Stiff person syndrome (SPS) is an extremely rare disease that presents with episodic painful muscle spasms and progressive muscle rigidity.Recent evidence suggests that SPS can rarely manifest with life-threatening respiratory complications.However, the pathophysiology behind respiratory failure in SPS is still not clearly understood.Here, we explo
Alcohol-related liver disease (ALD) is recognized as a global health crisis, contributing to approximately 20% of liver cancer-associated fatalities.Dysbiosis of the gut microbiome is associated with the development of ALD, with the gut microbial metabolite urolithin A (UA) exhibiting a potential for alleviating liver symptoms.However, the protecti
Preclinical evidence indicates potent antitumor properties of local Latch anesthetics.Numerous underlying mechanisms explaining such anticancer effects have been identified, suggesting direct cytotoxic as well as indirect immunemediated effects that together reduce the proliferative, invasive and migratory potential of malignant cells.Although some
Sandy beaches support a wide variety of underappreciated biodiversity that is critical to coastal ecosystems.Prior to the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill, the diversity and function of supratidal beach sediment microbial communities along Gulf of Mexico coastlines were not well understood.As such, it was unclear if microbial community compositiona
This study has explored the impact of innovation hubs on knowledge, innovation and entrepreneurial ecosystems.To gain deeper insights, the study adopted an exploratory case study design along a qualitative approach to conduct an empirical investigation.The study reveals a noticeable contribution of the X-Innovation Hub in empowering guar gum youths
