Minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and IC50 values and total phenolics of dog rose fruits were 72.5-80 μL mL(- 1), 130 μg mL(- 1) and 5.7 mg GA g(- 1), respectively. The Fashand watercress population and dog rose extracts exhibited mycelia growth inhibition values of 45.08% and 37.12%, respectively. The results of in vivo study indicated that the treatment of inoculated fruits with both methanol extracts especially the watercress plant extract considerably controls the citrus fruits decay (Penicillium digitatum) up to 73%. In conclusion, methanol extracts of dog rose fruits and especially watercress plant had the potential to be used against citrus green mould and even for the improvement of postharvest quality of orange fruits.

Rose prickles are small-scale, plant-based anchoring tools of multifunctional biomechanical roles, combining physical defense against herbivores and growth support on surrounding objects. By employing multiscale structural observations, nanomechanical characterizations, and finite-element simulations, we unveil that the dog rose ( Linnaeus) prickle incorporates structural-mechanical modifications at different length scales, resulting in macroscopic stress-locking effects that provide the prickle extreme damage-resistant capabilities and secure its functional form against catastrophic failures. These functional design strategies, unique to plant-based biomechanical tools, may promote futuristic micro-engineered anchoring platforms for micro-robotics locomotion, biomedical microinjection, and micromechanical systems.

Background: Patients with psychiatric disorders experience a reduced quality of life also due to the antipsychotic drugs assumed, that negatively affects their cognitive abilities. A healthy lifestyle, such as physical activity, can improve both functional abilities and mental health of patients with a dual diagnosis, psychiatric and cognitive. Despite this knowledge, these people are more sedentary than the general population, probably because of their apathy, core aspects of the illness.

Brain signaling of calcineurin (CN) and nuclear factor of activated T-cells (NFAT) transcription factor increases in Alzheimer disease (AD) and is associated with synaptic loss, neurodegeneration, neuroinflammation, amyloid-β (Aβ) production, and cognitive decline. CN/NFAT inhibitors ameliorate these neuropathologies in mouse models of AD. Further, chronic use of tacrolimus in transplant patients reduces risk of AD.
