Brassinosteroids are a new group of phytohormones that are widely distributed in plants and play an important role in the processes of plant growth and development. Physiological concentrations of brassinosteroids in plants are extremely low, and their analysis in organs and tissues is very difficult. This study is devoted to the chemical aspects of elaboration and to bioanalytical parameters of an immunoenzymatic system for quantitative determination of the phytohormones 24-epicastasterone and 24-epibrassinolide.

Background: Aging is a natural, irreversible process that can be successful or pathological, resulting in chronic degenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease. Low levels of estrogen characterize menopause. Research reveals that the lack of these hormones may be related to dementia and that vitamin D (vit D), when supplemented, has a neuroprotective and neuromodulator effect.

Background: Accumulating evidence has shown the neuroprotective effects of estrogen on cognition function, for example delaying the cognitive deterioration in patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD). However, the clinical usage of estrogen in AD remains controversial. The cytochrome P450 aromatase encoded by CYP19A1, is a key enzyme catalyzing the C19 androgen conversion to C18 estrogen, which induces testosterone to estradiol and androstenedione to estrone.

Background: The emergence of new SARS-CoV-2 variants poses a new challenge for the treatment of immunocompromised patients against COVID-19. In this context, high titer COVID-19 Convalescent Plasma (CCP) is one of the few available therapeutics for these patients. We have revisited the selection of CCP samples and its efficacy against Omicron XBB.

Background: Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a potentially life-threatening adverse drug reaction with numerous diagnostic challenges. Diagnosis of HIT begins with 4T score clinical assessment, followed by laboratory testing for those not deemed low risk. Laboratory testing for HIT includes screening [enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)] and confirmatory [serotonin release assay (SRA)] assays, wherein SRA testing can be pursued following a positive ELISA result.

This study is the first to conduct a sero-surveillance of Bovine Tropical Theileriosis (BTT) caused by the protozoan parasite Theileria annulata (T. annulata) using a recombinant Tams1 protein-based dot-ELISA in cattle, and to compare its efficacy with plate-ELISA, single PCR, nested PCR, and blood microscopy. The goal was to identify the most effective method for the early and accurate detection of theileriosis, which significantly impacts livestock through reduced milk yield and increased mortality.
