Because of resistance development by cancer cells against current anticancer drugs, there is a considerable interest in developing novel antitumor agents. We have previously demonstrated that CIGB-552, a novel cell-penet...

This study was conducted in the animal farm of the College of Agricultural Engineering Sciences/ University of  Baghdad/ Iraq, from 23 march 2014 to 23 may 2014 to investigate the effect of  two levels of roughage to c...

Ganoderic acids (GAs), the major lanostane-type triterpenoids in Ganoderma lucidum (G. lucidum), possess diverse pharmacological activities but are produced at low levels, limiting their applications. Transcriptional reg...

Abstract Psammochloa villosa is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to tribe Stipeae (Poaceae). It is mainly distributed in the arid and sandy Inner Mongolia Plateau and adjacent areas, demonstrating remarkable resili...

Metasurface is a recently developed nanophotonics concept to manipulate the properties of light by replacing conventional bulky optical components with ultrathin (more than 104 times thinner) flat optical components. Sin...

Abstract Background Current bone tissue engineering scaffolds face challenges such as inadequate mechanical support, limited biocompatibility, and suboptimal osteogenesis for treating critical-sized bone defects. This st...

Biologic therapeutics have transformed the treatment of chronic and life-threatening diseases, yet their clinical use depends almost entirely on parenteral administration. Oral delivery is the preferred route for patient...

Abstract Background The efficient bioconversion of lignocellulosic hydrolysates to xylitol is hampered by inhibitors such as acetic acid and furfural. This study investigated the response mechanisms of two engineered xyl...

Black seed (Nigella sativa L.) is an internationally important oil crop, field experiment was carried out at two locations in Erbil province, Kurdistan region-Iraq, at Grdarasha Research Field, Collage of Agricultural En...

Abstract Rapid population growth and a corresponding increase in the demand for animal-derived proteins have led to food supply challenges and the need for alternative and sustainable meat production methods. Therefore, ...

A method development aimed for high-throughput and automated antibody screening holds great potential for areas ranging from fundamental molecular interactions to the discovery of novel disease markers, therapeutic targe...

ABSTRACT Cells rely on surface receptors to sense and initiate signalling cascades essential for numerous cellular processes, but engineering of synthetic genetic circuits to sense and rewire receptor activities for user...

Abstract Background The ability to guide stem cells toward the bone-forming lineage is a fundamental aspect of regenerative medicine. Conventional protocols for osteogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells typica...

Abstract Background Gas-phase bioprocesses that immobilize microbial cells on solid carriers enable efficient conversion of volatile or poorly water-soluble substrates. Acinetobacter sp. Tol 5 is a highly adhesive bacter...

Timely prediction of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admission at hospital arrival is critical for clinical decision-making, resource allocation, and patient management, particularly during large-scale health crises such as th...

Maintaining a balanced diet is essential for overall well-being, yet many individuals face challenges in meal planning due to time constraints, limited nutritional knowledge, and difficulty aligning meals with personal d...

Abstract The sustainable production of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from renewable biowaste would reduce environmental burden and expand green nanotechnology applications. This study reports a hydrothermal extraction rou...

In this investigation, differently shaped and surface functionalized TiO2 anatase nanoparticles and human serum albumin (HSA) were selected to study protein- nanoparticles interaction both in a solution and on flat surfa...

Colorectal cancer (CRC) ranks third in incidence among all malignancies and is highly lethal in advanced stages. Combination chemotherapy regimens based on 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) remain the mainstay of colorectal cancer t...

Amyloids constitute a class of protein and protein fragments believed to be involved in the pathologies associated with Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and Creutzfeldt‐ Jakob diseases. These proteins can self‐assemble i...

Abstract Background Signaling molecules play a critical role in regulating stem cell-mediated bone regeneration. In this study, we investigated the effect of EphB4 gene transfection on the osteogenic differentiation and ...

The utilization of fish processing by-products represents an important strategy to improve production efficiency and support zero-waste principles. Milkfish (Chanos chanos) bone by-products, generated from deboned milkfi...

Comparative protein modeling is increasingly gaining interest since it is of great assistance during the rational design of mutagenesis experiments. The availability of this method, and the resulting models, has however ...
