Differentially expressed serum proteins from obese Wistar rats as a risk factor for obesity-induced diseases
(Springer Nature, 2020)
Obesity is a chronic disease that negatively affects life expectancy through its association with life-threatening diseases such as cancer and cardiovascular diseases. Expression proteomics combined with in silico interaction ...
Applications of computational methods in biomedical breast cancer imaging diagnostics: A review
(Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (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 ...
Synthesis of biogenic gold nanoparticles from terminalia mantaly extracts and the evaluation of their in vitro cytotoxic effects in cancer cells
(MDPI, 202-09-12)
Scientists have demonstrated the potential of plant materials as 'green' reducing and stabilizing agents for the synthesis of gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) and opened new ecofriendly horizons to develop effective and less ...
Degradation of hydrocarbons and heavy metal reduction by marine bacteria in highly contaminated sediments
(MDPI, 2020)
Investigations on the ability of bacteria to enhance removal of hydrocarbons and reduce heavy metal toxicity in sediments are necessary to design more effective bioremediation strategies. In this study, five bacterial ...
Venom proteomic analysis of medically important Nigerian viper Echis ocellatus and Bitis arietans snake species
(Elsevier, 2021)
Snakebite envenoming remains a neglected tropical disease which poses severe health hazard, especially for the
rural inhabitants in Africa. In Nigeria, vipers are responsible for the highest number of deaths. Hydrophili ...
Aptamer-Based Diagnostic Systems for the Rapid Screening of TB at the Point-of-Care
(MDPI, 2021)
The transmission of Tuberculosis (TB) is very rapid and the burden it places on health care systems is felt globally. The effective management and prevention of this disease requires that it is detected early. Current TB ...
Stress modulation as a means to improve yeasts for lignocellulose bioconversion
(Springer, 2021)
The second-generation (2G) fermentation environment for lignocellulose conversion presents unique challenges to the fermentative organism that do not necessarily exist in other industrial fermentations. While extreme ...
Hypertension in African populations: Review and computational insights
(MPDI, 2021)
Hypertension (HTN) is a persistent public health problem affecting approximately 1.3 billion
individuals globally. Treatment-resistant hypertension (TRH) is defined as high blood pressure (BP)
in a hypertensive patient ...
Evaluation of the morpho-physiological, biochemical and molecular responses of contrasting medicago truncatula lines under water deficit stress
(MPDI, 2021)
Medicago truncatula is a forage crop of choice for farmers, and it is a model species for
molecular research. The growth and development and subsequent yields are limited by water availability mainly in arid and semi-arid ...
Indigenous African cereal crops can contribute to mitigation of the impact of climate change on food security
(Arid land institute, 2021)
Zea mays L. (maize) is one of the top three cultivated cereals globally, along with
wheat and rice. The United States, China, and Brazil are among the largest
producers of maize, producing approximately 79% of the world’s ...
