The Emerging Role of Nanomedicine in the Management of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: A State-of-the-Art Review

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common chronic liver disease that can lead to end-stage liver disease needing a liver transplant. Many pharmacological approaches are used to reduce the disease progression in NAFLD. However, cu...

The Effect of In Vitro Digestion on Polyphenolic Compounds and Antioxidant Properties of Sorghum (<i>Sorghum bicolor</i> (L.) Moench) and Sorghum-Enriched Pasta

The phenol content of sorghum is a unique feature among all cereal grains; hence this fact merits the special attention of scientists. It should be remembered that before polyphenols can be used in the body, they are modified within the dig...

Synthesis of 9-arylalkynyl- and 9-aryl-substituted benzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives by Palladium-mediated cross-coupling reactions

9-Arylbenzo[b]quinolizinium derivatives were prepared with base-free Suzuki–Miyaura coupling reactions between benzo[b]quinolizinium-9-trifluoroborate and selected benzenediazonium salts. In addition, the Sonogashira coupling reaction betwe...

Mechanism for rapid growth of organic–inorganic halide perovskite crystals

Single crystals of lead halide perovskites exhibit good optoelectronic properties. Here, the authors study and deduce the mechanism for crystallisation and show how controlling dissolution of colloids through varying the acidity and tempera...

Seaweed-Derived Sulfated Polysaccharides as Potential Agents for Prevention and Treatment of Influenza and COVID-19

The review presents materials describing the seaweed-derived sulfated polysaccharides (SPS) as potential means for prevention and treatment of viral diseases of the respiratory tract, mainly influenza and COVID-19. The literature materials o...

Dataset for the dimethyl sulfoxide as a novel thermodynamic inhibitor of carbon dioxide hydrate formation

The temperatures and pressures of the three-phase equilibrium V-Lw-H (gas – aqueous solution – gas hydrate) were measured in the CO2 – H2O – dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) system at concentrations of organic solute in the aqueous phase up to 50 ...

Bioremediation of Persistent Organic Pollutant—Oxybenzone with <i>Pleurotus djamor</i>

Oxybenzone, a common sunscreen ingredient, has been widely detected in various environmental matrices, posing significant ecological and health risks. The present study demonstrates, for the first time, the capacity of Pleurotus djamor to d...

Anti-Tick-Borne Encephalitis Virus Activity of Novel Uridine Glycoconjugates Containing Amide or/and 1,2,3-Triazole Moiety in the Linker Structure

Tick-borne encephalitis virus (TBEV) transmitted by ticks is a pathogen of great medical importance. As still no effective antiviral treatment is available, in the present study, a series of uridine glycoconjugates containing amide or/and 1...

Selective green removal of arsenic from wet-process phosphoric acid using marine-derived Neptune ball Fibres

Abstract Phosphoric acid is the second most widely produced mineral acid worldwide and is predominantly manufactured via the wet process. However, wet-process phosphoric acid (WPPA) contains significant levels of dissolved and suspended imp...

A Novel Peptide Antibiotic Produced by Streptomyces roseoflavus Strain INA-Ac-5812 With Directed Activity Against Gram-Positive Bacteria

In this work, we report the isolation and detailed functional characterization for the new non-ribosomally synthesized antibiotic 5812-A/C, which was derived from metabolites of Streptomyces roseoflavus INA-Ac-5812. According to its chemica...

Antioxidant, Wound Healing Potential and In Silico Assessment of Naringin, Eicosane and Octacosane

1. Diabetic chronic wounds, mainly foot ulcers, constitute one of the most common complications of poorly managed diabetes mellitus. The most typical reasons are insufficient glycemic management, latent neuropathy, peripheral vascular disea...

Lithium(I)-Incorporated Tetranuclear Dysprosium(III) Complexes with Single-Molecule Magnetic and Luminous Properties.

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...

Motion-Compensated PET Image Reconstruction via Separable Parabolic Surrogates

The effective resolution of positron emission tomography (PET) can be significantly degraded by patient motion during data acquisition. This is especially true in the thorax due to respiratory motion. This study concentrates on the improvem...

Flexoelectricity Modulated Electron Transport of 2D Indium Oxide

Abstract The phenomenon of flexoelectricity, wherein mechanical deformation induces alterations in the electron configuration of metal oxides, has emerged as a promising avenue for regulating electron transport. Leveraging this mechanism, s...
