In this study, we synthesized heterostructured zinc stannate/tin oxide microparticles (ZTO/TO MPs) by a simple coprecipitation method and used them as an effective electrode material for the electrochemical detection of the antibacterial drug secnidazole (SCZ). The as-prepared ZTO/TO MPs were characterized by XRD, Raman, FE-SEM, HR-TEM, EDX, and XPS analyses. The physiochemical studies clearly proved that the fabricated ZTO/TO MPs were formed in a heterostructure phase without other impurities.

Several cutaneous markers such as acanthosis nigricans have been associated with insulin resistance (IR). However, the association of PM with IR needs to be substantiated.

The RAS/RAF/MEK/ERK/ELK1 signaling cascade is activated in many cancers, including gastric cancer. To identify the targetable inhibitors of the ERK/MAPK pathway, we performed a repurposing screening of a panel of antimicrobial agents in gastric cancer cells using an ERK/MAPK-driven firefly luciferase reporter assay.

This work reports a new supercapacitor material with high capacitance, comprising samaria and borazon (OSm/BN) synthesized ultrasonically (40 ± 3 kHz, 200 W). The successful synthesis, probable interfaces between OSm and BN and thermal stability of the nanocomposite were studied by UV-Vis.

The complete nucleotide sequence of showed 82% identity with (KM244719), whereas was 96% identical to (KP868764) and illustrated 81% similarity with (JQ041697). Phylogenetic and RDP analysis revealed the proximity of these begomoviruses with other monopartite begomoviruses and alphasatellites already reported from India.
