This study further explores a prior screening program carried out using MTT assay that identified a series of novel benzimidazole derivatives, among which Methyl 2-(5-fluoro-2-hydroxyphenyl)-1H-benzo[d]imidazole-5-carboxylate (MBIC) showed highest anticancer efficacy compared to that of chemotherapeutic agent, cisplatin. In this article, the authors find that MBIC inhibited cell viability in different hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) cell lines without exerting significant cytotoxic effects on normal liver cells. The results of this study demonstrate that MBIC may inhibit cell proliferation via ROS-mediated activation of the JNK signaling cascade in HCC cells.

This article predicts that marine-derived bacteria should inhibit Vibrio pathogens and may be a source of unique antibiotic compounds.

This article investigates the dependence of black hole accretion rate (BHAR) on host-galaxy star formation rate (SFR) and stellar mass in the CANDELS/GOODS-South field in the redshift range of 0.5 ⩽ z < 2.0.

This article provides a commentary on the published equation coefficients for mathematically describing the solubility behavior of D-sorbitol in binary acetonitrile + ethanol solvent mixtures using the modified Apelblat, Combined Nearly Ideal Binary Solvent/Redlich-Kister (CNIBS/R-K) and Jouyban-Acree models.

This article highlights a connection between Diophantine approximation and the lower Assouad dimension by using information about the latter to show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable points that lie in certain non-conformal fractals, known as self-affine sponges, is bounded below by the dynamical dimension of these fractals. The results, which are the first to advance beyond the conformal setting, encompass both the case of Sierpiński sponges/carpets (also known as Bedford–McMullen sponges/carpets) and the case of Barański carpets.
