Characterization and application of polysaccharides produced by Pseudomonas atacamensis M7D1 for chromium (III) removal from tannery effluent.

The wastewater from various industries contaminated with heavy metals poses significant environmental challenges. Biosorption has emerged as a widely used method for removing heavy metals from industrial wastewater. Pseudomonas atacamensis M7D1 is known to produce polysaccharides, but the potential of its polysaccharides as an adsorbent for heavy metal removal still needs to be explored.

Transforming Feather Meal Into a High-Performance Feed for Broilers.

Background: The poultry industry faces challenges with the high cost and environmental impact of Soybean meal. Feather meal, a byproduct with low digestibility due to its keratin content, is a potential alternative. Recent biotechnological advances, including enzymatic and bacterial hydrolysis, have enhanced its digestibility and nutritional value.

Protective effect of quercetin loaded on bifunctional periodic mesoporous organosilica against damage induced by irradiation on the male reproductive system.

Preserving fertility is important in men under radiation therapy because healthy cells are also affected by radiation. Supplementation with antioxidants is a controversial issue in this process. Designing a biocompatible delivery system containing hydrophobic antioxidants to release control may solve these disagreements.

Recent advances in bioactive materials: Future perspectives and opportunities in oral cancer biosensing.

Bioactive materials and biosensing technologies are emerging as pivotal tools in the early detection and management of oral cancer, a disease characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates. Recent advancements in nanotechnology have facilitated the development of innovative biosensors that utilize bioactive materials for non-invasive diagnostics, particularly through salivary analysis. These biosensors, including electrochemical, optical, and molecular types, target specific biomarkers such as DNA, RNA, and proteins associated with oral cancer.
