Non-selected and sodium chloride selected callus lines of Vacdnium corymbosum L.cv Blue Crop and cv. Denise Blue were grown on media supplemented with 0-100 mM NaCl. For both cultivars, fresh weight and dry weight yields were greater in selected lines on all levels of NaCl. Selected lines of Blue Crop displayed better growth than selected lines of Denise Blue at most concentrations of NaCl. Internal Na(+) and Cl(-) concentrations in selected and non-selected lines of both cultivars increased as external concentration was raised. However, selected lines of Blue Crop and Denise Blue accumulated more Na(+) and Cl(-) than non-selected lines. Selected lines of both cultivars maintained higher levels of K(+) than non-selected lines on all external NaCl levels. Selected lines of Blue Crop had higher levels of Na(+) and Cl(-) than that of Denise Blue. The results suggest Na(+) and Cl(-) accumulation could be a mechanism allowing better growth in selected lines at moderate salinity levels (50-75 mM NaCl).

Deciphering the most promising strategy for the evolution of cancer patient management remains a multifaceted, challenging affair to date. Additionally, such approaches often lead to microbial infections as side effects, probably due to the compromised immunity of the patients undergoing such treatment. Distinctly, this work delineates a rational combinatorial strategy harnessing stereogenic harmony in the diphenylalanine fragment, tethering it to an amphiphile 12-hydroxy-lauric acid at the N-terminus (compounds -) such that a potential therapeutic could be extracted out from the series.

Organic fluorescence and colorimetric probes have emerged as vital tools for detecting metal ions, due to their high sensitivity, selectivity, and rapid response times. Copper, an essential trace element, plays a critical role in biological systems, yet its imbalance can lead to severe disorders such as neurodegenerative diseases, cancer, and Wilson's disease. Over the past few years, advancements in probe design have unlocked innovative avenues for not only detecting Cu in environmental and biological samples but also for visualizing its distribution through fluorescence imaging.

Background: Combining natural compounds with chemotherapeutic agents has emerged as a promising approach for cancer treatment. Curcumin (Cur), a natural polyphenol, is known for its anti-cancer properties, including the ability to induce apoptosis and arrest cell cycle progression.

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effects of Cur and etoposide (ETO), both individually and in combination, on the induction of apoptosis in breast cancer (BC) cell lines.

Over the years, numerous ligand-based organotin(IV) Schiff base compounds have shown remarkable cytotoxicity and anticancer activities, but their clinical use is restricted by systemic toxicity, prompting the search for targeted therapies. Targeted delivery can be enhanced by exploiting the inherent characteristics of cancer cells such as glutamine addiction, which is essential to support cellular biosynthesis and cell growth to sustain aberrant proliferation. Our previous study revealed glutamine-conjugated organotin(IV) compounds have strong DNA/protein affinities, favorable in silico ADME profiles, and significant antiproliferative activity.
