Universal Method Based on Layer-by-Layer Assembly for Aptamer-Based Sensors for Small-Molecule Detection.

Development of a fast and accurate pesticide analysis system is a challenging task, as a large amount of commonly used pesticide has negative effects on humans' health. Detection of pesticide residues is crucial for food safety management and environmental protection. Aptamers─short single-stranded oligonucleotides (RNA or DNA) selected by aptamer selection method SELEX─can selectively bind to their target pesticide molecules with high affinity.

Application of extracted β-glucan from oat for β-carotene encapsulation.

Abstract: The cell walls of cereals are rich sources of polysaccharide β-glucan. In this study, the β-glucan was extracted from oat bran using the hot-water extraction method and dried in a pure powder form. The concentration of the β-glucan in the extract was determined using the l-cysteine sulfuric acid method.

Cisplatin effect on digital cytomorphometric and bioinformatic tumor cell characteristics in rat ovarian cancer model-a preliminary study.

Background: Ovarian cancer is one of the most common diseases of the female reproductive system. The aim of this study was the investigation of the antitumor cisplatin effect on ascitic fluid tumor cells in the ovarian cancer experimental model by digital cytomorphometry and cell bioinformatic analysis.

Methods: Female Wistar rats were inoculated by ovarian cancer strain.

Iodine Bonded with Milk Protein Inhibits Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia Development in Rats.

Background: There is some evidence that Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH) may increase the risk of developing prostate cancer, so conducting research on effective BPH inhibitors is important.

Objective: This research studied the inhibitory effect of Iodized Serum Milk Protein (ISMP) on BPH in rats. ISMP is a concentrate of lactic protein containing 2.
