Antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of mango peel and radish peel-a comparative investigation
The study explored the antioxidant and antimicrobial properties of ethanolic extracts from Bao Mango and Thai daikon radish peels. It found that the extraction
Anti-cancer Activity of Ethanolic Extract from ‘Bao’ mango (Mangifera indica) Peel and Its Nanoencapsulation Against Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Cell Lines
This work, ‘Bao’ mango peel extract (MPE) was investigated for its antioxidant and anti-cancer activities. Furthermore, after encapsulation with chitosan-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA/CS) nanoparticles,
The complete catalog of antimicrobial resistance secondary active transporters in Clostridioides difficile: evolution and drug resistance perspective
Secondary active transporters move substances across cell membranes in both eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms, using different electrochemical gradients and contributing to
Development of Carbon Dots Synthesized from Green Tea and Alpha-Hydroxyl Acids with Enhanced Antioxidant Activity, Photostability and UV Protection Properties
The exhaustion of the ozone layer in the atmosphere has increased UV radiation penetrating the earth’s surface, leading to severe skin health risks, such as
Preparation of Decellularized Tissue as Dual Cell Carrier Systems: A Step Towards Facilitating Re-epithelization and Cell Encapsulation for Tracheal Reconstruction
Tissue-based treatments, involving the cultivation of patient cells on a network of extracellular matrix (ECM) from donor tissue, hold promise for restoring tracheal structure and
BRCA1 deficiency enhances the aggressiveness of breast cancer cells expressing HPV16 oncoproteins
The precise etiology of breast cancer is not completely understood, although women with inherited BRCA1 gene mutations or decreased BRCA1 expression
Chitosan-Coated Poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) Nanoparticles Loaded with Ursolic Acid for Breast Cancer Therapy
This work, we used chitosan-coated poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA/CS) nanoparticles to encapsulate ursolic acid (UA). UA is a pentacyclic triterpenoid found in various fruits and
Identification of a microbial sub-community from the feral chicken gut that reduces Salmonella colonization and improves gut health in a gnotobiotic chicken model
In a quest to understand the battlefield of gut microbiomes, we explored 1,300 bacterial strains from chicken guts, pinpointing 30 that battle Salmonella. They
