Synthesis of benzylidene-indandione derivatives as quantification of amyloid fibrils.

The formation of amyloid fibrils due to its association with fatal diseases, including Alzheimer's, has been investigated by many researchers. These common diseases, mostly become verified when it is too late to be treated. Currently, no cure is available for neurodegenerative diseases, and the process of diagnosing amyloid fibrils in the early stages, while there are fewer amyloid fibrils, has become an issue of interest.

Antidiabetic effects of Scrophularia striata ethanolic extract via suppression of Pdx1 and Ins1 expression in pancreatic tissues of diabetic rats.

One of the factors that causes severe metabolic imbalance and abnormal changes in many tissues, especially in the pancreas, is the pathological disease of diabetes mellitus. Therefore, in this study, the therapeutic effects of Scrophularia striata were investigated using an animal model in the control of diabetic injury and pancreatic complications caused by diabetes. A total of 66 rats (weight 220-250 g) were randomly divided into: Healthy Control group (rats without diabetes receiving Propylene glycol as solvent); Diabetic control group; 3 experimental healthy groups (receiving the extract with doses of 100, 200 and 400 mg/kg bw/day); 3 treatment groups; and3 pretreatment groups.

Improvement Thermal Stability of D-Lactate Dehydrogenase by Hydrophobin-1 and in Silico Prediction of Protein-Protein Interactions.

Hydrophobins are small surface-active proteins. They can connect to hydrophobic or hydrophilic regions and oligomerize in solution to form massive construction. In nature, these proteins are produced by filamentous fungi at different stages of growth.
