Rare earth elements are integral to modern technology, but their increasing environmental distribution due to anthropogenic activities poses potential health risks to humans. This study utilized zebrafish as a model to assess developmental and locomotor performance effects of europium and samarium. Exposure to Eu or Sm induced a reduction in heart rate, growth inhibition, and morphological deformities.

A bio-fabrication approach is a novel way to develop chitosan-stabilized magnesium oxide nanomaterials (cMgO-NMs). The process involves utilizing polymeric chitosan as the reducing and stabilizing agent. The characteristics of the developed cMgO-NMs were determined using various spectroscopical techniques.

In this work, we sought to apprehend quercetin binding affinity and its interaction behavior in complex with human serum albumin (HSA) and calf thymus DNA (ctDNA) through multi spectroscopy and molecular dynamics and also evaluated its effects on colorectal cancer. The binding constants of ctDNA-quercetin and HSA-quercetin complexes at 298 K, which were calculated to be (2.67 ± 0.

The cognitive dysfunction in the brain cause severe pathological consequences such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease. The current treatments are cost expensive and also cause negative side effects. Therefore it is inevitable to develop natural phyto-compounds as a drug like molecules to treat neurodegenerative diseases.

Polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDEs) are a prevalent group of brominated flame retardants (BFRs) added to several products such as electronics, plastics, and textiles to reduce their flammability. They are reported as endocrine disruptors and neurodevelopmental toxicants that can accumulate in human and wildlife tissues, thus making their ability to leach out of products into the environment a great cause for concern. In this study, zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryos and larvae were exposed to a wide concentration range (1.
