The antioxidant activity of thuja (Thuja occidentalis) cones extract (TCE) and peach (Prunus armeniaca) seeds extract (PSE) were estimated by DPPH free radical scavenging activity method. Total phenolics, total flavonoids and reducing power were also estimated in these extracts. Antioxidant potential of these by products was also evaluated in raw chicken ground meat (GM) during refrigerated (4 ± 1 °C) storage. Total phenolics in TCE and PSE were 7.80 ± 0.04 and 1.92 ± 0.04 mg TAE/gdw respectively. Both extract also showed remarkable DPPH radical scavenging activity (25.52 ± 1.92% and 24.99 ± 0.32%). The reducing powerOD700 was observed more in TCE as compared to PSE (3.32 ± 0.01 and 0.49 ± 0.01). Total flavonoids contents were 7.48 ± 0.02 and 0.85 ± 0.01 mg CE/gdw respectively. Addition of these extract significantly (P < 0.01) affected cooking losses and WHC of GM. During refrigerated storage (4 °C) the TBARS values at 8 d were significantly (P < 0.01) more in control than TCE and PSE treated groups.

Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a high relapse rate. In this study, we map the metabolic profile of CD34(CD38) AML cells and the extracellular vesicle signatures in circulation from AML patients at diagnosis. CD34 AML cells display high antioxidant glutathione levels and enhanced mitochondrial functionality, both associated with poor clinical outcomes.

Introduction: Single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) represent a significant genetic variation influencing individual responses to cosmetic dermatology treatments. SNP profiling offers a pathway to personalized skincare by enabling practitioners to predict patient outcomes, customize interventions, and mitigate risks.

Background: The integration of genetic insights into dermatology has gained traction, with SNP analysis revealing predispositions in skin characteristics, such as collagen degradation, pigmentation, and inflammatory responses.
