Chemical composition and insecticidal activity of Mentha rotundifolia and Chrysanthemum coronarium essential oils against the tomato leaf miner, Tuta absoluta.

Tuta absoluta is one of the most destructive pests of tomatoes. Chemical insecticides used to control this leafminer harm all organisms, increasing the risk to public health and the environment. Developing natural alternatives, such as bioinsecticides formulated from essential plant oils, is a key strategy to address this problem.

Slow-release boron fertilizer improves yield and nutritional profile of L. grown in Northeast China by increasing boron supply capacity.

The northeastern part of China is a traditional sugar beet cultivation area where the soils are classified generally as the black and albic soil types with low boron (B) availability. Boron fertilizer can increase soil B content and significantly improve crop yield and quality. At present, the effects of slow-release B fertilizer on beet root yield and quality remain unclear.

Netrin-1: Key insights in neural development and disorders.

Netrin-1, an essential extracellular protein, has gained significant attention due to its pivotal role in guiding axon and cell migration during embryonic development. The fundamental significance of netrin-1 in developmental biology is reflected in its high conservation across different species as a part of the netrin family. The bifunctional nature of netrin-1 demonstrates its functional versatility, as it can function as either a repellent or an attractant according to the context and the expressed receptors on the target cells including the deleted in colorectal cancer (DCC), the uncoordinated-5 (UNC5), DSCAM, Neogenin-1, Adenosine A2b and Draxin receptors.

The importance of paying attention to the role of lipid-lowering drugs in controlling dengue virus infection.

The Flaviviridae family includes the dengue virus (DENV). About half of the world's population is in danger because of the estimated 390 million infections and 96 million symptomatic cases that occur each year. An effective treatment for dengue fever (DF) does not yet exist.

A review of the immunomodulatory properties of mesenchymal stem cells and their derived extracellular vesicles in small-cell and non-small-cell lung cancer cells.

Among the most challenging diseases to treat is lung cancer (LC). While immunotherapy has a checkered history, it has lately shown great promise in the treatment of LC, and interest in this promising new approach is on the rise around the globe. Immunotherapy using mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) is gaining popularity.
