Assessment of using heart of date palm as a new source of protein and carbohydrate on the quality of low-fat bio fermented camel milk and its potential anticancer properties.

The heart of date palm (HDP) is a nutrient-dense vegetable, rich in protein and carbohydrate, obtained from the core of palm trees. Carbohydrates are the major component of the heart of date palm, providing a quick source of energy and fiber content can help digestion and contribute to feeling of fullness, making it good addition to a balanced diet. The study investigated the potential of incorporating HDP into low-fat bio fermented camel milk (BCM).

Drying kinetics and thermo-environmental analysis of a PV-operated tracking indirect solar dryer for tomato slices.

The purpose of this study is to investigate how a tracking indirect solar dryer (SD) powered by photovoltaic cells affected the drying kinetics (DK) and thermo-environmental conditions of tomato slices. In this current investigation, three air speeds (1, 1.5, and 2 m/s) are used, as well as three slice thicknesses (ST) (4, 6, and 8 mm) and two SD, one of which is integrated with fixed collector motion (FCM) and another with SD tracking collector motion (TCM).

EGFR- and Integrin αβ-Targeting Peptides as Potential Radiometal-Labeled Radiopharmaceuticals for Cancer Theranostics.

The burgeoning field of cancer theranostics has witnessed advancements through the development of targeted molecular agents, particularly peptides. These agents exploit the overexpression or mutations of specific receptors, such as the Epidermal Growth Factor receptor (EGFR) and αβ integrin, which are pivotal in tumor growth, angiogenesis, and metastasis. Despite the extensive research into and promising outcomes associated with antibody-based therapies, peptides offer a compelling alternative due to their smaller size, ease of modification, and rapid bioavailability, factors which potentially enhance tumor penetration and reduce systemic toxicity.

Fabrication and characterization of Ti-12Mo/xAlO bio-inert composite for dental prosthetic applications.

Titanium (Ti)-molybdenum(Mo) composites reinforced with ceramic nanoparticles have recently significant interest among researchers as a new type of bio-inert material used for dental prosthetic applications due to its biocompatibility, outstanding physical, mechanical and corrosion properties. The current work investigates the impact of alumina (AlO) nanoparticles on the properties of the Ti-12Mo composite, including microstructure, density, hardness, wear resistance, and electrochemical behavior. Ti-12Mo/xAlO nanocomposites reinforced with different AlO nanoparticles content were prepared.
