Comparative analysis of the antibacterial efficacy and bioactive components of Thuja occidentalis obtained from four different geographical sites.

The purpose of this study was to determine whether or not there were significant differences in the antibacterial potential of Thuja occidentalis collected from four distinct geographical sites, namely Chamba (Himachal Pradesh, India), Jalandhar (Punjab, India), Aurangabad (Bihar, India) and Kakching (Manipur, India). The plant extracts were prepared in three different solvents: ethanol, methanol, and acetone. The antibacterial potential of the plant extracts was tested against five different bacterial species using well diffusion test.

Prediction and analysis of cis-regulatory elements in Dorsal and Ventral patterning genes of Tribolium castaneum and its comparison with Drosophila melanogaster.

Insect embryonic development and morphology are characterized by their anterior-posterior and dorsal-ventral (DV) patterning. In Drosophila embryos, DV patterning is mediated by a dorsal protein gradient which activates twist and snail proteins, the important regulators of DV patterning. To activate or repress gene expression, some regulatory proteins bind in clusters to their target gene at sites known as cis-regulatory elements or enhancers.

Human monkeypox: epidemiology, transmission, pathogenesis, immunology, diagnosis and therapeutics.

"Zoonoses" describe diseases that may be acquired by humans from animals. Due to the constant contact between humans and other animals, many infectious diseases are disseminated. This may happen via direct contact, such as bites or scratches, or by indirect contact, such as when eating bush meat or using contaminated animal parts.
