Skeletal remains are the only source of the genetic material of decomposed organisms or once-lived species. Unlike, soft tissues they are highly mineralized, and their anatomical and morphological structure prevents their deformation in the presence of adverse environmental factors. Therefore, bones and teeth protect the Deoxyribonucleic Acid (DNA) inside them.

Nanotechnology improves treatment efficacy by enabling targeted and controlled drug delivery. This review article evaluates the potential of nanotechnology-based therapies for treating colon cancer BM, emphasizing their capacity to cross the BBB, diminish metastatic growth, and enhance overall survival rates.

Glutathione S-transferase (GST) plays a critical role in detoxifying various chemical compounds and is essential for host adaptation and pesticide resistance in insects. To understand the genetic structure of the GST family and the expression patterns among three haplotypes of Aphis gossypii, we conducted studies using genome annotation files and RNA-seq data. We identified 11 GSTs in A.

Fusarium fungicide resistance is an increasing concern in agricultural and environmental contexts, requiring a thorough understanding of its causes, implications, and management approaches. The mechanisms of fungicide resistance in Fusarium spp.
