The binding interaction of gefitinib with calf thymus DNA (ct-DNA) under the simulated physiological pH condition was studied employing UV absorption, fluorescence, circular dichroism (CD), viscosity measurement and molecular docking methods. The experimental results revealed that gefitinib preferred to bind to the minor groove of ct-DNA with the binding constant (K-b) of 1.29 x 10(4) L mo1(-1) at 298 K. Base on the signs and magnitudes of the enthalpy change (Delta H-0 = -60.4 kJ mol(-1)) and entropy change (Delta S-0 = -124.7J mol(-1) K-1) in the binding process and the results of molecular docking, it can be concluded that the main interaction forces between gefitinib and ct-DNA in the binding process were van der Waals force and hydrogen bonding interaction. The results of CD experiments revealed that gefitinib did not disturb native B-conformation of ct-DNA. And, the significant change in the conformation of gefitinib in gefitinib-ct-DNA complex was observed from the molecular docking results and the change was close relation with the structure of B-DNA fragments, indicating that the flexibility of gefitinib molecule also plays an important role in the formation of the stable gefitinib-ct-DNA complex.

Immunofluorescence profiling of collagen subtypes is a predictor of treatment outcomes in pancreatic cancer
Girgis Obaid, Menitte Eroy, Jie Zhao, Shazia Bano, Mari Mino-Kenudson, Tayyaba Hasan
Summary: The presence of desmoplasia in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is associated with poor treatment outcomes and reduced drug delivery. By analyzing collagen subtypes in PDAC tumors following different treatment regimens, immunofluorescence profiling can predict long-term survival and tumor growth inhibition. This information can aid in personalized treatment and improve patient survival.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy using an 808 nm diode laser on cellular modulation mechanisms in regenerative endodontic procedures (REPs). The results showed that PBM treatment significantly increased cell viability and migration, and enhanced the release of TGF-131 from dentin.

Amplifying bactericidal activity: Surfactant-mediated AgBr thin film coating over two-dimensional vertically aligned ZnO nanorods for dark-light dual mode disinfection
Pranathi Tata, Ramakrishnan Ganesan, Jayati Ray Dutta
Summary: Thin film coatings with potent antibacterial properties are widely used in medical devices, frequently touched surfaces, and food packaging. However, achieving antibacterial performance under both light and dark conditions remains a challenge. In this study, we successfully prepared AgBr-coated ZnO nanorod thin film architecture using a unique surfactant-mediated solution-phase spin-coating approach. The resulting structures showed dual functionality as antimicrobial agents and photosensitizers, effectively enhancing the visible-light photodisinfection efficacy of ZnO nanorods. The concentration of the surfactant-based precursor solution could be modulated to control the AgBr content. Additionally, components like urea and lactic acid were found to enhance the photocatalytic efficiency of the structures.
