Collagen Alpha 1(XI) Amino-Terminal Domain Modulates Type I Collagen Fibril Assembly.

The amino-terminal domain of collagen α1(XI) plays a key role in controlling fibrillogenesis. However, the specific mechanisms through which various isoforms of collagen α1(XI) regulate this process are not fully understood. We measured the kinetics of collagen type I self-assembly in the presence of specific collagen α1(XI) isoforms.

BDMANGO: An image dataset for identifying the variety of mango based on the mango leaves.

In the field of agriculture, particularly within the context of machine learning applications, quality datasets are essential for advancing research and development. To address the challenges of identifying different mango leaf types and recognizing the diverse and unique characteristics of mango varieties in Bangladesh, a comprehensive and publicly accessible dataset titled "BDMANGO" has been created. This dataset includes images essential for research, featuring six mango varieties: Amrapali, Banana, Chaunsa, Fazli, Haribhanga, and Himsagar, which were collected from different locations.

Does women empowerment alone influence contraception utilization in Bangladesh perspective? Findings from the 2017-2018 Demographic Health Survey using a structural equation model analysis.

Background: Women empowerment is a crucial issue that is less studied as a factor of contraceptive use among married women that helps to achieve sustainable development goals.

Objective: This study aimed to assess the relationship between women empowerment and contraceptive use.

Study Design: This cross-sectional study used 2017-2018 Bangladesh Demographic and Health Survey data, which included 12,006 women (weighted) aged 15 to 49 years.

Managing pre and postpartum mental health issues of refugee women from fragile and conflict-affected countries: A systematic review.

Objective: Refugee or immigrant women residing in conflict prone countries portray elevated mental health related vulnerabilities during their peripartum periods and require effective interventions for improved maternal and child well-being. The objective of this systematic review is to generate evidence on effective interventions for managing peripartum mental health issues among refugee women from conflicted settings.

Study Design: Systematic review.

Concurrent targeted delivery of doxorubicin and curcumin to the cancer cells using simple and versatile ligand-installed multifaceted chitosan-based nanoconjugates.

Existing chemotherapeutic approaches against refractory cancers are ineffective due to off-target effects, inefficient delivery, and inadequate accumulation of anticancer drugs at the tumor site, which causes limited efficiency of drug treatment and toxicity to neighboring healthy cells. The development of nano-based drug delivery systems (DDSs) with the goal of delivering desired therapeutic doses to the diseased cells and has already proven to be a promising strategy to address these challenges. Our study focuses on achieving an efficient tumor-targeted delivery of a combination of drugs for therapeutic benefits by developing a versatile DDS by following a simple one-step chemical approach.
