Article Synopsis
- Abnormal uterine bleeding (AUB) significantly impacts women's health and is associated with genetic factors; this study aimed to investigate the link between specific genes (PTGFR, MMP9, MMP2, TGFB3, and VEGFB) and AUB.
- The study involved blood samples from 212 AUB patients and healthy controls, using qPCR analysis to evaluate gene expression across different demographic groups.
- Results showed that gene expression was generally downregulated in AUB patients, with variations based on bleeding duration, history of miscarriage, and body weight, suggesting these genes may serve as potential biomarkers for early AUB diagnosis.

For crop seed production, the development of anthers and male fertility are the main agronomic traits and key biological processes for flowering plants. Active DNA demethylation regulates many plant developmental processes and is ensured by 5-meC DNA glycosylase enzymes. To find out the role of , gene editing mutants were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

Active DNA demethylation regulates plant developmental processes and is ensured by cytosine methylation (5-meC) DNA glycosylase enzymes. To find out the role of in seed development, the null mutant of was generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system.

In the present study, 11 bacterial strains isolated from industrial waste were screened under different concentrations of cadmium (Cd) (100 µM and 200 µM). Among 11 strains, the Cd tolerant (SD) strain was selected for and studies.

Wild barley is highly specialized to grow under severe environmental conditions of Tibet and is well-known for its diverse germplasm with high tolerance to abiotic stresses. The present study focused on determining the profile of the expression of isoforms of the gene in 36 wild and two cultivated barley under salt stress.

The highest mortality rate has been observed in the case of ovarian cancer. To treat ovarian cancer, an immune-informatics approach was used to design a multi-epitope vaccine (MEV) structure.

- Salinity is a significant environmental stress that reduces growth and productivity in soybean plants, which are crucial for global agriculture.
- The study found that sodium nitroprusside (SNP), a donor of nitric oxide, can enhance the plant's resistance to salinity by improving key growth and physiological parameters such as root and shoot length, biomass, and chlorophyll content.
- SNP treatment also positively affected various antioxidant enzyme activities and reduced cell damage, suggesting that it plays a vital role in repairing cell structures and maintaining healthy plant functions under salinity stress.
Tocopherols are lipophilic molecules, ubiquitously synthesized in all photosynthetic organisms. Being a group of vitamin E compounds, they play an essential role in human nutrition and health. Despite their structural and functional attributes as important antioxidants in plants, it would be misleading to ignore the potential roles of tocopherols beyond their antioxidant properties in planta.
