Dietary Sources, Stabilization, Health Benefits, and Industrial Application of Anthocyanins-A Review.

Natural phytochemicals are well known to protect against numerous metabolic disorders. Anthocyanins are vacuolar pigments belonging to the parent class of flavonoids. They are well known for their potent antioxidant and gut microbiome-modulating properties, primarily responsible for minimizing the risk of cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, obesity, neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and several other diseases associated with metabolic syndromes.

Immunological consequences of compromised ocular immune privilege accelerate retinal degeneration in retinitis pigmentosa.

Background: Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary retinal disease which leads to visual impairment. The onset and progression of RP has physiological consequences that affects the ocular environment. Some of the key non-genetic factors which hasten the retinal degeneration in RP include oxidative stress, hypoxia and ocular inflammation.

Transgene-free genome editing supports CCD4 role as a negative regulator of β-carotene in banana.

This study aims to understand the regulatory mechanism of the β-carotene homeostasis by establishing transgene-free genome editing in banana. Carotenoid cleavage dioxygenases (CCDs) belong to a miniature gene family having an imperative role in the intricated carotenoid metabolism in plants. Here, the expression pattern of multiple CCDs was correlated with the levels of carotenoid accumulation in two contrasting cultivars, viz.

Experimental animal modelling for pressure injury: A systematic review.

Introduction: Pressure injury (PI) is a potentially serious condition that is often a consequence of other medical illnesses. It remains a challenge for the clinicians and the researcher to fully understand and develop a technique for comprehending pathogenicity, prevention and treatment. Several animal models have been created to understand the multifaceted cellular and biochemical processes of PI.
