Green-synthesized pure and Neodymium-doped zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs and Nd-doped ZnO NPs) were prepared using Vaccinium vitis-idaea L. (Ericaceae) leaf extract via a hydrothermal route. The structural, morphological, and magnetic characteris...
Apis mellifera is a key species in ecotoxicological assessments of pest control products. OECD and EFSA guidelines include bee brood toxicity tests, but these protocols are largely based on central and northern European bees. A. mellifera iberiensis,...
This study investigated the effects of foliar applications of boron (B), molybdenum (Mo), and sulfur (S) on forage yield and quality in two alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) cultivars, Bilensoy and Savaş. Four treatments (control, MB, S, and MB+S) we...
Genodermatoses are rare hereditary skin disorders, most of which still lack effective curative treatment, and progress toward modern therapy depends on experimental models that capture both the genetic defect and its tissue context. This review exami...
Non-thermal processing technologies: high-pressure processing (HPP), pulsed electric fields (PEF), ultrasound (US), and cold plasma (CP), are increasingly investigated as tools for food matrix modification and preservation. This structured critical n...
Bile acids (BAs) exert a dose-dependent, biphasic effect on growth performance in various fish species, acting as hepatoprotective and trophic agents at moderate levels, while becoming cytotoxic at higher concentrations. This study was conducted to a...
Enset (Ensete ventricosum (Welw.) Cheesman) is an important perennial food crop that contributes to food security and has potential for climate-resilient agriculture. Its diverse germplasm represents an important genetic resource for conservation and...
Maize in Mexico suffers severe economic losses due to root-feeding and defoliating pests, among which Macrodactylus nigripes is particularly damaging, attacking roots during its larval stage and reducing pollination in adults. The intensive use of ch...
Multi-omics is a field that studies the interactions between different biological modalities to obtain a more precise medical understanding of biological phenomena. With recent advances in high-throughput technologies, multi-omics datasets have becom...
Water stagnation in dental unit reservoirs may be associated with increased microbial contamination and potential exposure to opportunistic microorganisms, particularly among medically vulnerable patients and dental healthcare professionals. This stu...
In patients with diabetes, the concentration of glycated proteins increases. Among them is glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c), which is currently the standard biomarker for assessing long-term glycemic control. However, this parameter has certain limitation...
An analysis of the distribution and co-occurrence patterns of targeted virulence determinants in Streptococcus agalactiae (Group B Streptococcus; GBS) was conducted. This study employed a cost-efficient methodology that integrates PCR with statistica...
Gallic acid (GA) is a value-added phenolic compound widely applied in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Traditionally obtained through chemical hydrolysis of tannins, its production faces limitations related to environmental impact,...
Vitrification has revolutionized oocyte and embryo cryopreservation in assisted reproductive technology, enabling the preservation of female fertility. It safeguards the reproductive potential of women facing medical treatments or elective delay of c...
Background: Severe intra-abdominal infections are a major cause of sepsis and septic shock in intensive care units (ICUs), with high mortality and heterogeneity. Identifying variables associated with mortality is essential for risk assessment in this...
Antimicrobial resistance threatens human and animal health, while the development of new antibacterial agents remains slow. Phage display can identify peptides and antibody fragments for bacterial targeting, antimicrobial engineering, antibiotic pote...
Skin-associated yeasts are involved in several skin disorders, while increasing resistance to conventional antifungal agents highlights the need for alternative therapeutic approaches. Essential oils (EOs) have attracted increasing scientific interes...
Antimicrobial resistance has become a major global health concern. In this context, the present study aimed to explore endophytic microorganisms from Emblica urinaria as a potential source of antimicrobial metabolites. E. urinaria samples were collec...
Physiological brain aging is driven by progressive neuro-glial-vascular remodeling, in which neurotransmitter systems serve as the core functional network integrating central resilience and peripheral systemic signaling. This narrative review provide...
Background: Extracellular vesicle (EV)-associated microRNAs (miRNAs) have been implicated in intercellular signaling processes relevant to bone regeneration; however, the regulatory relationships through which selected EV-associated miRNAs may conver...
Huanglongbing (HLB), caused by Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus (CLas), severely impairs photosynthesis and chloroplast function in citrus. However, Persian lime (Citrus latifolia) exhibits remarkable tolerance, maintaining productivity despite infe...
The 11th International Conference on Plasma Medicine (ICPM11), held jointly with the 10th International Workshop on Plasmas for Cancer Treatment (IWPCT10), took place from 31 May to 5 June 2026 in Gifu, Japan. The meeting brought together 225 scienti...
The poor regenerative capacity of articular cartilage and the limited efficacy of current treatments in restoring its extracellular matrix contribute to osteoarthritis. This study investigated an emerging approach using the secretome of mesenchymal s...
Fish-processing by-products represent a potential source of peptide-based plant biostimulants, but the relationships between peptide molecular characteristics and plant metabolic responses remain poorly defined. This study evaluated the effects of pe...
Authentication of commercial oregano products remains challenging because processing may hinder the identification of undeclared botanical species. In this study, a stepwise molecular approach integrating DNA mini-barcoding, species-specific real-tim...
The increasing incidence of fungal infections caused by Candida albicans and the multidrug-resistant emerging pathogen Candidozyma auris (formerly Candida auris) represents a major global healthcare challenge. Current antifungal therapies are limited...
Single-pulse transcranial magnetic stimulation (spTMS) is widely used to investigate human corticospinal and cortical physiology, yet individual physiological measures provide only partial information about cortical function. This systematic review a...
Cognitive frailty combines physical frailty with cognitive impairment without dementia, identifying older adults vulnerable to adverse outcomes. Candidate microbiome-related pathways in cognitive frailty include dysfunction of the intestinal epitheli...
Hilsa muscle biomass was hydrolyzed to recover bioactive proteins and peptides using subcritical water hydrolysis (SWH) with ultrasound pretreatment at various temperatures (150–250 °C) and pressures (40–80 bar). Hydrolysis yield was...
Water contamination by heavy metals is a major global concern resulting from anthropogenic activities and natural geological processes. Their removal and recovery are important for protecting water resources and addressing the depletion of critical m...
This study aimed to optimize pigment production from Monascus purpureus TISTR3090 using Khao Klong broken rice (brown rice) as a solid substrate and to evaluate the antioxidant and anti-aging activities of the resulting pigment extracts. Solid-state...
Macroalgae are a valuable source of bioactive substances, particularly phenolic compounds with antioxidant properties. However, conventional extraction methods frequently rely on non-GRAS solvents, limiting their applicability in food and nutraceutic...
Obesity is a global health threat, which continues to rise in prevalence worldwide, driving increases in related chronic diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular conditions. While the sheer scale of the crisis affects over a billion people...
