Breast cancer is the most prevalent cancer among women and is challenging to diagnose and treat due to its diverse subtypes and stages. Precision medicine aims to improve early detection, prognosis, and treatment planning by identifying new clinical...

Pectins are high-value plant cell-wall polysaccharides with extensive applications in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, paper, and environmental sectors. Traditional extraction and processing methodologies rely heavily on harsh acids, high temperatu...

Models that predict the 3D structure of proteins enable us to easily analyze the structure of unknown proteins. Though many of these models have been found to be accurate, their application in plant proteins is not always entirely accurate. Thus, we...

While databases are emerging across various domains, from small molecules to genomics and proteins, aptamer databases remain scarce, if not entirely absent. Such databases could serve as a comprehensive resource for advancing research, innovation, an...

Insect-derived frass is gaining attention as a circular bioeconomy product with fertilizing and pest-suppressive potential. This study investigates Tenebrio molitor frass as a soil amendment for promoting beneficial nematodes and suppressing Meloidog...

The adult lumbar spinal cord plays a critical role in locomotor control and somatosensory integration, whose transcriptional architecture under physiological conditions has been characterized in various studies with restricted numbers of individuals...

The success of truffle cultivation is especially dependent on the quality of truffle-mycorrhized seedlings, which are typically produced in nurseries under aseptic conditions to avoid root colonization by undesired ectomycorrhizal fungi. However, suc...

A continuous effort is needed to develop sustainable production methods for industrial platform chemicals. B. succiniciproducens, a natural succinic acid-producer, can metabolize five and six carbon atoms containing sugars in pure form as well as fro...

Extremophilic biological process (EBP) pretreatment increases substrate availability in anaerobic digestion, but the effect on downstream microbial community composition in industrial systems is not characterized. Changes in microbial communities wer...

Hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) seed is progressively emerging as an innovative and sustainable source of plant oil. Defatted hempseed meal is rich in protein and carbohydrates, which bacteria can convert into cellulose using glucose and fructose. The opti...

Neurosurgery is undergoing a significant transformation driven by advances in biomaterials and tissue engineering. These interdisciplinary innovations address challenges in repairing and regenerating neural tissues, integrating cranial and spinal imp...

Transgrafting constitutes a technique involving the integration of genetically modified (GM) and non-GM plant organisms. Typically, edible components derived from non-GM scions are categorized as non-GM food products, attributed to the absence of exo...

Regenerating sweet potato from field-derived plant material requires careful management of several critical factors, including the effectiveness of the disinfectant, the age of the explant, and the genotype used. In this context, establishing a relia...

Industrial applications of xylanases in high-temperature settings are limited by enzyme instability. This study evaluated glycerol and phenolic compounds as modulators of the catalytic and structural properties of a recombinant Myceliophthora heterot...

Herbal medicines can be promising for the treatment of infections caused by multidrug-resistant microorganisms. This study aimed to evaluate Rosmarinus officinalis (Rosemary) hydroalcoholic extract (RHE) regarding its phytochemical composition and po...

The study of microalgae has led to significant progress in recent decades. The current microalgal biomass yield is unsatisfactory, except for certain species that are cultivated for the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. In this study, the...

This study evaluated the effect of ultrasonic pulse-assisted extraction on the yield and antioxidant activity of essential oils from grapefruit (Citrus paradisi) by-products using hydrodistillation and Soxhlet solvent extraction (hexane, acetone, eth...

In bioinformatics, pathway analyses are used to interpret biological data by mapping measured molecules with known pathways to discover their functional processes and relationships. Pathway analysis has become an essential tool for interpreting large...

Maternal and child health during pregnancy is an important issue in global public health, and the classification accuracy of fetal cardiotocography (CTG), as a key tool for monitoring fetal health during pregnancy, is directly related to the effectiv...

While bulk RNA sequencing provides a comprehensive view of transcriptomes, it lacks cell type specificity. Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) overcomes this limitation by providing detailed insights at the individual cell level, though it involve...

Gene expression analysis is crucial in understanding cellular processes, development, health, and disease. With RNA-seq outpacing microarray as the chosen platform for gene expression, is there space for array data in future profiling? This study inv...

Large-scale bioprocesses often suffer from spatial heterogeneities, which impact microbial performance and often lead to phenotypic population heterogeneity. To better understand these effects at the single-cell level, this study applied, for the fir...

This study investigates the cytotoxic properties of metal complexes incorporating thio-uracil derivatives, specifically 2,4-dithiouracil and 6-propyl-2-thiouracil. The research focuses on the cytotoxic effects of Cu(II) and Pd(II) complexes with 6-pr...

Science has made significant progress in detecting reactive oxygen species (ROS) in tobacco smoke, which is an important step for precision cancer therapy. An important advance is also the understanding that superoxide can be produced by electrophili...

Fibronectin (FN), a primary component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), features multiple structural domains closely linked to various cellular behaviors, including migration, spreading, adhesion, and proliferation. The FN3 domain, which contains th...

Vanilla is a highly valuable spice in multiple industries worldwide. However, it faces a serious problem due to a disease known as root and stem rot, caused by the fungus Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vanillae. Little is known about the pathogenicity mec...
