Characterization and formation of the biomineral aragonite structures of the Noah's Ark shell ( L.,1758) were studied from structural, morphogenetic, and biochemical points of view. Structural and morphological features were examined using X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy, while thermal properties were determined by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses.

Transgender (TG) people are individuals whose gender identity and sex assigned at birth do not match. They often undergo gender-affirming hormone therapy (GAHT), a medical intervention that allows the acquisition of secondary sex characteristics more aligned with their individual gender identity, providing consistent results in the improvement of numerous socio-psychological variables. However, GAHT targets different body systems, and some side effects are recorded, although not yet fully identified and characterized.

Secondary brain damageafter traumatic brain injury (TBI) involves oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, apoptosis, and necroptosis and can be reversed by understanding these molecular pathways. The objective of this study was to examine the impact of tasimelteon (Tasi) administration on brain injury through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF-2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) and receptor-interacting protein kinase 1 (RIPK1)/receptor-interacting protein kinase 3 (RIPK3)/mixed lineage kinase domain-like (MLKL) pathways in rats with TBI. Thirty-two male Wistar albino rats weighing 300-350 g were randomly divided into four groups: the control group, trauma group, Tasi-1 group (trauma + 1 mg/kg Tasi intraperitoneally), and Tasi-10 group (trauma + 10 mg/kg Tasi intraperitoneally).

Proteases are hydrolases that act on peptide bonds, releasing amino acids and/or oligopeptides, and are involved in essential functions in all organisms. They represent an important segment of the global enzyme market, with applications in the food, leather, detergent, and pharmaceutical industries. Depending on their industrial use, proteases should exhibit high activity under extreme conditions, such as low temperatures, e.

Plant parts such as roots, bark, leaves, flowers, and fruits that hold ethnopharmacological significance are naturally prone to microbial contamination, influenced by environmental factors like moisture and humidity. This study focuses on assessing the microbial load in the raw material of Tribulus terrestris (TT). The primary bacterium isolated from the pulverized raw material was identified as Bacillus haynesii through 16S rRNA sequencing.
