Although CH…O hydrogen bonds are generally very weak, here investigated CH…O interactions of coordinated 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) are very frequent and quite strong. In the crystal structures from the Cambridge Structural Database, 83...

Physical exercise is a potent non-pharmacological strategy for the prevention and management of chronic non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, obesity, and certain cancers. Growing evidence demonstrates...

Natural alkaloids derived from edible and medicinal plants have recently gained attention as bioactive molecules capable of modulating neuroinflammatory processes. Arecoline, the major alkaloid constituent of Areca catechu L. (betel nut), is well kno...

Artemisinin (ART) production faces bottlenecks due to low and variable yields from its natural source, Artemisia annua. This limitation, coupled with expanding therapeutic potential beyond malaria, highlights the need for innovative production soluti...

Perinatal asphyxia (PA) remains a common cause of neonatal death and long-term disability, with an incidence of 20 per 1000 live births. Even mild PA, without significant neurological distress at birth, is linked to neurodevelopmental disorders. Prem...

Managing bacterial infections and the spread of microbial resistance is one of the most critical and complex tasks of modern healthcare infrastructures. Antiseptics and disinfectants such as biocides play a significant role in controlling microbial r...

Multiple sclerosis (MS), the most prevalent chronic inflammatory, demyelinating and neurodegenerative disease of the central nervous system in young adults, exhibits marked sexual dimorphism, with a 3:1 female-to-male ratio, but more severe symptoms...

Paenibacillus has attracted considerable scientific and practical attention in recent years owing to its diverse biological characteristics and extensive range of applications. Its applicability spans multiple fields, including agriculture, medicine,...

The therapeutic clotting factor VIII (FVIII) is known for its particular immunogenicity, with nearly 30% of hemophilic patients developing neutralizing antibodies against the infused protein. The root cause of this immunogenicity is still not well un...

Tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) are abundant in the tumor microenvironment (TME) and often adopt an M2-like immunosuppressive phenotype that promotes tumor growth. Reprogramming TAMs toward an M1-like pro-inflammatory state is an attractive thera...
