Effect of kaolin impregnated with calico plant extract on properties of starch films.

Starch film has poor tensile properties and poor water resistance. We aimed to improve these properties by adding kaolin impregnated with calico plant extract (CP-Kaolin). UV-Vis spectrophotometry showed that the calico plant extract (CPE) contained 4867.

Oral Administration of a Phage Cocktail to Reduce Colonization in Broiler Gastrointestinal Tract-A Pilot Study.

contamination in poultry meat products can lead to serious foodborne illness and economic loss from product recalls. It is crucial to control contamination in poultry from farm to fork. Bacteriophages (phages) are viruses of bacteria that offer several advantages, especially their specificity to target bacteria.

MicroRNA Isolation by Trizol-Based Method and Its Stability in Stored Serum and cDNA Derivatives.

MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small, non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression at the post-transcriptional level. Since aberrant expression of miRNAs has been proposed as usage for blood-based biomarkers, hence reliable techniques for miRNA isolation as well as stability of miRNAs in various stored conditions needs to be explored. This present study aimed to investigate the efficacy of the Trizol-based isolation technique and the stability of miRNAs in stored serum and cDNA derivatives.

Knockdown of 14-3-3γ Suppresses Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition and Reduces Metastatic Potential of Human Non-small Cell Lung Cancer Cells.

Background/aim: 14-3-3γ is involved in the metastasis of lung cancer cells. However, its functional roles in tumor cell invasion and the underlying mechanisms are still not understood. In this study, the roles and molecular mechanisms of 14-3-3γ in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), migration, and invasion were investigated using A549 and H358 non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines.
