Targeted Nanotherapy by Vinblastine-Loaded Chitosan-Coated PLA Nanoparticles to Improve the Chemotherapy via Reactive Oxygen Species to Hamper Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

Liver cancer is a prevalent and significant cause of death in humans. The use of novel biodegradable materials for various biomedical applications is being recently recommended as complementary as well as alternative solution for traditional chemotherapy. This study focuses on the synthesis of biodegradable nanocarriers [chitosan-coated poly(lactic acid) NPs (Cht-PLA NPs)] for the delivery of an anticancer drug vinblastine (Vbx) and to evaluate its therapeutic potential in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG2) cells.

Endophytic Microbial Community Structure and Dynamics Influence Agarwood Formation in Aquilaria malaccensis Lam.

Aquilaria malaccensis Lam., an Agarwood-producing tree native to Southeast Asia, secretes oleoresin, a resin with diverse applications, in response to injuries. To explore the role of endosphere microbial communities during Agarwood development, we utilized a metagenomics approach across three stages: non-symptomatic (NC), symptomatic early (IN), and symptomatic mature (IN1).

Diagnostic accuracy of early neonatal MRI in predicting adverse motor outcomes in children born preterm: Systematic review and meta-analysis.

Aim: To examine the diagnostic accuracy of Early structural and diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (acquired at < 36 weeks postmenstrual age) to detect cerebral palsy (CP) or other adverse motor outcomes at or beyond 3 years corrected age in infants born preterm.

Method: In this systematic review and meta-analysis, we searched the CINAHL, Embase, PubMed, and Web of Science databases for studies without language restrictions and a prospectively registered protocol up to October 2023. We extracted the study details, associations presented, and meta-analyses conducted with pooled sensitivity and specificity.

Seroprevalence of bovine Herpesvirus-1, bovine viral diarrhoea virus, Neospora caninum and Coxiella burnetii in dairy cows in Ethiopia.

Background: The reproductive problem is an animal health-related bottleneck that constrains livestock genetic improvement efforts in tropical countries such as Ethiopia. The infectious causes of reproductive disorders are one cause of decreased reproductive efficiency. This study aimed to determine the seroprevalence to Bovine Herpesvirus-1 (BHV1), Bovine Viral Diarrhea Virus (BVDV), Neospora caninum (N.
