Applications of Computational Methods in Biomedical Breast Cancer Imaging Diagnostics: A Review
(MDPI, 2020)
With the exponential increase in new cases coupled with an increased mortality rate, cancer has ranked as the second most prevalent cause of death in the world. Early detection is paramount for suitable diagnosis and ...
Multifunctional Gold Nanoparticles for Improved Diagnostic and Therapeutic Applications: A Review
(Springer Open, 2021)
The medical properties of metals have been explored for centuries in traditional medicine for the treatment of infections
and diseases and still practiced to date. Platinum-based drugs are the first class of metal-based ...
Antibacterial activity of biogenic silver and gold nanoparticles synthesized from Salvia africana-lutea and Sutherlandia frutescens
(Nanotechnology, 2020)
Nanoparticles (NPs) synthesized using various chemical and physical methods are often cytotoxic which restricts their use in biomedical applications. In contrast, metallic biogenic NPs synthesized using biological systems ...
Antibacterial activity of rationally designed antimicrobial peptides.
(Hindawi, 2020)
Many infectious diseases are still prevalent in the world’s populations since no effective treatments are available to eradicate them.
e reasons may either be the antibiotic resistance towards the available therapeutic ...
Synthesis and cytotoxic evaluation of gum arabic surface modified cadmium telluride quantum dots
(American Scientific Publishers, 2020)
Water-soluble cadmium telluride (CdTe) quantum dots (QDs) were capped with gum Arabic (GA) is a non-toxic,
water-soluble glycoprotein polymer commonly used in the food and pharmaceutical industries. The GA was
used to ...

Cross-sectional study of prevalence and determinants of uncontrolled hypertension among South African adult residents of Mkhondo municipality
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Achieving the blood pressure treatment target in individuals with hypertension is a serious global health challenge. Furthermore, the actual burden of uncontrolled hypertension is poorly understood, especially in the ...
Decoding heavy metal stress signalling in plants: Towards improved food security and safety
(MDPI, 2020)
The mining of heavy metals from the environment leads to an increase in soil pollution, leading to the uptake of heavy metals into plant tissue. The build-up of toxic metals in plant cells often leads to cellular damage ...
Dietary effects of antimicrobial peptides in therapeutics
(Taylor & Francis, 2020-02-17)
The notable increase in drug-resistant infections and the failure of the most potent antibiotics to establish their curative effect without side effect have presented a serious need for the discovery of new therapeutic ...
Apoptosis in cancer cells is induced by alternative splicing of hnrnpa2/b1 through splicing of bcl-x, a mechanism that can be stimulated by an extract of the South African medicinal plant, cotyledon orbiculata
(Frontiers Media S.A., 2020)
Alternative splicing is deregulated in cancer and alternatively spliced products can be linked to cancer hallmarks. Targeting alternative splicing could offer novel effective cancer treatments. We investigated the effects ...
