As a major ubiquitous secondary metabolite, flavonoids are widely distributed in . Among flavonoids, kaempferol is a typical natural flavonol in diets and medicinal plants with myriad bioactivities, such as anti-inflammatory activity, anti-cancer activity, antioxidant activity, and anti-diabetic activity. However, the natural sources, absorption and metabolism as well as the bioactivities of kaempferol have not been reviewed comprehensively and systematically. This review highlights the latest research progress and the effect of kaempferol in the prevention and treatment of various chronic diseases, as well as its protective health effects, and provides a theoretical basis for future research to be used in nutraceuticals. Further, comparison of the different extraction and analytical methods are presented to highlight the most optimum for PG recovery and its detection in plasma and body fluids. Such review aims at improving the value-added applications of this unique dietary bioactive flavonoids at commercial scale and to provide a reference for its needed further development.

The development of innovative solid particles from renewable resources possessing high biocompatibility and exceptional emulsification capabilities is crucial for stabilizing Pickering emulsions and advancing carrier systems. In this study, a pea protein isolate (PPI)-cellulose conjugate particle was prepared by the Maillard reaction. Compared to the isoelectric point of pH 4.

The evolution of green plants from aquatic to terrestrial environments is thought to have been facilitated by the acquisition of gametangia, specialized multicellular organs housing gametes. Antheridia and archegonia, responsible for producing and protecting sperm and egg cells, undergo formative cell divisions to produce a cell to differentiate into germ cell lineages and the other cell to give rise to surrounding structures. However, the genes governing this process remain unidentified.

Cervical cancer (CC) is a global public health concern, primarily caused by persistent infection with oncogenic types of human papillomavirus (HPV). The World Health Organization (WHO) has established a plan to eliminate CC as a public health issue by the year 2100. However, the implementation of the HPV vaccine is impeded by vaccine restrictions and misinformation despite its demonstrated effectiveness.

Background: Regulatory T-cells (Tregs) play a crucial role in maintaining immune homeostasis, but their dynamics are altered in a subset of people living with Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) known as immunological non-responders (INRs). INRs fail to reconstitute CD4 T-cell counts despite viral suppression. This study aimed to examine Treg dysregulation in INRs, comparing them to immunological responders (IRs) and healthy controls (HCs).
