A Comprehensive Review of Mxene-Based Emerging Materials for Energy Storage Applications and Future Perspectives.

MXenes is a rapidly emerging class of two-dimensional (2D) materials. It exhibits unique properties that make it suitable for a wide range of applications. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the synthesis and processing techniques for MXenes including both bottom-up and top-down approaches.

Antiparasitic activity of Cerastes cerastes venom on Schistosoma mansoni infected mice‏.

This study investigates whether Cerastes cerastes venom (CCV) administrated at different doses (3 and 6μg/mouse) and times (a week pre-infection, the first week post-infection, and the fifth week post-infection) possesses antischistosomal activity on Schistosoma mansoni infected mice. The results showed that treatment with half lethal dose (6 μg/mouse) of CCV, at various time schedules, led to a significant decrease in the total worm burden. However, quarter lethal dose (3μg/mouse) of CCV showed a significant decrease in the total worm burden only when administered a week pre-infection.

Bulk T cell repertoire sequencing (TCR-Seq) is a powerful technology for understanding inflammation-mediated diseases.

Multiple alterations in the T cell repertoire were identified in many chronic inflammatory diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, multiple sclerosis, and rheumatoid arthritis, suggesting that T cells might, directly or indirectly, be implicated in these pathologies. This has sparked a deep interest in characterizing disease-associated T cell clonotypes as well as in identifying and quantifying their contribution to the pathophysiology of different autoimmune and inflammation-mediated diseases. Bulk T cell repertoire sequencing (TCR-Seq) has emerged as a powerful method to profile the T cell repertoire of a sample in a high throughput fashion.

Suppression of virulence factors of uropathogenic Escherichia coli by Trans-resveratrol and design of nanoemulgel.

Background: Development of multidrug resistance in Uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) makes treatment of Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) a major challenge. This study was conducted to investigate the effect of trans-resveratrol (t-RSV) at a subinhibitory concentration (sub-MIC-t-RSV) on phenotypic and genotypic expression of virulence factors of clinical isolates of UPEC and develop a nanoformulation of t-RSV. Fifty-five clinical UPEC strains were investigated for the presence of virulence factors by phenotypic methods and PCR detection of virulence genes.

Effects of dietary supplementation with Bacillus velezensis on the growth performance, body composition, antioxidant, immune-related gene expression, and histology of Pacific white shrimp, Litopenaeus vannamei.

In recent decades, probiotics have become an acceptable aquaculture strategy for shrimp growth promotion and immune modulation. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of Bacillus velezensis on Litopenaeus vannamei following a 60-day trial. L.
