AI editors can be a great tool for improving grammar and writing style, but they have limitations. While helpful for basic edits, they lack the ability to understand context, potentially leading to errors and changes that distort meaning.

Researchers from the Brain Chemistry Lab show how peptide molecules called cyclotides from violet flowers can increase the sensitivity of glioblastoma to chemotherapy. In the study, the researchers tested the cytotoxicity of cyclotides on glioblastoma cell lines. The article, published in the Open Access journal Biomedicines MDPI shows how the cyclotides increased cancer cell toxicity when treated with the chemotherapy drug Temozolomide. Furthermore, the researchers tested a synthetic form of the peptide, called Kalata B1. Using a synthetic form of the peptide is highly beneficial as obtaining large quantities of Kalata B1 in its natural form is difficult. The researchers confirmed the structural sequence of the compound and confirmed that it also induced chemosensitivity in the cancer cells when treated with Temozolomide. The research is the groundwork for future animal studies to test the potential effectiveness of cyclotides in treating glioblastoma.

All articles in Molecules MDPI (ISSN: 1420-3049) Vol 29, Issue 17, are now freely available to access, read and download: https://brnw.ch/21wNDlk COVER STORY: This study from the Università Politecnica delle Marche recognises the increase in drug resistant bacteria as an urgent global health issue. Amphiphilic α-hydrazido acid derivatives are structurally simple mimics of antimicrobial peptides. The mechanism of membrane permeabilization at subtoxic concentrations is due to a rapid insertion, followed by an accumulation into the bilayer that increases membrane fluidity and permeability without major structural damages. When evaluated in combination with conventional antibiotics, they proved to be synergistic with tetracycline against sensitive Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, as well as with ciprofloxacin and colistin against resistant strains. In other cases, additive effects were observed, with a remarkable increase in the activity of conventional antibiotics for combinations with ciprofloxacin toward susceptible S. aureus and methicillin toward MRSA.

Common images of plastic pollution include rivers filled with plastic bottles, turtles tangled in debris, and beaches covered in litter. However, microplastics are far more widespread and are increasingly being found in food and water.

MicroRNAs (or miRNAs) are tiny RNA molecules that are involved in gene regulation. Recently, The 2024 Nobel Prize in physiology or medicine has been awarded to the scientists Victor Ambros and Gary Ruvkun for the discovery of miRNA in 1993. An article published in the Open Access International Journal of Molecular Sciences MDPI and cited in New Scientist provides a review on the use of miRNAs in therapeutics, which is currently in early stages of development for various diseases. This includes its use in cancer treatments. The review provides a detailed summary on the current landscape of miRNAs in therapeutics, which includes the overall process of predicting and identifying miRNA targets, as well as advances in the delivery of miRNA therapeutics and its challenges.
