Doxorubicin is an effective chemotherapeutic agent in the treatment of solid hematological and non-hematological carcinoma. However, its long-term usage could result in side effects, such as cardiomyopathy, chronic heart failure, neurotoxicity and ca...

Yak whey protein concentrates (YWPCs) have good functional properties, but there is still a gap in the study of their peptides. In this study, peptides were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis, and the bioactivity of each ultrafiltration fraction was ev...

An enhanced, sustainable, and efficient method for synthesizing tacrine, achieving a 98% yield, has been developed by replacing volatile organic compounds with more eco-friendly solvents such as deep eutectic solvent (DESs). The optimized protocol sc...

Mn4+-doped red-light-emitting phosphors have become a research hotspot that can effectively enhance photosynthesis and promote morphogenesis in plants. Herein, the red phosphor La3Mg2NbO9:Mn4+ was synthesized through the solid-state reaction method....

Emerging evidence has demonstrated a strong correlation between vitamin D status and fatty liver disease. Aberrant hepatic fat infiltration contributes to oxidant overproduction, promoting metabolic dysfunction, and inflammatory responses. Vitamin D...

To investigate the influence of deashing on fusion characteristics, a combined method of water and acid washing with different sequences (water washing followed by acid washing, and acid washing followed by water washing) was used to treat the biocha...

The emergence and spread of drug-resistant Plasmodium falciparum parasites shed a serious concern on the worldwide control of malaria, the most important tropical disease in terms of mortality and morbidity. This situation has led us to consider the...

Glycosylated polyene macrolides are important antifungal agents that are produced by many actinomycete species. Development of new polyenes may deliver improved antibiotics. Here, Streptomyces nodosus was genetically re-programmed to synthesise penta...

Short-chain fatty acids (SCFA) and lactate in ruminal fluid are products resulting from the microbial fermentation of substrates and can be used to reflect the composition and activity of the ruminal microbiome. Determination of SCFA and D-/L-lactate...

Ipê is a plant of the Bignoniaceae family. Among the compounds extracted from this tree, lapachol is notable because its structural modification allows the production of β-lapachone, which has anticancer properties. The objective of this w...
