Mechanism of 5-fluorouracil induced resistance and role of piperine and curcumin as chemo-sensitizers in colon cancer.

Researchers studied chemoresistance in colorectal cancer cells treated with 5-FU, finding various resistance mechanisms. Curcumin and piperine enhance 5-FU sensitivity, showing promise for improving chemotherapy effectiveness.

Antimicrobial lipids loaded on lectin display reduced MIC, curtail pathogenesis and protect zebrafish from reinfection by immunomodulation.

Researchers developed a new antibacterial agent, BcN16E, that effectively treats infections in zebrafish by damaging bacterial membranes and boosting immune response. This novel complex shows promise for future medical use in combating antibiotic resistance.
