Background: Although the SARS-CoV-2 and dengue viruses seriously endanger human health, there is presently no vaccine that can stop a person from contracting both viruses at the same time. In this study, four antigens from SARS-CoV-2 and dengue virus were tested for immunogenicity, antigenicity, allergenicity, and toxicity and chosen to predict dominant T- and B-cell epitopes.
Methods: For designing a multi-epitope vaccine, the sequences were retrieved, and using bioinformatics and immunoinformatics, the physicochemical and immunological properties, as well as secondary structures, of the vaccine were predicted and studied.

Periodontitis is a multifactorial chronic inflammatory infectious disease associated with systemic diseases. Proanthocyanidin B2 (PB2), a polyphenol, has been investigated to exhibit antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer pharmacological properties. PB2 has shown good efficacy in treating hepatocellular carcinoma, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and ulcerative colitis.

This study investigates the antibacterial and cancer-preventive properties of β-glucan nanoparticles (GNP) synthesised from oats using microwave energy, sodium tripolyphosphate (TPP), and silver (Ag). UV-visible spectroscopy indicated a strong surface plasmon resonance peak between 220 and 250 nm for GNP. FTIR analysis identified a band at 609 cm, signifying β linkage and confirming the presence of β-glucans.

Northeastern Thai ethnic foods are celebrated for their health benefits yet remain largely underexplored. This study assessed the antioxidant and cytotoxic properties of two ready-to-eat pastes-Jaew Hon (JH) and Gang Om (GO)-produced using laboratory (LAB) and industrial original equipment manufacturer (OEM) methods. Evaluations were conducted using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP), total phenolic content (TPC), and total flavonoid content (TFC) assays alongside the 3-(4,5-Dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay for cytotoxicity.
