Scientists continue to make progress with induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), which have the potential to transform medicine due to their capacity to develop into numerous types of cells that can be employed for treatment. Reprogramming somatic cells to induce iPSCs has provided great value, which can be developed into a variety of tissue types. Researchers now have the resources they need to push iPSC research further as a result of recent significant advances in iPSC characterization and reprogramming techniques.

Monkeypox virus has recently been reported in various regions across the globe, presenting a significant threat to health. The distinct rise in monkeypox cases has underlined the pressing need for intensified research and development that can efficiently combat this virus. Currently, scientists prioritize the development of monkeypox virus antibodies and other anti-monkeypox products to safeguard people worldwide from this debilitating disease.

Understanding Monkeypox

In recent years, many diseases and symptoms have been found to have close connections with the microbiome, especially the gut microbiome group, which has been proven to deeply impact various diseases and symptoms in human beings. Under healthy conditions, the host cells and the vast diversity of microbes in microbiota can maintain a balance. Once microbiota dysbiosis occurs, many illnesses, such as metabolic syndromes, autoimmune diseases, cardiovascular problems, inflammatory bowel diseases, neuropsychiatric disorders, asthma, and cancers, will arise.

The profound advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) are reshaping numerous sectors worldwide, particularly the pharmaceutical industries. The role of AI in drug discovery is becoming more crucial day by day, showcasing significant promise in streamlining and enhancing the process of finding new effective therapeutics.

Groundbreaking developments in the biotechnology sector are bringing hope to global health. This development centers on an innovative approach to immunotherapy using gamma delta T cells, a specialized type of immune cell that could become instrumental in combating various diseases shortly.

For several decades, CNS diseases have caused serious burdens for individuals with these diseases in both physical and mental health. Studies show that more than 95% of CNS diseases have an unknown etiology, which presents scientists with significant obstacles on the road to the creation of efficient treatments. Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease are the two most common types of conditions in the group of patients with CNS diseases, and researchers only have a few findings after years of efforts due to the complexity of the brain.

Obesity is spreading around the world and may contribute to a wide range of harmful conditions, such as cancer, diabetes, fatty liver, and cardiovascular disorders. Obesity can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a bad diet, insufficient rest or exercise, and heredity. Although altering one's lifestyle is still the most effective way to lose weight and improve metabolic symptoms, the use of some medical approaches shows abundant potential for individuals who cannot keep healthy routines or make behavioral modifications.

A novel liposome product, doxorubicin hydrocholoride liposomal injection, has received FDA approval as well as European Commission authorization to be used in the treatment of a variety of cancers, including ovarian cancer, acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS)-related Kaposi's sarcoma, and multiple myeloma. It is no doubt another piece of good news for patients as well as researchers around the world.

In recent years, gamma delta T cells have raised a lot of expectations to be applied in cancer treatment for their exceptional abilities to recognize and kill transformed cells independently of human leukocyte antigen restriction. And there has been increasing interest in translating their potential characteristics into innovative cancer immunotherapies. Despite the high potential of gamma delta T cells, the efficacy of gamma delta T cell immunotherapy is currently limited, with a lower response rate.

In recent years, great achievements have been made in the development of drug delivery systems, which bring potential therapeutics for diverse diseases. Many disease treatments remain to have some side effects despite all of the progress, which limits scientists' ability to treat many diseases such as cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and infectious diseases. However, it is surprising that researchers do not give up but devote much effort to this field.
