Filamentous cyanobacteria in the genus Nostoc show color diversity in their natural habitats, ranging from bright green to yellow–green to brown. In contrast, laboratory cultures are typically uniform in color, which is attributed to difference...
Reproductive efficiency is a critical determinant of productivity and profitability in both dairy and beef cattle systems. Progesterone-based estrus synchronization protocols have emerged as essential tools to control the timing of ovulation, enhance...
Background: Severe malaria remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality, yet the conserved molecular signatures underlying complicated infections across Plasmodium vivax (P. vivax) and Plasmodium falciparum (P. falciparum) are not well characteri...
One of the major agricultural, nutritional, and medicinal resource in the plant kingdom is the family of Cucurbitaceae, which is also recognized for its richness in carotenoids, terpenoids and triterpenoids. Mevalonate diphosphate decarboxylase (MVD)...
As the use of electronics and mobile devices increases, indium and its related compounds are increasingly prevalent in consumer products. However, the effects of the ionic form of indium on the mammalian renal cells are unclear. Understanding indium...
Green synthesis of nanoparticles using biological extracts has emerged as a sustainable alternative to conventional physicochemical methods, as it provides eco-friendly reducing and stabilizing agents. In this study, silver–copper bimetallic na...
Objective: The development of nanobubble technology has expanded to various gas molecules, such as nitric oxide (NO). NO donors have been frequently used for both therapeutic and diagnostic purposes. However, the use of NO in nanoformulations has rec...
Salinization of agricultural soils is a global problem causing crop yield declines. This impact is caused by osmotic and oxidative stress, which plants often rely on endophytic bacteria to overcome. A bacterial isolate from the roots of the halophyte...
This study evaluated the aroma and antioxidant properties of single-origin chocolate produced from cocoa beans sourced from seven regions in Indonesia. Two roasting approaches—dynamic and static—were applied, followed by small-scale choco...
Identifying the nectar sources of stingless bees is essential for understanding plant–pollinator interactions and for promoting sustainable meliponiculture. Traditionally, this has been achieved through melissopalynological analysis of honey; h...
Background: Cytokine storm-like inflammation includes an imbalanced immune response, where excessive interleukin-6 (IL-6) and inadequate IL-10 play a central role in increasing tissue injury. Melaleuca cajuputi leaves are known to contain anti-inflam...
Low levels of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are strongly associated with increased cardiovascular risk. However, under various pathological conditions, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles may undergo structural and functional modi...
Glyphosate-based herbicides are widely used in agriculture. However, their broader effects on plant lipid metabolism remain insufficiently characterized beyond their canonical target, the shikimate pathway. In this study, we evaluated tissue-specific...
This study presents an exploratory reinforcement learning (RL)-based simulation framework for examining antimicrobial resistance (AMR) dynamics under repeated exposure to a non-antibiotic stressor, using copper as a simplified model compound. The obj...
Molecular diagnosis has advanced rapidly in neurogenetic disorders, yet translating genotype into patient-specific predictions of brain network dysfunction and progression remains limited. Virtual brain models provide a structured solution by embeddi...
Cervical cancer is associated with persistent human papillomavirus (HPV) infections. The early detection of HPV is one of the key strategies for the effective treatment of cervical cancer. Current HPV molecular detection methods use enzyme-based nucl...
Efficient reproductive management is essential for optimizing productivity and sustainability in sheep and goat production systems. Estrus synchronization (ES) has emerged as a pivotal tool for coordinating mating, enhancing fertility, facilitating a...
Artificial intelligence has evolved to generative AI (GenAI), a paradigm shift that has shifted the emphasis away from the evaluation of existing patterns to the generation of novel biological and medical material. This study examines GenAI achieveme...
This study compared the quality and bioactive composition of cloudy apple juices produced from four traditional and four conventional apple cultivars immediately after harvest and following cold storage of the fruit at 4 °C for three and six mont...
Brucellosis poses a persistent threat to livestock health in high-altitude pastoral regions of China, where harsh environments and semi-nomadic grazing increase transmission risk. Existing surveillance systems rely mainly on periodic serological test...
Castrate-resistant prostate cancer (PCa) is a critical situation in which many patients will relapse. Hormonal androgen deprivation therapy (HADT) is the gold standard of care when a patient relapses, following primary surgical or radiation therapy....
Whey is a major by-product of the dairy industry and represents a valuable source of proteins that can be enzymatically converted into bioactive peptides with diverse health-related functions. In recent years, increasing attention has been given to w...
Phytate (myo-inositol hexakisphosphate) is a polyphosphate found in plant-based foods whose intestinal absorption mechanisms are insufficiently understood. Due to its high affinity for calcium, phytate can deplete extracellular calcium and potentiall...
The food industry has a strong interest in lactic acid bacteria (LAB) because of their probiotic potential and health advantages. LAB have been previously isolated from pulque and agave sap, showing antibacterial action. However, their reaction to st...
Two spectrin-sensitive relaxations have been reported in the RBC plasma membrane: βs (1.4 MHz, related to the interface β-relaxation) and γ1s (9 MHz, rotation alignment of spectrin-bound dipoles by penetrating electric field). Here, a...
Bidirectional communication between the oocyte and surrounding follicular cells coordinates follicle growth, meiotic maturation, and the acquisition of competence. We aimed to identify genes related to follicular crosstalk and the secretory pathway a...
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a severe tick-borne viral disease with a high fatality rate, and no licensed vaccines are currently available. The nucleoprotein (NP) of the Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus (CCHFV) plays a c...
While “survival of the fittest” implies that competition is the main driver of evolution, cooperation and altruism are also widespread in nature, even among plants. This suggests that natural selection favors regulatory systems that balan...
Cancer is an alarming health concern and economic burden in both developed and developing countries. Recently, there has been a growing demand for new alternative medications with more effectiveness and fewer harmful effects. During the past decades,...
