Skin injuries, such as burns, can result in an open wound that can lead to the deterioration of the skin, which acts as a protective barrier against external agents, and can cause serious health problems. Pectin, a plant-derived polysaccharide, is a suitable candidate for wound care due to its gel-forming ability and biocompatibility. Pectin absorbs wound exudates to form a soft gel and is known for its strong anti-inflammatory efects.

Self-assembly synthesis of mixed-ligand (silsesquioxane/acetate) complex allows to isolate record high nuclear copper(II) Cu-cage (1). In the presence of two additional sodium ions, a unique molecular architecture, with triple combination of ligands (cyclic and acyclic silsesquioxanes as well as acetates), has been formed. The structure was established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction based on the use of synchrotron radiation.

Article Synopsis
  • Phosphoglycolate phosphatase (PGPase) is an important enzyme in photosynthetic organisms that helps process phosphoglycolate, a byproduct of Rubisco, potentially affecting the Calvin cycle.
  • Three PGPase genes were isolated, cloned, and overexpressed from a specific organism, and their expression was analyzed under varying ammonium levels.
  • The study found that all three genes produce active PGPases, with two of them being responsive to nitrogen levels and upregulated when ammonium is low, while PGPase presents mainly in three forms across higher plants and algae.

The Pseudepipona lativentris-group includes the species of the nominotypical subgenus of the genus Pseudepipona de Saussure, 1856 with long setae on the gena, the scutum, and the propleuron (former subgenus Trichepipona Blüthgen, 1951). Five species and two additional subspecies were hitherto recognized in this group, while the present taxonomic revision revealed the existence of eight species: P. beckeri (Morawitz, 1867) (Russia, Kazakhstan), P.

Article Synopsis
  • Researchers explored the Chironomidae biodiversity in Iran by expanding their collection efforts to the Elburz Mountains and Central Iranian Range, leading to new discoveries.
  • They identified and described two new species: Diamesa sahandensis sp. nov. and Sympotthastia golalae sp. nov., contributing to the existing diversity in Iran and the Palaearctic region.
  • The study also included new faunistic records for Iran, the first female description of Diamesa kasymovi, and provided a revised identification key for adult male Sympotthastia based on molecular analysis.

Article Synopsis
  • The subgenus Lyrothorax, previously thought to consist only of the species P. caspius, has been revealed to contain a species complex with three related species.
  • Two new species are described in this study: P. fritzei from Iran and P. vagus, which is also found in the Czech Republic.
  • The paper establishes a lectotype for P. caspius to clarify nomenclature and includes an identification key, images, and distribution maps, while noting uncertainties about the presence of Lyrothorax species in specific regions.

One of the preferred treatments for bladder cancer, one of the most common cancers worldwide, is cisplatin-based chemotherapy. Since most tumor cells show cisplatin resistance, it is very important to discover new agents without adverse side effects. β-arbutin, a hydroquinone-β-D-glucopyranoside, has biological properties such as antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and anticancer, and is a phytochemical widely used as a skin whitener.

Non-coding RNAs have gathered significant attention for their unique roles in biological regulation. Across a broad spectrum of developmental processes and diseases, particularly in human malignancies, ncRNAs play pivotal roles in regulatory mechanisms. MicroRNAs, long noncoding RNAs, and small nucleolar RNAs stand out among the diverse forms of ncRNAs that have been implicated in cancer.
