    Abstract Ovarian cancer, a perilous form of cancer affecting the female reproductive system, exhibits intricate communication networks that contribute to its progression. This study aims to identify crucial molecular abnormalities linked to the disease to enhance diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. In particular, we investigate the role of microRNAs (miRNAs) as diagnostic biomarkers and explore their potential in treating ovarian cancer. By targeting miRNAs, which can influence multiple pathways and genes, substantial therapeutic benefits can be attained. In this review we want to shed light on the promising application of miRNA-based interventions and provide insights into the specific miRNAs implicated in ovarian cancer pathogenesis.

    Abstract Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (CIR) injury is initiated by the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), which leads to the oxidation of cellular proteins, DNA, and lipids as an initial event. The reperfusion process impairs critical cascades that support cell survival, including mitochondrial biogenesis and antioxidant enzyme activity. Failure to activate prosurvival signals may result in increased neuronal cell death and exacerbation of CIR damage. Melatonin, a hormone produced naturally in the body, has high concentrations in both the cerebrospinal fluid and the brain. However, melatonin production declines significantly with age, which may contribute to the development of age-related neurological disorders due to reduced levels. By activating various signaling pathways, melatonin can affect multiple aspects of human health due to its diverse range of activities. Therefore, understanding the underlying intracellular and molecular mechanisms is crucial before investigating the neuroprotective effects of melatonin in cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury.

    Abstract Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. In this study, serum levels of autophagy-related 5 (ATG5), apolipoprotein B-48, thyroid hormones, and homocysteine were examined in patients with AD to determine their diagnostic and predictive value for early diagnosis and prevention of AD.
    Materials: For this study, fifty serum samples were obtained from patients with AD and fifty serum samples from healthy controls. Serum levels of ATG 5, apo B48, thyroid hormones, homocysteine, vitamin B12, and folic acid were determined by ELISA. Spectrophotometry was used to determine serum lipid concentrations.
    Results: The mean age of the case group was 69 ± 6.4 years and that of the control group was 67 ± 4.2 years. There were differences between the control and case groups in serum levels of homocysteine, apo B48, ATG5, hsCRP, LDL, HDL, cholesterol, and VitB12 (p < 0.05). According to the results of the ROC curve, measurements of serum levels of ATG5, homocysteine, and apo B48 have excellent performance in distinguishing patients with Alzheimer's disease from patients without AD.
    Conclusions: This study suggests that the measurement of serum levels of ATG5, homocysteine, and apo B48, along with other available biomarkers, can be helpful in the diagnosis and management of patients with AD in the early stages of their disease.

    Abstract Immunotherapy has become a prominent strategy for the treatment of cancer. A method that improves the immune system's ability to attack a tumor (Enhances antigen binding). Targeted killing of malignant cells by adoptive transfer of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T cells is a promising immunotherapy technique in the treatment of cancers. For this purpose, the patient's immune cells, with genetic engineering aid, are loaded with chimeric receptors that have particular antigen binding and activate cytotoxic T lymphocytes. That increases the effectiveness of immune cells and destroying cancer cells. This review discusses the basic structure and function of CAR-T cells and how antigenic targets are identified to treat different cancers and address the disadvantages of this treatment for cancer.

    Abstract Background & objectives: Stroke is one of the most common causes of death worldwide and has distinctive features. Moreover, the different types of strokes are characterized by different physiopathological mechanisms. In the present study, we aimed to investigate the serum levels of ATG5 and apo B-48 and their diagnostic value in patients with ischemic stroke. Methods: We selected 100 participants, including 50 ischemic stroke patients (22 women and 28 men) as the case group and 50 healthy individuals (23 women and 27 men) as the control group. Then, we conducted a case-control study in Imam Reza Hospital (Tabriz, Iran) from March 2016 to April 2016. Serum levels of ATG 5 and Apo B-48 were measured in both groups. We also evaluated the additional diagnostic value of these factors in both groups using receptor-related power analysis (ROC). Results: The mean serum levels of ATG 5 and apo B-48 were significantly higher in the case group than in the control group (p<0.0001). The values under the ROC curve (AUC) for ATG5 and apo B-48 were 0.96 and 0.91, respectively. The area under the ROC curve indicates that ATG 5 and apo B 48 are appropriate biomarkers for diagnosing ischemic stroke. Conclusion: Serum levels of ATG 5 and apo B -48 are significantly higher in patients with ischemic stroke than in healthy individuals and may be considered diagnostic biomarkers in patients with ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Ischaemic stroke is a sudden neurological disorder caused by localised cerebral ischaemia and persistent cerebral infarction. Occlusion of large arteries due to atherothrombosis, cerebral embolism (i.e., embolic infarction), no thrombotic occlusion in small, deep cerebral arteries (i.e., lacunar infarction), and stenosis of proximal arteries due to hypotension leading to decreased cerebral blood flow in arterial supply zones are the most common causes of ischemic stroke (i.e., hemodynamic stroke). It is now known that organelles play an important role in various signaling events and cellular functions. The molecular mechanisms of mitochondria are involved in cerebral ischemia by generating and scavenging reactive oxygen species, apoptosis, biogenesis, mitochondrial dynamics, and inflammation are all examples of electron transport chain dysfunction. More knowledge about the involvement of mitochondria in ischemia-induced neuronal death and neuronal protection will contribute to the development of better treatment programs for stroke syndromes such as ischemic stroke.

