Teratogenicity of Methyl Ethyl Ketone (2-Butanone) on the Development of Albino Rat Newborns
Several experimental studies reported the cellular toxicity of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) in all organelles and increase in the rate of mortality at higher doses with long times. Thus, in this study, we have evaluated the effect of perinatal exposure to methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) on the histological, biochemical, and behavioral development of newborn mice. […]
Oxidative Stress Management in Plants: A Balancing Act between Antioxidants and Redox Signaling
Plants exist in environments that continually test their ability to cope with various biotic and abiotic stressors. Many of these challenges lead to the excessive accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), causing a precarious cellular situation termed oxidative stress. Although unchecked ROS can inflict severe damage on cellular components, it is now clear that low […]
Crosstalk Between Abiotic and Biotic Stress Responses in Plants: Mechanisms, Outcomes, and Implications for Crop Improvement
Plants growing under field conditions often face multiple stress factors concurrently. These can include extremes of drought, salinity, or temperature coupled with attacks from pathogens or herbivores. Understanding how plants perceive, integrate, and respond to overlapping abiotic and biotic challenges is critical for guiding future crop improvement efforts. Complex signaling networks, involving phytohormones, transcriptional reprogramming, […]
Beyond Glycemic Control: Cardiovascular, Renal, and Hepatic Benefits of GLP-1 Receptor Agonists
The management of type 2 diabetes mellitus has traditionally been anchored in glycemic control. Although glucose regulation remains crucial, the importance of mitigating cardiovascular, renal, and hepatic complications has become an integral part of modern diabetes care. Glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) have emerged as a class of medications with substantial benefits extending beyond […]
New Plant Extracts toward Multidrug Resistance: The Convergence of Nanotechnology and Nanoscience
The relentless rise of multidrug-resistant (MDR) pathogens has severely limited the effectiveness of conventional antibiotics, posing a grave threat to public health. While plant extracts have long been recognized as rich reservoirs of bioactive phytochemicals with antimicrobial properties, their clinical translation has been hindered by issues of reproducibility, solubility, stability, and standardization. Nanotechnology and nanoscience […]
