Exploring sulphated polysaccharides from marine bivalves: Unveiling potent anti-gastric cancer activity through cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.

This study investigates the extraction of partially purified sulphated polysaccharides from marine bivalves through enzymatic digestion followed by sequential deproteinization and evaluates their anti-gastric cancer activity. Chemical analysis confirmed high uronic acid and sulfate content, with FT-IR validating characteristic functional groups. polysaccharide demonstrated significant, dose-dependent anti-proliferative effects against AGS cells.

Unveiling a novel morphometric approach in claws and canines for species discrimination and age stratification in leopard (Panthera pardus fusca).

Eurybiomic big cats are facing significant threats from poaching, which is driven by recreation, taxidermy and wildlife trade. Species identification and age estimation are important for effective conservation management and enforcement of wildlife protection regulations. In this study, we present novel comprehensive morphometric methods for species identification and age estimation in leopards (Panthera pardus fusca) using canine and claw, the major trade articles.
