Physico-chemical, nutritional, and anti-inflammatory properties of processed Garcinia pedunculata fruit: A combined in vitro and in silico approach.

This study aimed to evaluate the physico-chemical, nutritional, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties of Garcinia pedunculata fruit powders obtained from different drying methods to explore their potential use in health-promoting functional foods. The fruits were processed at mature and ripe stages. Molecular modeling studies were also performed to find effective inhibitors from G.

A review on endophytic bacteria of orchids: functional roles toward synthesis of bioactive metabolites for plant growth promotion and disease biocontrol.

In this review, we have discussed the untapped potential of orchid endophytic bacteria as a valuable reservoir of bioactive metabolites, offering significant contributions to plant growth promotion and disease protection in the context of sustainable agriculture. Orchidaceae is one of the broadest and most diverse flowering plant families on Earth. Although the relationship between orchids and fungi is well documented, bacterial endophytes have recently gained attention for their roles in host development, vigor, and as sources of novel bioactive compounds.

Fluorescence lifetime imaging of AMPA receptor endocytosis in living neurons: effects of Aβ and PP1.

The relative amount of AMPA receptors expressed at the surface of neurons can be measured using superecliptic pHluorin (SEP) labeling at their N-terminus. However, the high signal variability resulting from protein overexpression in neurons and the low signal observed in intracellular vesicles make quantitative characterization of receptor trafficking difficult. Here, we establish a real-time live-cell assay of AMPAR trafficking based on fluorescence lifetime imaging (FLIM), which allows for simultaneous visualization of both surface and intracellular receptors.

Optimisation of garlic mustard oil macerate with respect to its antifungal activity against MTCC 183 and molecular docking of the volatile compounds with N-myristoyltransferase.

infections are widespread in people and cause cutaneous and systemic infections. Optimisation of garlic mustard oil macerate (GMM) based on antifungal activity against was done using agar diffusion method. Upon vapour diffusion assay, the volatile organic compounds of both GMM and MO were found to eradicate .

Broad-spectrum pH functional chitosan-phosphatase beads for the generation of plant-available phosphorus: utilizing the insoluble P pool.

Utilization of organic phosphates and insoluble phosphates for the gradual generation of plant-available phosphorus (P) is the only sustainable solution for P fertilization. Enzymatic conversions are one of the best sustainable routes for releasing P to soil. Phosphatase enzyme aids in solubilizing organic and insoluble phosphates to plant-available P.
