Unveiling Antioxidant and Antiproliferative Effects of Prosopis juliflora Leaves against Human Prostate Cancer LNCaP Cells.
Cell Mol Biol (Noisy-le-grand)
November 2022
Agricultural Biotechnology Department, Faculty of Agriculture, Tarbiat Modares University, Tehran, Iran.
Article Synopsis
- Herbal medications are being explored as treatments for ailments like cancer, and this study focuses on the anticancer potential of Prosopis juliflora's methanolic leaf extract specifically for prostate cancer.
- The extract showed strong antioxidant properties and significantly reduced the viability of LNCaP prostate cancer cells in a dose-dependent manner, while not harming normal skin cells.
- Key findings suggest that the extract activates apoptosis (programmed cell death) through caspase-3 activation and changes in apoptotic genes, highlighting the need for further research to confirm its therapeutic efficacy.
In vivo tests of a novel wound dressing based on agar aerogel.

Laboratory for Development and Modelling of Novel Nanoporous Materials, Hamburg University of Technology, Eissendorfer Strasse 38, 21073 Hamburg, Germany. Electronic address:
Aerogels, especially bio-based ones, present a promising option for wound dressing; specifically, because of their low toxicity, high stability, bio-compatibility, and good biological performance. In this study, agar aerogel was prepared and evaluated as novel wound dressing material in an in vivo rat study. Agar hydrogel was prepared by thermal gelation, after that the water inside the gel was exchanged with ethanol, and finally the alcogel was dried by supercritical CO.

- - Results from nearly 5,000 menstruating females indicated that vaccinated individuals experienced increased back pain, nausea, menstrual pain, and heavier bleeding compared to those unvaccinated.
- - The study concluded that the COVID-19 vaccine might influence menstrual patterns, highlighting the need for further longitudinal research to fully understand these effects.
Knowledge, Awareness, and Practices of University Students Toward the Role of Dietary and Lifestyle Behaviors in Colorectal Cancer: A Cross-Sectional Study from Sharjah/UAE.
Asian Pac J Cancer Prev
March 2022
Department of Clinical Nutrition and Dietetics, College of Health Sciences/Research Institute of Medical and Health Sciences (RIMHS), University of Sharjah, Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
Article Synopsis
- - The study highlights a rising incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) in the UAE and GCC, emphasizing the importance of dietary and lifestyle choices in its prevention, which has been understudied in the region.
- - A survey of 1,213 UAE university students revealed that while 92.7% showed good knowledge of CRC risk factors, significant sex differences were noted in dietary habits, with females generally making healthier choices.
- - Factors such as being single, undergraduate, and having a medium to low income were linked to poorer knowledge about CRC, whereas being a medical student was associated with a 55% lower risk of lacking knowledge, indicating a need for improving students' dietary and lifestyle behaviors.
Evaluation of the orally administered calcium alginate aerogel on the changes of gut microbiota and hepatic and renal function of Wistar rats.
PLoS One
September 2021
Institute of Thermal Separation Processes, Hamburg University of Technology, Hamburg, Germany.
The present study evaluates the effect of calcium alginate aerogel as a potential drug carrier, on the liver and kidney functions, and on the gut microbiota of Wistar rats. The studied alginate aerogel was prepared in the form of nanoparticles using the jet cutting technique, and they were characterized in terms of specific surface areas, outer morphology and particle size distribution. For the in vivo study, calcium alginate aerogel was administered orally, and liver and kidney functions were tested for one week and for four weeks in two distinct studies.
