Comparative study of the antioxidant constituents, activities and the gc-ms quantification and identification of fatty acids of four selected helichrysum species
(MDPI, 2022)
Helichrysum Mill. (Asteraceae) is a plant genus comprising distinctively of aromatic plants
of about 500–600 species. Since most of these plants have not been previously studied, extensive
profiling helps to validate ...
Functional landscape of SARS-CoV-2 cellular restriction
(Cell Press, 2021)
A deficient interferon (IFN) response to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection has been implicated as a determinant of severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). To identify the molecular ...
Effect of maternal cigarette smoking and alcohol consumption during pregnancy on birth weight and cardiometabolic risk factors in infants, children and adolescents: A systematic review protocol
(BMC, 2022)
Tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption
during pregnancy are particularly prevalent in low
socioeconomic status populations, with an adverse
association with birth outcomes and cardiometabolic
risk factors. However, ...
Interventions to reduce pesticide exposure from the agricultural sector in Africa: A workshop report
(MDPI, 2022)
Despite the fact that several cases of unsafe pesticide use among farmers in different parts
of Africa have been documented, there is limited evidence regarding which specific interventions are
effective in reducing ...
The flexible, extended coil of the pdz-binding motif of the three deadly human coronavirus e proteins plays a role in pathogenicity
(MDPI, 2022)
The less virulent human (h) coronaviruses (CoVs) 229E, NL63, OC43, and HKU1 cause
mild, self-limiting respiratory tract infections, while the more virulent SARS-CoV-1, MERS-CoV, and
SARS-CoV-2 have caused severe outbreaks. ...
The Ism between endothelial cilia and endothelial nanotubules is an evolving concept in the genesis of the BBB
(MDPI, 2022)
The blood–brain barrier (BBB) is fundamental in maintaining central nervous system (CNS)
homeostasis by regulating the chemical environment of the underlying brain parenchyma. Brain
endothelial cells (BECs) constitute ...

The effects of in utero exposure to teratogens on organ size: A prospective paediatric study
(Cambridge University Press, 2021)
In low-income countries, prospective data on combined effects of in utero teratogen exposure
are lacking and necessitates new research. The aim of the present study was to explore the effect
of in utero teratogen exposure ...
Exosomes form tunneling nanotubes (TUNTs) in the blood-brain barrier: A nano-anatomical perspective of barrier genesis
(Frontiers Media, 2022)
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is a robust interface between the blood
and the central nervous system. Barrier type endothelium is able to limit
paracellular (PC) movement, relegating molecular flux to the transendothel ...
