Creatinine (Ctn) is a biomarker for chronic kidney disease (CKD). In this study, a highly sensitive and specific detection method for Ctn based on a molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) based electrochemical biosensor was developed. Mxene (Mx), which has high absorption properties, was modified using carbon screen-printed electrodes (SPCE).

- Developing advanced nanoarchitectures can boost the performance of battery-type electrodes for better energy storage.
- A new composite material made from copper selenide and nickel selenide on nickel foam shows enhanced surface area and faster electrochemical reactions, leading to higher capacity compared to traditional single materials.
- The resulting supercapattery with this composite exhibits impressive energy storage metrics, making it a promising candidate for future high-performance energy devices.
Article Synopsis
- Salmonella enterica subspecies enterica serovar Abortusequi (S. Abortusequi) is a significant cause of equine abortions, which negatively impacts the equine industry, especially as infections have been increasing in recent years.
- The study isolated and analyzed S. Abortusequi from donkeys during an abortion outbreak in southern India, finding that this isolate formed a unique clade compared to other known isolates through whole genome sequencing and phylogenomic analysis.
- Comparative analysis showed a higher number of core genes than accessory genes in S. Abortusequi serovars, and revealed a 32% agreement on antimicrobial resistance between phenotypic and genotypic data, indicating
Phyto-safe in vitro regeneration and harnessing antimicrobial-resistant endophytes as bioinoculants for enhanced growth and secondary metabolites yield in Nilgirianthus ciliatus.
BMC Plant Biol
September 2024
Nilgirianthus ciliatus, extensively exploited for its pharmacological properties, is now classified as vulnerable. In vitro micropropagation offers a sustainable approach for ecological conservation and rational utilization of this biodiversity resource. This study aimed to reduce endophytes during in vitro propagation and isolating antimicrobial-resistant endophytes from N.

Therefore, this study has attempted to delineate the mechanical aspect of hesperetin's anticancer efficacy against colon cancer using immunoblotting, scanning, and transmission electron microscopic studies. The treatment with hesperetin (25 and 50 µM) has significantly (p < 0.
