Enhancing the Stability and Anticancer Activity of Asparaginase Through Nanoparticle Immobilization: A Biotechnological Perspective on Nano Chitosan.

There is a shortage in the experimental research directly comparing the effectiveness of different nanoparticles in boosting asparaginase (ASNase) activity. This study assessed the impact of various nanoparticles on enhancing ASNase activity, stability, and anticancer effects through immobilization. ASNase was immobilized on different nanoparticles, and its efficiency was measured.

Phytochemical Composition and Bioactivities of Some Hydrophytes: Antioxidant, Antiparasitic, Antibacterial, and Anticancer Properties and Mechanisms.

Few researches have explored the production of pharmaceuticals from aquatic plants. Therefore, this study explored, for the first time, the phytochemical composition and bioactivities of ten aquatic plants. Aquatic plant shoots from various Nile River canals were collected, dried, and ground for aqueous extract preparation.

Abscisic acid induced a negative geotropic response in dark-incubated Chlamydomonas reinhardtii.

The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) plays a role in stresses that alter plant water status and may also regulate root gravitropism and hydrotropism. ABA also exists in the aquatic algal progenitors of land plants, but other than its involvement in stress responses, its physiological role in these microorganisms remains elusive. We show that exogenous ABA significantly altered the HCO uptake of Chamydomonas reinhardtii in a light-intensity-dependent manner.
