Hypoglycaemic activity of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles in alloxan-induced diabetic Wister rats
(Wiley, 2023)
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic disorder that affects the body's ability to produce or use insulin. This study evaluated the hypoglycaemic activity of biosynthesized copper oxide nanoparticles (CuO-NPs) ...
Reports of plant-derived nanoparticles for prostate cancer therapy
(MDPI, 2023)
Plants have demonstrated potential in providing various types of phytomedicines with
chemopreventive properties that can combat prostate cancer. However, despite their promising
in vitro activity, the incorporation of ...
Microbiome enrichment from contaminated marine sediments unveils novel bacterial strains for petroleum hydrocarbon and heavy metal bioremediation
(Elsevier, 2023)
Petroleum hydrocarbons and heavy metals are some of the most widespread contaminants affecting marine
ecosystems, urgently needing effective and sustainable remediation solutions. Microbial-based bioremediation is
gaining ...
Whole-genome sequencing of African swine fever virus from wild boars in the Kaliningrad region reveals unique and distinguishing genomic mutations
(Frontiers Media, 2023)
Since the first report of outbreaks of African swine fever (ASF)
in Georgia in 2007, the disease has expanded into Europe, Russia, and Asia,
spreading rapidly via contact with infected animals including domestic pigs
and ...
Increasing extracellular cellulase activity of the recombinant Saccharomyces cerevisiae by engineering cell wall-related proteins for improved consolidated processing of carbon neutral lignocellulosic biomass
(Elsevier, 2022)
Sustainable bioproduction using carbon neutral feedstocks, especially lignocellulosic biomass, has attracted
increasing attention due to concern over climate change and carbon reduction. Consolidated bioprocessing (CBP)
of ...
Analysis of the differentially expressed proteins and metabolic pathways of honeybush (cyclopia subternata) in response to water deficit stress
(MDPI, 2023)
Honeybush (Cyclopia spp.) is a rich source of antioxidant properties and phenolic compounds. Water availability plays a crucial role in plant metabolic processes, and it contributes to overall quality. Thus, this study ...
Sustainable agriculture through the enhancement of microbial biocontrol agents: Current challenges and new perspectives
(MDPI, 2023)
The future of pesticide usage in agriculture is uncertain due to its unsustainability, adverse
environmental impacts, and its association in enhanced phytopathogen resistance. Hence, this
situation urges the development ...
Descriptive epidemiology of and response to the high pathogenicity avian influenza (h5n8) epidemic in South African coastal seabirds, 2018
(Wiley, 2023)
High pathogenicity avian infuenza (HPAI) clade 2.3.4.4b H5N8 virus was detected in coastal seabirds in late 2017 in South Africa,
following a devastating epidemic in the commercial poultry and ostrich industries. By May ...
