Polyethylene nanoplastics affected morphological, physiological, and molecular indices in tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.).

This study explored morphological, physiological, molecular, and epigenetic responses of tomatoes (Solanum lycopersicum) to soil contamination with polyethylene nanoplastics (PENP; 0.01, 0.1, and 1 gkg soil).

Natural products in the treatment of diabetic foot infection.

Diabetic foot infections (DFIs) are a significant complication in diabetes mellitus, leading to increased morbidity, hospitalizations, and healthcare burdens. The growing prevalence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens has reduced the efficacy of conventional treatments, highlighting the need for alternative therapeutic strategies. Natural products, known for their antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties, have garnered attention as potential treatments for DFIs.

The Trend of Utilization of Dental and Oral Health Services Among Children in Iran During 2019-2021: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Gamma frequency connectivity in frontostriatal networks associated with social preference is reduced with traumatic brain injury.

Among the myriad of complications associated with traumatic brain injury (TBI), impairments in social behaviors and cognition have emerged as a significant area of concern. Animal models of social behavior are necessary to explore the underlying brain mechanisms contributing to chronic social impairments following brain injury. Here, we utilize large-scale brain recordings of local field potentials to identify neural signatures linked with social preference deficits following frontal brain injury.
