
Methylglyoxal (MGO) is an endogenous, highly reactive dicarbonyl metabolite generated under hyperglycaemic conditions. MGO plays a role in developing pathophysiological conditions, including diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, the mechanisms involved and the molecular targets of MGO in the heart have not been elucidated.

Novel Electroactive Therapeutic Platforms for Cardiac Arrhythmia Management
Electroactive platforms offer promising applications in cardiac arrhythmia. Based on their energy sources and mechanisms, electroactive platforms are categorized into i) direct electrical stimulation, ii) self‐powered electroactive systems, iii) physical stimuli‐mediated electroactive systems, and iv) conductive systems, and their applications in ...

Identification of side population cells in mouse primordial germ cells and prenatal testis [PDF]
In mammals, the stem cells of spermatogenesis are derived from an embryonic cell population called primordial germ cells (PGCs). Spermatogonial stem cells displaying the "side population" (SP) phenotype have been identified in the immature and adult ...

Distinct Alterations of Inflammatory Biomarkers in Cluster Headache: A Case Control Study
Objective Investigate the immune system's role in cluster headache by analyzing cytokines in people with cluster headache and headache‐free controls, and explore if certain cytokines could predict a specific phenotype. Methods We measured 45 cytokines in adult participants from the Danish Cluster Headache Biobank in a prospective case–control setup ...

Quantification of Methylene Blue and Evaluation of Its Pharmacokinetics in ICR Mice by Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry Using Difluoroacetic Acid. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Methylene blue (MB), a phenothiazine derivative, is currently under clinical trials for Alzheimer's disease (AD) due to its potential to inhibit tau aggregation, a key pathological process in AD. In this study, we developed and qualified a rapid and reliable liquid chromatography‐quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (LC‐qTOF‐MS) method ...
