Molecular monitoring of insecticide resistance in major disease vectors in Armenia

Abstract Background Armenia is considered particularly vulnerable to life-threatening vector-borne diseases (VBDs) including malaria, West Nile virus disease and leishmaniasis. However, information relevant for the control of the vectors of...

Challenges in myeloperoxidase quantification: the inadequacies of current colorimetric approaches

Classical Biological Control of Invasive Legacy Crop Pests: New Technologies Offer Opportunities to Revisit Old Pest Problems in Perennial Tree Crops

Advances in scientific disciplines that support classical biological control have provided “new tools” that could have important applications for biocontrol programs for some long-established invasive arthropod pests. We suggest that these ...

Unrevealing the dual role of paired box and sex determining region Y related high mobility group box in glioblastoma

Abstract This narrative review summarises glioblastoma (GBM), a very frequent invasive kind of brain tumour in the elderly that is extremely aggressive, resistant to treatment, and has a bad prognosis because of its substantial genetic and ...

Low Pathogenic Avian Influenza H9N2 Viruses in Morocco: Antigenic and Molecular Evolution from 2021 to 2023

Avian influenza viruses pose significant threats to both the poultry industry and public health worldwide. Among them, the H9N2 subtype has gained substantial attention due to its high prevalence, especially in Asia, the Middle East, and Af...

Extracellular vesicles derived from mesenchymal stromal cells mitigate intestinal toxicity in a mouse model of acute radiation syndrome

Abstract Background Human exposure to high doses of radiation resulting in acute radiation syndrome and death can rapidly escalate to a mass casualty catastrophe in the event of nuclear accidents or terrorism. The primary reason is that the...

Glycosylation of Epigallocatechin Gallate by Engineered Glycoside Hydrolases from <i>Talaromyces amestolkiae</i>: Potential Antiproliferative and Neuroprotective Effect of These Molecules

Glycoside hydrolases (GHs) are enzymes that hydrolyze glycosidic bonds, but some of them can also catalyze the synthesis of glycosides by transglycosylation. However, the yields of this reaction are generally low since the glycosides formed...

Protocol to induce de novo lipid droplets in Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Summary: The mechanisms underlying lipid droplet (LD) biogenesis in the endoplasmic reticulum are not completely understood. Here, we present a protocol for inducing de novo LDs containing either triacylglycerol (TAG) or sterol esters (SE) ...

Molecular Biology and Biotechnology

One of the exciting aspects of being involved in the field of molecular biology is the ever-accelerating rate of progress, both in the development of new methodologies and the practical applications of these methodologies. This popular text...

The evolution of molecular biology into systems biology

Computational Molecular Biology

In one of the first major texts in the emerging field of computational molecular biology, Pavel Pevzner covers a broad range of algorithmic and combinatorial topics and shows how they are connected to molecular biology and to biotechnology....

Tunable Piezophotonic Effect on Core-Shell Nanoparticles Prepared by Laser Ablation in Liquids under External Voltage

We report an experimental study on the piezophotonic effect of gold and lead zirconate titanate (PbZrTiO3) nanoparticles (NPs) and also their core-shell nanostructures prepared by the laser ablation in liquid method. To obtain these NPs and...

Innovative green niosomal piperlongumine as a novel topical treatment for dermatophytosis in guinea pigs model

Abstract Dermatophytosis is a common superficial fungal infection that affects many people worldwide. Although various species of dermatophytes respond to common antifungal drugs, the recently identified Trichophyton indotineae isolates hav...

Targeting Inflammation With Nanosized Drug Delivery Platforms in Cardiovascular Diseases: Immune Cell Modulation in Atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a disorder of large and medium-sized arteries; it consists in the formation of lipid-rich plaques in the intima and inner media, whose pathophysiology is mostly driven by inflammation. Currently available interventio...

Graphene Quantum Dots Modified with Metformin/Co(II) as Efficient Oxidation Catalyst

While one of the valuable approaches to obtaining a heterogeneous catalyst is supporting them on a high surface area supports, the strategy mainly suffers from the low number of chelating agents on most of the supports to grip the metal cat...

The miRNA neuroinflammatory biomarkers in COVID-19 patients with different severity of illness

Introduction: The expression of specific miRNAs and their mRNA targets are changed in infectious disease. The aim of this study was to analyze the expression of pro-neuroinflammatory miRNAs, anti-neuroinflammatory miRNAs, and their mRNA tar...

A Competitive Design and Material Consideration for Fabrication of Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell Bipolar Plates

The bipolar plate is one of the most significant components of a polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell, and contributes substantially to the cost structure and the weight of the stacks. A number of graphite polymer composites with di...

Elastic modulus of β-Ga2O3 nanowires measured by resonance and three-point bending techniques

Due to the recent interest in ultrawide bandgap β-Ga2O3 thin films and nanostructures for various electronics and UV device applications, it is important to understand the mechanical properties of Ga2O3 nanowires (NWs). In this work, we inv...

Diffusion and surface alloying of gradient nanostructured metals

Gradient nanostructures (GNSs) have been optimized in recent years for desired performance. The diffusion behavior in GNS metals is crucial for understanding the diffusion mechanism and relative characteristics of different interfaces that ...
