Aim: The purpose of this study was to search for the influence of red LED light of oral squamous cell carcinoma cells (OSCC) Material & Methods: HSC-3 was irradiated with red LED light (630 nm/3 J). Proliferative capacity was analyzed using WST-1. Transwell migration assay, real-time PCR, and ELISA method were also used to analyze migratory ability.
Conclusions: HSC-3 cells irradiated with red LED light showed increased migration ability. Interestingly, we clarified that the expression of Interleukin-6 (IL-6), which promotes the migratory ability of cancer cells, is induced.

The therapeutic management of melanoma, the most aggressive form of skin cancer, remains challenging. In the search for more effective therapeutic options, metal-based complexes are being investigated for their anticancer properties. Cisplatin was the first clinically approved platinum-based drug and, based on its success, other metals (e.

Soybeans are a widely consumed legume, essential in Western diets and especially prominent in vegan and vegetarian nutrition. However, environmental contamination from anthropogenic sources, such as industrial emissions, wastewater, and pesticide use, has led to the accumulation of non-essential and toxic elements in legumes, potentially impacting human health. This study quantified the levels of 11 potential toxic elements (Al, B, Ba, Cd, Co, Cr, Li, Ni, Pb, Sr, V) in 90 samples of four soybean species (, , , ) using inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES).

To investigate the potential of ferulic acid (FA) in attenuating the deleterious effects of oxidized fish oil (OF) on , four experimental diets were formulated: 3% fresh fish oil (CT group, peroxide value: 2.2 mmol/kg), 3% oxidized fish oil (OF group, peroxide value: 318 mmol/kg), and 3% OF with an additional 160 and 320 mg/kg of FA (OF+FA160 group and OF+FA320 group, respectively). (initial weight: 0.

In an environmentally controlled plant factory with LED red-blue light, the effects of conventional light (4R:1B, 200 μmol·m·s, 18/6 h) and continuous light (CL, 24/0 h) with three light intensities (4R:1B, 200, 300 and 400 μmol·m·s, 24/0 h) on yield, nutritional quality, reactive oxygen species (ROS) content and 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity (DPPH) in green-leaf Yidali and purple-leaf Zishan lettuces were investigated. The results showed that the dry and fresh shoot weight of two lettuces exposed to CL tended to increase with light intensity-from 200 to 400 μmol·m·s-compared to conventional light, while the leaf area tended to decrease or remained unchanged. High-intensity CL could significantly increase soluble sugar and reduce the nitrate contents of the two lettuces.
