LncRNA-miRNA-mRNA regulatory axes as potential biomarkers in cervical cancer: a comprehensive overview.

Despite the recent advances in vaccination and treatment strategies, cervical cancer continues to claim numerous lives every year. Owing to the fact that non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) such as long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) and microRNAs (miRNAs) interact with coding transcripts, and effectuate key roles in the tumorigenesis and metastasis of cervical cancer, there has been extensive research in recent years to explore their potential as biomarkers for early detection, or as therapeutic targets. Through this review, we aim to provide a comprehensive overview of the recent advancements in discoveries about cervical cancer-associated lncRNA-miRNA-mRNA axes, their dysregulation, and their roles in various signaling pathways associated with the growth, survival, invasion, and metastasis of cervical cancer cells.

Cold-active lipase from Psychrobacter alimentarius ILMKVIT and its application in selective enrichment of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids in flax seed oil.

Lipases are one of the ubiquitous enzymes that belong to the hydrolases family and have a wide variety of applications. Cold-active lipases are of major attraction as they can act in lower temperatures and low water conditions because of their inherent greater flexibility. One of the novel applications of lipase is the enrichment of ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) in plant and fish oils.

Phytomediated synthesis of WO nanoparticles using fruit extract for enhanced photocatalytic activity of 2,4-dichlorophenol.

In the present study, bio-citric acid/tungsten oxide (WO) (BCAWO) nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by using fruit extract as a reducing as well as a capping agent. The photocatalysts were characterized by UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy, powder X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry (EDS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, and photoluminescence spectroscopy techniques. Diffraction peaks in the XRD spectrum were identified as the crystal planes of crystalline tungsten oxide.

Effects of Slow Breathing Exercises on Cardiac Autonomic Functions in Anxiety Disorder-A Randomised Control Trial.

Background: Anxiety disorders are commonly associated with a higher risk of fatal cardiovascular diseases (CVD). Anxiety disorders lead to dysregulation of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, thus weakening the key neuronal components of the autonomic nervous system (ANS) that are involved in cardiovascular functions, leading to increased cardiovascular risk.

Purpose: Impaired ANS activity, as reduced parasympathetic tone is strongly associated with an increased risk of CVD in anxiety disorders.
