Int J Biol Macromol
December 2024
Article Synopsis
- The research focuses on using enzyme-hydrolysis of Acalypha hispida plant leaves to create nanocellulose, showcasing its eco-friendly and biocompatible benefits.
- The enzyme used, xylanase, was sourced from Bacillus pumilus and shown to effectively hydrolyze xylan, leading to the successful synthesis of enzyme-hydrolyzed nanocellulose (EHNC).
- The produced EHNC has desirable properties like small particle size (15-40 nm) and low production cost, indicating its potential for efficient and sustainable applications in advanced materials.
Background: Cardiac papillary fibroelastomas (CPFs) are benign endocardial tumours with embolic potential. This article is a systematic review to identify the clinical profile, diagnosis, tumour characteristics, and treatment modalities in patients with CPF presenting with stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA).
Methods: This systematic review was conducted using the PubMed and Embase databases, including case reports and/or series and observational studies (for a search period of up until April 2022).
HIV incidence among young people (Black and Latinx women and men who have sex with men ages 16-24 years), in the United States is high. Traditional top-down approaches for pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) social marketing are not effectively reaching this population. Crowdsourcing is a promising approach to engaging young people in the development of innovative solutions to raise awareness and use of PrEP among those at highest risk of HIV.
