In a recent study, researchers have uncovered the potential of medium-chain dicarboxylic acids (MCDAs)鈥攕pecifically azelaic acid (AZA), succinic acid (SUA), and glutaric acid (GLA)鈥攖o replace sulphites in preserving fresh salmon. These naturally occurring acids, already known for their antimicrobial properties, could offer a safer and more effective way to combat the challenges of salmon preservation. Notably, AZA demonstrated impressive antibacterial activity, significantly extending the shelf life of salmon while maintaining its freshness during refrigerated storage.

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) progresses from seemingly benign preneoplastic lesions, but understanding the epigenetic triggers for this transition remains limited. A new study reveals lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) as a crucial player in OSCC initiation. The researchers show that inhibiting LSD1 in early-stage lesions, through either genetic knockout or pharmacological agents like SP2509, prevents tumor growth, restores immune function, and halts the progression of OSCC. This groundbreaking research highlights LSD1 inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy for intercepting OSCC before it becomes invasive, offering new hope for early detection and intervention.
