Article Synopsis
  • Auxetic structures, which expand laterally when stretched, were studied for their unique mechanical properties, showcasing the effects of geometric adjustments on their behavior.
  • The research involved creating fifty unique models by varying parameters like angle, side length, and overlap, identifying how these modifications influenced the Poisson's ratio ranging from -0.43 to -1.78.
  • A neural network model was used to predict the Poisson's ratio based on these geometric changes, revealing significant variations in auxetic behavior linked to specific adjustments, such as an impressive 202.8% change in response to width and overlap modifications.

Resveratrol (Res), a polyphenolic compound that exerts mitigating consequences against various insults due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties. Sulfoxaflor (SFX), a neonicotinoid insecticide, has been used worldwide and leading to deleterious effects on the environment and public health. The current study aimed to investigate the protective effect of Res on the inflammatory response and oxidative stress induced by SFX in the thymus and spleen of rats.

Background: Amygdalin (Vitamin B-17) is a naturally occurring vitamin found in the seeds of the fruits of Prunus Rosacea family including apricot, bitter almond, cherry, and peach.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of amygdalin with and without zinc on hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cell line.

Methods: MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of amygdalin without zinc, amygdalin + 20μmol zinc, and amygdalin + 800μmol zinc on HepG2 cell lines.
