Polyethylene microplastics affect behavioural, oxidative stress, and molecular responses in the model.

The escalating presence of microplastic pollution poses a significant environmental threat, with far-reaching implications for both ecosystems and human health. This study investigated the toxicological impact of polyethylene microplastics (PE MPs) using , fruit flies, as a model organism. were exposed to PE MPs orally at concentrations of 1 mg ml and 10 mg ml agar food.

Bioactive molecules from fungal endophytes and their applications in pharmaceutical industries: challenges and future scope.

Medicinal plants are an important source of bioactive compounds and have been used to isolate various bioactive compounds having industrial applications. The demand for plants derived bioactive molecules is increasing gradually. However, the extensive use of these plants to extract bioactive molecules has threatened many plant species.
