Every industry now takes clean technology very seriously. Particularly in textile dying facilities, a lot of water, energy, dyeing colours, and chemicals are used. Significant issues with air and water pollution may result from this. The wastewater is quite colourful and smells poisonous. It also has high chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemica...

Autoimmune diseases are complex, chronic inflammatory conditions initiated by the loss of immunological tolerance to self-antigens. Nowadays, there is no effective and useful therapy for autoimmune diseases, and the existing medications have some limitations due to their nonspecific targets and side effects. During the last few decades, it has been...

The severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has the same sequence as SARS-CoV and has been reported with clinical symptoms similar to those of SARS-CoV and MERS-CoV. This study reviewed the neuro-invasive potential of SARS-CoV2 reported in various studies. We searched keywords containing COVID-19, coronavirus, respiratory infec...

Abstract: Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) occurs in approximately 5% of women. Despite an abundance of evidence, the molecular mechanism of RPL's pathology remains unclear. Here, we report the protective role of polo-like kinase 1 (PLK1) during RPL. We aimed to construct an RPL network utilizing GEO datasets and identified hub high-traffic genes. We...

Sensing drug substances by nanostructures are very important in accordance with the management of targeted drug delivery processes and drug substances detections. Boron nitride (BN), aluminum nitride (AlN), and gallium nitride (GaN) decorated carbon cage (BN-C, AlN-C, and GaN-C) scaffolds were assessed towards sensing the thiamazole (TMZ) drug thro...

A growing body of evidence has revealed that microRNA (miRNA) expression is dysregulated in cancer, and they can act as either oncogenes or suppressors under certain conditions. Furthermore, some studies have discovered that miRNAs play a role in cancer cell drug resistance by targeting drug-resistance-related genes or influencing genes involved in...

Background: Selenium is one of the compounds belonging to the trace minerals group, which needs less than 100 mg/day. This element is one of the main constituents of selenoproteins, and the function of selenoproteins is to help make DNA and protect cells from damage and infection. This experiment aimed to evaluate the effect of different sources of...

Heavy metals (HM) are among the elements that are rare in nature and threaten human health, animals, and the environment. Fix sources including (power plants, industries, homes) and mobile sources include (cars and motorcycles) are the main sources production and emission of HM. It is important to understand the main information about sources of em...

Food safety and spoilage are important concerns of the modern food sector. Therefore, it is highly demanded to identify, control, and remove persistent harmful and hazardous constituents from products. MXenes, are a class of two-dimensional (2D) compounds with unique physical and chemical features imparted in food safety standards. MXene-based nano...

The Internet of Things (IoT) is an essential selection help device for harvest crop prophecy, along with subsidiary conclusions on what plants to cultivate and what to do at some stage in the growing season of the vegetation. Several Internet of things algorithms were carried out to assist research on predicting agricultural yield. In instruction t...

A variety of mechanisms contribute to the occurrence and development of inflammatory atherosclerosis (IA), resulting in cardiovascular disease. PCSK9 (proprotein convertase subtilisin/ kexin type 9) has now been recognized as a key player in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Following PCSK9 activation, LDL receptors (LDLR) are degraded and as...

The protein p53 as a transcription factor with strong tumor suppressive activities is known to trigger apoptosis via multiple pathways and is directly involved in the recognition of DNA damage and DNA repair processes. P53 alteration is now recognized as a common event in the pathogenesis of many types of human malignancies. Deregulation of tumor s...

A crosstalk established between tumor microenvironment and tumor cells leads to contribution or inhibition of tumor progression. Mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are critical cells that fundamentally participate in modulation of the tumor microenvironment, and have been reported to be able to regulate and determine the final destination of tumor cell....

Structural variation (CNV) including deletion, duplication, displacement and reflection of chromosomes was identified in some individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but the full moral role is unknown. We evaluated the genome extensively for structural abnormalities in 427 unrelated ASD cases through monoclonal monoclonal arrays and a nucl...

Chitosan is a linear polysaccharide composed of randomly distributed β-(1→4) -linked D-Glucosamine (DE acetylated unit) and N-acetyl-D-Glucosamine (acetylated unit). It is made by treating the chitin shells of shrimp and other crustaceans with an alkaline substance, like sodium hydroxide. Chitosan has a number of commercial and possible biomedical...
