Endostatin in disease modulation: From cancer to beyond.

Angiogenesis plays a pivotal role in various pathological conditions, making it a key target in therapeutic development. Anti-angiogenic therapies are gaining traction for their potential in treating a range of angiogenesis-dependent diseases. Among these, endogenous angiogenesis inhibitors, particularly endostatin, have garnered significant attention for their therapeutic potential.

A GIS-coupled thermal response model for predicting the population growth potential of the red cotton bug, Dysdercus koenigii (Fabricius) (Hemiptera: Pyrrhocoridae) in India under climate change conditions.

Recently, the red cotton bug has become a significant menace to cotton in India. With the potential for increased habitat suitability due to predicted temperature rise of 2.5 °C under future climate change in India, this pest could become even more severe in certain regions.

Broad-spectrum anti-cancer activity of fused human arginase variants.

The rapid increase in cancer cases worldwide necessitates the development of novel therapeutic approaches. Therapies targeting cancer's altered metabolism, especially those that deplete critical amino acids, have emerged as promising ones, some of which are already being used in clinical practice and many others are under development. This study reports the anti-cancer activity of two novel fused human arginase I (FHA) variants, FHA-3 and FHA-12, assessed using the NCI-60 human tumor cell line panel.

Diversity study of Beauveria bassiana species for finding the most virulent strain to manage Bemisia tabaci in cotton.

Beauveria bassiana (Bal.-Criv.) is an important entomopathogenic fungus being used for the management of various agricultural pests worldwide.

Bilayer Porous Electrocatalysts for Stable and Selective Electrochemical Reduction of CO to Formate in the Presence of Flue Gas Containing NO and SO.

The development of stable and selective electrocatalysts for converting CO to value-added chemicals or fuels has gained much interest in terms of their potential to mitigate anthropogenic carbon emissions. Most of the electrocatalysts are tested under pure CO; however, industrial outlet flue gas contains numerous impurities, such as NO and SO, which poison the electrocatalysts and alter the product selectivity. Developing electrocatalysts that are resistant to such impurities is essential for commercial implementation.
