Almond (Prunus dulcis) is a tree nut with high nutritional value that is widely cultivated and consumed globally. Prudu6, an 11S globulin, is one of the main allergens in almond, which can trigger a series of severe allergic reactions. To our knowled...

The demand for polymer composite materials in the dental market is increasing every year. This rise is due to their excellent properties and ongoing technological advancements. The goal of this study was to develop new photoinitiators included in the...

Maternal metabolic dysfunction adversely influences embryonic muscle oxidative capacity and mitochondrial biogenesis, increasing the child’s long-term risks of developing obesity and metabolic syndrome in later life. This pilot study explored t...

Chronic inflammatory pain (IP) remains a therapeutic challenge under the worldwide prevalence of the high-fat dietary lifestyle. This study aimed at identifying mediators of the IP augmented by short-term high-fat diet (HFD). IP was induced on C57BL/...

Osseointegration is the direct contact between living bone and a dental implant, with supporting evidence confirming the direct connection between bone and titanium, found using an electron microscope. However, the fundamental mechanisms and intercon...

A separable bamboo-like carbon nanotube-based catalyst was prepared by the spherfication method using sodium alginate and nickel. The spheres were carbonized and then decorated with palladium nanoparticles before they were tested in nitrobenzene hydr...

Inflammation is a vital physiological response that plays a crucial role in regulating host defense against pathogens while maintaining tissue homeostasis. Inflammasomes, a family of protein complexes, are responsible for controlling the expression o...

Peripheral nerve injuries, caused by trauma or iatrogenic damage, often lead to permanent disabilities with limited effectiveness of current therapeutic treatments. This has driven the growing interest toward natural bioactive molecules, including ur...

Anxiety disorders are among the most common psychiatric conditions that significantly impair one’s quality of life and place a significant burden on healthcare systems. Conventional treatments have certain restraints, such as potential side eff...

1-Acylglycerol-3-phosphate O-acyltransferase (1-AGPAT) is an enzyme family composed of 11 isoforms. Notably, 1-AGPAT 2, the most studied isoform since its discovery, is a critical enzyme in the triglyceride synthesis pathway, converting lysophosphati...
