Infant malnutrition and chronic aflatoxicosis in Southern Africa: is there a link?
Malnutrition accounts for more than 5 million deaths of under-5s in the developing world annually. There is mounting evidence implicating aflatoxin contamination as an important factor in infant under-nutrition. Aflatoxins have in the past been associated with the development of primary liver cancer. More recent studies link chronic aflatoxicosis to infant growth stunting and increased morbidity ...

Introduction and Detection Methods for Phytochemicals
What Are Phytochemicals? Phytochemicals are natural compounds that have only been discovered so far and are natural food pigments. The human body is unable to produce them and must obtain them from food. Soy isoflavones in soybeans, lycopene in tomatoes, catechins in green tea, carotenoids in carrots, zeaxanthin, polyphenols, etc., are all phytochemicals. Classification and Functions of Common ...

Everyone is Sick-Is it the office Air Quality?
Is Office Environment Related To Office Illnesses? Everyone is sick but do they all have the same symptoms? Headaches, flu, itchy skin, sore throats, asthma, COPD, cancer, appendicitis! That’s very important! It’s unlikely if the symptoms are different. If everyone has sore throats or upper respiratory irritation then it may be the building such as low humidity. Usually, the symptoms ...

Antibody-peptide epitope conjugate (APEC), another disguise for ADC
Background Tumor immunotherapies compose immune checkpoint inhibitors, therapeutic antibodies, tumor vaccines, cellular therapies, and so on. However, each has its own set of issues, such as the fact that CAR-T therapy is an individual therapy that is costly; immune checkpoint inhibitors are highly effective, but only in some patients. The researchers expose us to a radically different way of ...

Introduction of Chitosan as Nano-drug Delivery Carrier
Chitin is the second largest natural polymer after cellulose, and it exists widely in nature, such as shells of crustaceans such as shrimps, crabs, insects, and cell walls of fungi. Although chitin has good biocompatibility and biodegradability, its poor solubility limits its practicality in the field of biomedicine. The product of chitin deacetylation is chitosan. Chitosan is structurally ...

The Role of MMP-3: Insights into Disease Progression and Therapeutic Potential
The MMP Family Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are a family of enzymes belonging to the metzincin superfamily. There are 23 different types of secreted or membrane-anchored endopeptidases in the human body. MMPs are capable of degrading ECM proteins such as collagen, gelatin, laminin, fibronectin, fibrinogen, elastin, and proteoglycans. They were once considered regulators of the extracellular ...

Algae toxins linked to brain diseases found in Florida
An innovative field study in Southwest Florida has identified several neurotoxins in the state’s air and water. The three forms of BMAA – beta-Methylamino-L-alanine – are associated with brain diseases. The study conducted by Calusa Waterkeeper volunteers and analysed by Wyoming’s Brain Chemistry Labs identified two forms of BMAA in every sample from 945 completed over ...

Development of mRNA-Directed Delivery - LNP Delivery System
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the success of mRNA vaccines has greatly propelled the development of mRNA therapeutics. mRNA is a negatively charged nucleic acid that serves as a template for protein synthesis in ribosomes. Despite its utility, the instability of mRNA necessitates appropriate carriers for in vivo delivery. Currently, lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are the most mature approach for ...
