Soy Isoflavones Induce Cell Death by Copper-Mediated Mechanism: Understanding Its Anticancer Properties.

Cancer incidence varies around the globe, implying a relationship between food and cancer risk. Plant polyphenols are a class of secondary metabolites that have recently attracted attention as possible anticancer agents. The subclass of polyphenols, known as isoflavones, includes genistein and daidzein, which are present in soybeans and are regarded as potent chemopreventive agents.

Effect of Mo doping in NiO nanoparticles for structural modification and its efficiency for antioxidant, antibacterial applications.

Novel molybdenum (Mo)-doped nickel oxide (NiO) Nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized by using a simple sonochemical methodology and the synthesized NPs were investigated for antioxidant, and antibacterial applications. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that the crystal systems of rhombohedral (21.34 nm) and monoclinic (17.

Cerium Oxide Nanorods Synthesized by Extract for Antioxidant, Cytotoxicity, and Photocatalytic Applications.

In this study, cerium oxide nanorods (CeO-NRs) were synthesized by using the phytochemicals present in the extract. The physiochemical characteristics of the as-prepared CeO-NRs were investigated by using ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-VIS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD). The SEM and UV-VIS analyses revealed that the acquired nanomaterials possessed a rod-like morphology while the XRD results further confirmed that the synthesized NRs exhibited a cubic crystal lattice system.

Novel Nd-N/TiO Nanoparticles for Photocatalytic and Antioxidant Applications Using Hydrothermal Approach.

In this study, photocatalysis was employed to degrade a wastewater pollutant (AB-29 dye) under visible light irradiation. For this purpose, nitrogen (N)- and neodymium (Nd)-doped TiO nanoparticles were prepared using the simple hydrothermal method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed an anatase phase structure of the Nd-N/TiO photocatalyst, whereas properties including the surface morphology, chemical states/electronics structure and optical structure were determined using transmission electron microscopy (TEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and UV-visible (UV-vis.

Advances and development of prostate cancer, treatment, and strategies: A systemic review.

The most common type of cancer in the present-day world affecting modern-day men after lung cancer is prostate cancer. Prostate cancer remains on the list of top three cancer types claiming the highest number of male lives. An estimated 1.

A Review on Nanocarrier Mediated Treatment and Management of Triple Negative Breast Cancer: A Saudi Arabian Scenario.

People have continued to be petrified by the devastating effects of cancer for decades and thus a pursuit for developing anticancer agents have seen an ever-increasing trend in the past few decades. Globally, breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women and the second most common cause of cancer-related deaths. In Saudi Arabia, breast cancer is the most common type of cancer among women, constituting almost 14.

Electrochemical Methodologies for Investigating the Antioxidant Potential of Plant and Fruit Extracts: A Review.

In recent years, the growing research interests in the applications of plant and fruit extracts (synthetic/stabilization materials for the nanomaterials, medicinal applications, functional foods, and nutraceuticals) have led to the development of new analytical techniques to be utilized for identifying numerous properties of these extracts. One of the main properties essential for the applicability of these plant extracts is the antioxidant capacity (AOC) that is conventionally determined by spectrophotometric techniques. Nowadays, electrochemical methodologies are emerging as alternative tools for quantifying this particular property of the extract.

Study of HLA-G gene 14-bp ins/del and codon 93 (CAC/CAT) polymorphisms association with spontaneous abortion in a Tunisian population.

In the recent years, spontaneous abortion (SA) frequency increased awareness about medical and social-economic related problems. Human leukocyte antigen-G (HLA-G) is a non-classic HLA I molecule initially described in trophoblastic tissue in foeto-maternal interface. HLA-G polymorphism association with SA has been extensively studied.

Immunity, Sex Hormones, and Environmental Factors as Determinants of COVID-19 Disparity in Women.

The current coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome virus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has resulted in a major global pandemic, causing extreme morbidity and mortality. Few studies appear to suggest a significant impact of gender in morbidity and mortality, where men are reported at a higher risk than women. The infectivity, transmissibility, and varying degree of disease manifestation (mild, modest, and severe) in population studies reinforce the importance of a number of genetic and epigenetic factors, in the context of immune response and gender.
