Chitosan nanoencapsulation of Turbinaria triquetra metabolites in the management of podocyturia in nephrotoxic rats.

Cisplatin is a chemotherapeutic drug, which exhibits undesirable side effects. Chitosan nanoparticles are promising for drug delivery. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the brown alga Turbinaria triquetra ethyl acetate fraction and polysaccharides, either loaded on chitosan nanoparticles or free, against podocyturia and cisplatin nephrotoxicity in rats.

The Role of the Plasminogen Activator Inhibitor 1 ( ) in Ovarian Cancer: Mechanisms and Therapeutic Implications.

Ovarian cancer (OC) is one among most significantly fatal gynecological cancers, with late-stage detection and an inadequate prognosis. Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 ( ) gene anticipates negative outcomes in many different kinds of malignancies. Several research investigations are currently being done to examine the biological role of in OC and the possible benefits of targeted pharmacotherapies.

Adaptation in landlocked Atlantic salmon links genetics in wild and farmed salmon to smoltification.

Increased knowledge of heritable traits in Atlantic Salmon (Salmo salar) is important to overcome bottlenecks in salmonid aquaculture. Atlantic salmonid populations, both landlocked and anadromous, represent an interesting model to gain insight into anadromy related traits, most notably, the probability to smoltify. While a previous study has identified several genomic regions diverging between anadromous and landlocked populations across the species range, the present study explores these data further with the aim to uncover if some of these genomic regions are linked to beneficial genetic traits associated with smoltification.

Draft genome sequence of sp. strain H4R21, an effective mineral-weathering bacterial strain isolated from the beech rhizosphere.

We present the draft genome sequence of sp. strain H4R21, isolated from the rhizosphere of in the forest experimental site of Montiers (France). This genome features coding capacity for plant growth promotion, such as the ability to solubilize minerals, to produce siderophores and antifungal secondary metabolites.

Etiology behind canine uterine inertia: Role of uterine expression of MLCK4, MYH2, and PKC genes.

Dystocia is an obstetrical emergency, and primary uterine inertia (PUI) is the major etiological reason among the more prevalent maternal causes in dogs. The present study involved the relative expression analysis of genes associated with myometrial contraction in medium-sized dog breeds with uterine inertia. Dogs without any progress in the parturition process even after four hours of the onset of labor and the absence of uterine contractions were considered to have complete primary uterine inertia (CPUI, n = 9).
