In the growing field of biotechnology, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a pivotal force of innovation, unveiling a new era of discovery and advancement. The convergence of AI with biotechnology has revolutionized the landscape of scientific research and development. The dynamic interplay between AI and biotechnology highlights the transf...

Mycoviruses are the viruses that infect fungi. The International Committee on the Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) categorizes mycoviruses into 23 viral families. Mycoviruses were discovered in the mushroom. For replication, they depend on their host, which includes plants and animals. The genomes of mycoviruses may contain double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) an...

Platelets are small anucleated cell fragments that ensure the stopping of bleeding. In blood metastasis of cancer, Platelets are essential. One of the most important aspects of cancer metastasis is the interaction between platelets and circulating tumor cells. Platelets are involved in cancer spread and constitute a hazardous collation with the can...

This study was designed to find the susceptibility of Nitrofurantoin and Fosfomycin among urinary isolates of Escherichia. coli. Four hundred (400) urine samples were collected for susceptibility of nitrofurantoin and fosfomycin among urinary isolates of E. coli. All indoor and outdoor patients' urinary samples yielded growth of E. coli. Mid-stream...

Nanotechnology has applications in various fields of medicine. The health and biomedical fields can apply nanotechnology to treatment and drug delivery, enabling the targeted and controlled delivery of drugs and therapeutic compounds. Normally, the body quickly metabolizes drugs upon their entry, potentially affecting their efficiency. Additionally...

Chilli is an important cash crop in Pakistan with immense health benefits and great export potential as it is imported by Western countries largely for utilization by the food industry. Aspergillus genus comprises soil-borne fungi with a few important pathogenic species that produce B1, B2, G1, and G2 types of aflatoxins. The B1 type aflatoxin is i...

Drought reduces major agricultural production, is responsible for food insecurity, and causes heavy yield loss. Like biotic factors such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, abiotic factors like temperature, cold salinity, and drought stress negatively impact crop production worldwide. Traditional breeding approaches along with genetic engineering have...

Background: Aflatoxins, primarily produced by Aspergillus species, significantly impact global economic and health sectors, contaminating key agricultural products such as maize, cotton, and groundnuts. These mycotoxins, particularly types B1 and B2, pose severe risks to animal and human health, leading to diseases like hepatic cellular carcinoma a...

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a metabolic condition that raises blood glucose levels (hyperglycemia) without insulin or insulin receptor defects. Insulin is a peptide hormone the pancreatic beta cells produce and controls blood glucose levels. The defective immune system engulfs the beta cells of the pancreas, causing no insulin production or the insul...

Plant tissue culture is a technique that enhances the quality and quantity of potatoes. Potatoes are a significant crop and are primarily used in the world. It is a staple food in many countries, where millions of tonnes are produced annually. It is an essential source of many nutrients, such as proteins, carbohydrates, vitamins, and beta-carotene....

Microorganisms have long been used to produce primary and secondary metabolites essential for human health and environmental sustainability. Due to their rapid growth and reproduction rates, as well as their ability to undergo genetic modifications, microorganisms play a critical role in the manufacturing industry. Probiotics, which are non-pathoge...

Rota virus that cause diarrhea and other diseases in small infants is belonging to a virus family called Reoviridae with death rate of about more than 200000 annually. Although many vaccines are available for Rotavirus infection but still primary reason of death among infants. To prevent infection caused by this virus as diarrhea and other gastroen...