    Abstract Background: Stroke is the second leading cause of death worldwide with heterogeneous characteristics. The subtypes of stroke are due to different pathophysiological regulations and causes. This study aimed to investigate the correlation of serum levels of apolipoprotein B 48, interleukin-1β and Homocysteine with BMI in patients with ischemic stroke (IS).
    Methods: Over one hundred controls (120) and an equal number of IS patients, including 31 women and 89 men, were recruited to participate in the case-control study conducted at Imam Reza Hospital (Tabriz, Iran) from February 2019 to March 2020. We measured serum levels of apolipoprotein B 48, interleukin-1β, and Homocysteine. Receiver operating characteristic analysis (ROC) was performed to evaluate the diagnostic value of these indices in patients and control groups.
    Results: The mean serum levels of apolipoprotein B 48, interleukin-1β, and Homocysteine, were significantly increased in the experimental group compared to the control group with a p-value of 0.001. The ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve for apo B48, IL -1β, hs-CRP, and Homocysteine serum levels were 0.94, 0.98, 0.99, and 1, respectively.
    Conclusions: The results of our current study show that the determination of serum levels of apolipoprotein B 48, interleukin-1β, and Homocysteine can potentially be used to monitor and diagnose IS patients. However, there was no statistically significant correlation between serum levels of apolipoprotein B 48, interleukin 1β and Homocysteine and BMI in the patient group. However, there was a statistically significant inverse correlation between serum levels of high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and BMI in the patient group.

    Abstract Outbreak and rapid spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) caused by coronavirus acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) caused severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS-CoV-2) that started in Wuhan, and has become a global problem because of the high rate of human-to-human transmission and severe respiratory infections. Because of high prevalence of SARS-CoV-2, which threatens many people worldwide, rapid diagnosis and simple treatment are needed. Genome editing is a nucleic acid-based approach to altering the genome by artificially changes in genetic information and induce irreversible changes in the function of target gene. Clustered, regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR/Cas) could be a practical and straightforward approach to this disease. CRISPR/Cas system contains Cas protein, which is controlled by a small RNA molecule to create a double-stranded DNA gap. Evidence suggested that CRISPR/Cas was also usable for diagnosis and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. In this review study, we discoursed on application of CRISPR technology in detection and treatment of SARS-CoV-2 infection. Another aspect of this study was to introduce potential future problems in use of CRISPR/Cas technology.

    Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common progressive neurodegenerative disease associated with advanced age. It is characterized by cognitive decline and memory loss and accounts for most cases of dementia in older people. AD can be rooted in genetic, epigenetic, or environmental causes. No drugs or other therapeutic agents prevent or delay AD progression. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are short and uncoded RNAs that can bind to 200 RNAs approximately. By inhibiting or destroying specific messenger RNAs (mRNAs), they control gene expression and broadly affect cellular functions. MiRNAs play important roles in regulating neuronal growth, neuronal differentiation, dendritic spine morphology, and synaptic flexibility in the nervous system. The expression levels of miRNAs are changed in neurological diseases, including AD, suggesting that they play an essential role in the pathogenesis of the disease. Therefore, targeting disrupted miRNAs may be a novel therapeutic approach against AD and offers multiple solutions, including harnessing the beneficial effects of beta-amyloid, reducing tau protein, reducing neuronal cell death, and protecting synapses in AD.
