Mitigating drought stress in fenugreek through synergistic effects of alanine and potassium-enriched biochar.

Drought stress adversely affects plant growth, development, and yield. It can decrease seed germination, biomass accumulation, root proliferation, chlorophyll contents, and stomatal conductance. To overcome this critical issue, researchers suggest employing environmentally friendly approaches.

Chitosan and hyaluronic acid in colorectal cancer therapy: A review on EMT regulation, metastasis, and overcoming drug resistance.

Up to 90% of cancer-related fatalities could be attributed to metastasis. Therefore, understanding the mechanisms that facilitate tumor cell metastasis is beneficial for improving patient survival and results. EMT is considered the main process involved in the invasion and spread of CRC.

LncRNA PCAT7 promotes non-small cell lung cancer progression by activating miR-486-5p/CDK4 axis-mediated cell cycle.

Objective: Lung cancer remains one of the common cancers worldwide. Both LncRNA PCAT7 and miR-486-5p are tightly correlated with NSCLC. However, the relationship between PCAT7 and miR-486-5p and the detailed mechanisms underlying the effect of PCAT7 on NSCLC are not discovered yet.

Relationship between water quality, heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes among three freshwater lakes.

Urban recreational lakes are impacted by consistent anthropogenic activities and are significant sources of heavy metals and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs). In this study, three urban lakes of varying size and anthropogenic impact in Nanjing, China, were investigated for the abundance of ten ARGs, six physicochemical factors and four heavy metals. Correlations between heavy metals and physicochemical parameters against ARGs were performed to investigate the presence of ARGs in the lakes.

Allicin Improves Lung Injury Induced by Sepsis via Regulation of the Toll-Like Receptor 4 (TLR4)/Myeloid Differentiation Primary Response 88 (MYD88)/Nuclear Factor kappa B (NF-κB) Pathway.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to assess the effects and mechanisms of allicin in a sepsis-induced lung injury in vivo study. MATERIAL AND METHODS The rats (n=54) were divided into 6 groups: Normal, DMSO, LPS, LPS+LD, LPS+MD, and LPS+HD groups. After being treated by different methods, we collected the lung tissues of different groups and evaluated the pathology by HE staining and positive apoptosis cells by TUNEL.
