The dengue virus is globally widespread and has a high infection and fatality rate. Currently, no medication is available. So, this study aims to screen for promising inhibitors from Dodonaea viscosa by targeting NS5 methyltransferase (crucial in RNA...
Bromophenols, which belong to the family of phenolic compounds, are halogenated secondary metabolites characterized by the incorporation of bromine atoms into the phenol ring structure, resulting in unique chemical properties. These compounds, synthe...
Dental caries are treated using dental composite restorative materials (DCRM). However, commercial DCRMs lack antibacterial activity. This research aimed to analyze the in vitro antibacterial activity of a series of copolymers consisting of a urethan...
Algae, despite being labeled as an underexplored biological source of chemical constituents, remain inadequately studied in terms of their metabolism. Metabolomics has emerged as a high-throughput technology to investigate the full metabolic profile...
Methylmercury (MeHg) contamination in seafood poses significant health risks to human populations worldwide, particularly neurotoxicity. Selenium protects against the toxicity of metals, such as mercury and inorganic arsenic, but at the same time, th...
Elevated cholesterol levels, or hypercholesterolemia, have been recognized as the underlying cause of various diseases, most notably cardiovascular diseases. Unfortunately, most cholesterol-lowering (or anti-hypercholesterolemic) drugs are associated...
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) are a class of drugs commonly used worldwide for their analgesic and antipyretic effects. However, an overdose of NSAIDs can have negative effects on various systems, including the cardiovascular, gastro...
Bovine serum albumin (BSA) was 3H-labeled via a tritium thermal activation method that allowed quantifying BSA adsorption on single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) to be 740 mg/mg, which leads to the ζ-potential of the BSA–SWCNT complex c...
Bacteria have defense systems against the penetration of foreign DNA (phages and plasmids). Some defense systems protect bacteria from phage penetration into the cell, while others block phage replication. Antiphage defense systems are often located...
The European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) has shown 1133 notifications for spices and herbs in the last 10 years (2013–2023). The analysis of these notifications indicated that 58.7% (665 alerts) of the alerts corresponded to ch...
Lung cancer presents a global health challenge, demanding exploration of its molecular intricacies for treatment targets. The goal is to delay progression and intervene early, reducing patient burden. Novel biomarkers are urgently needed for early di...
Pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) has become a pivotal technology for extracting secondary metabolites (e.g., phenolic compounds) from botanical sources, with implications spanning across pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, and functional foods. This...
