The Root-Tuber Trypsin Inhibitor of Winged Bean and Its Anti-cancerous Activity Against Osteosarcoma Cell-Line.

Trypsin inhibitor from the root-tuber of underutilized legume Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC.) (WbT-TI) was purified using ion exchange chromatography followed by size-exclusion chromatography.

Investigating the toxic mechanism of iron oxide nanoparticles-induced oxidative stress in tadpole (Duttaphrynus melanostictus): A combined biochemical and molecular study.

Metal oxide nanomaterials have toxicity towards aquatic organisms, especially microbes and invertebrates, but little is known about their impact on amphibians. We conducted a study on Duttaphrynus melanostictus (D. melanostictus) tadpoles to explore the chronic toxicity effects of iron oxide nanoparticles (IONPs) and the underlying mechanisms of IONPs-induced oxidative stress.

Autophagy Analysis: A Step-by-Step Simple Practical Guide for Immunofluorescence and Western Blotting.

Autophagy is a vital cellular process responsible for breaking down faulty cellular components and organelles, ultimately routed through lysosomes for degradation. This intricate mechanism involves the translocation of LC3, a cytoplasmic protein, onto the autophagosome membranes. As a result, it becomes feasible to discern cells engaged in autophagy by employing fluorescent markers designed for LC3 or other indicative autophagy markers.

Ecotoxicity risk assessment of copper oxide nanoparticles in Duttaphrynus melanostictus tadpoles.

In recent years, copper oxide nanoparticles (CONPs) have gained considerable importance in ecotoxicology studies. CONP ecotoxicity studies on amphibians are limited, particularly on Duttaphrynus melanostictus (D. melanostictus) tadpoles, and most CONP ecotoxicity studies have shown developmental effects on amphibians.

A review on arsenic pollution, toxicity, health risks, and management strategies using nanoremediation approaches.

Objectives: Over 50 countries are affected by arsenic contamination. The problem is becoming worse as the number of affected people increases and new sites are reported globally.

Content: Various human activities have increased arsenic pollution, notably in both terrestrial and aquatic environments.

Assessment of toxicity in the freshwater tadpole Polypedates maculatus exposed to silver and zinc oxide nanoparticles: A multi-biomarker approach.

Nanoparticles (NPs), especially silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) and zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NPs), are widely used in various industrial applications and are released into the surrounding environment through industrial and household wastewater. They have enormous toxic effects on aquatic animals and amphibians. In the current study, a multi-biomarker approach was used to assess toxicity on Polypedates maculatus (P.

Physicochemical analysis of Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC seeds with fatty acids and total lipids compositions.

Psophocarpus tetragonolobus (L.) DC. is a tropical legume with potential nutritional properties.

Does the volatile hydrocarbon profile differ between the sexes: a case study on five aphidophagous ladybirds.

Insect hydrocarbons (HCs) primarily serve as a waterproofing cuticular layer and function extensively in chemical communication by facilitating species, sex, and colony recognition. In this study, headspace solid-phase microextraction is employed for investigating the sex-specific volatile HC profile of five ladybirds collected from Lucknow, India namely, Coccinella septempunctata (L.), Coccinella transversalis (Fabr.
