Exploring the ameliorative potential of rutin against High-Sucrose Diet-induced oxidative stress and reproductive toxicity in Drosophila melanogaster.

Sucrose is a vital ingredient in numerous food items consumed regularly. However, exposure to excessive sucrose for a prolonged period can promote health issues. The reproductive system has a delicate physiology that can be targeted by various chemical stressors, including sucrose.

Unveiling the physical, behavioural, and biochemical effects of clothianidin on a non-target organism, Drosophila melanogaster.

Clothianidin is a novel neonicotinoid pesticide globally used in agriculture to enhance crop production. However, unintentional exposure to clothianidin via contaminated environmental matrices and food products can be detrimental to non-target organisms, including humans. Hence, to unravel the potential health risks at organismal and sub-organismal levels, first instar larvae of a non-target organism, Drosophila melanogaster, were exposed to sub-lethal concentrations (0.

The alarming link between environmental microplastics and health hazards with special emphasis on cancer.

Microplastic contamination is a burgeoning environmental issue that poses serious threats to animal and human health. Microplastics enter the human body through nasal, dermal, and oral routes to contaminate multiple organs. Studies have advocated the existence of microplastics in human breast milk, sputum, faeces, and blood.

Smart technology for mosquito control: Recent developments, challenges, and future prospects.

Smart technology coupled with digital sensors and deep learning networks have emerging scopes in various fields, including surveillance of mosquitoes. Several studies have been conducted to examine the efficacy of such technologies in the differential identification of mosquitoes with high accuracy. Some smart trap uses computer vision technology and deep learning networks to identify live Aedes aegypti and Culex quinquefasciatus in real time.

Chronic sub-lethal exposure to clothianidin triggers organismal and sub-organismal-level health hazards in a non-target organism, Drosophila melanogaster.

Neonicotinoids are among the most widely used systemic pesticides across the world. These chemicals have gathered significant attention for their potential adverse impacts on non-target organisms. Clothianidin is a novel neonicotinoid pesticide, employed globally to control sucking and chewing types of pests.

Contamination of textile dyes in aquatic environment: Adverse impacts on aquatic ecosystem and human health, and its management using bioremediation.

Textile dyes are the burgeoning environmental contaminants across the world. They might be directly disposed of from textile industries into the aquatic bodies, which act as the direct source for the entire ecosystem, ultimately impacting the human beings. Hence, it is essential to dissect the potential adverse outcomes of textile dye exposure on aquatic plants, aquatic fauna, terrestrial entities, and humans.

Breaking boundaries: Artificial intelligence for pesticide detection and eco-friendly degradation.

Pesticides are extensively used agrochemicals across the world to control pest populations. However, irrational application of pesticides leads to contamination of various components of the environment, like air, soil, water, and vegetation, all of which build up significant levels of pesticide residues. Further, these environmental contaminants fuel objectionable human toxicity and impose a greater risk to the ecosystem.

In Silico Analysis Reveals the Inhibitory Potential of Madecassic Acid against Entry Factors of SARS-CoV-2.

Coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) is the ongoing global health emergency caused by SARS-CoV-2 infection. The virus is highly contagious, affecting millions of people worldwide. SARS-CoV-2, with its trimeric spike glycoprotein, interacts with the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor and other co-receptors like basigin to invade the host cell.

Synergistic action of organophosphates and COVID-19 on inflammation, oxidative stress, and renin-angiotensin system can amplify the risk of cardiovascular maladies.

Organophosphates (OPs) are ubiquitous environmental contaminants, widely used as pesticides in agricultural fields. In addition, they serve as flame-retardants, plasticizers, antifoaming or antiwear agents in lacquers, hydraulic fluids, and floor polishing agents. Therefore, world-wide and massive application of these compounds have increased the risk of unintentional exposure to non-targets including the human beings.

In silico study reveals binding potential of rotenone at multiple sites of pulmonary surfactant proteins: A matter of concern.

Rotenone is a broad-spectrum pesticide employed in various agricultural practices all over the world. Human beings are exposed to this chemical through oral, nasal, and dermal routes. Inhalation of rotenone exposes bio-molecular components of lungs to this chemical.

Immunotoxic role of organophosphates: An unseen risk escalating SARS-CoV-2 pathogenicity.

Consistent gathering of immunotoxic substances on earth is a serious global issue affecting people under pathogenic stress. Organophosphates are among such hazardous compounds that are ubiquitous in nature. They fuel oxidative stress to impair antiviral immune response in living entities.
