Summary: The study compared the transcriptome changes in chickpea roots and leaves under -Pi/+NO3-, +Pi/-NO3-, and -Pi/-NO3- conditions. The results showed that -Pi/-NO3- treatment had a lesser effect on gene expression changes related to Pi and NO3- transport, signalling networks, lipid remodelling, nitrogen and Pi scavenging/remobilization/recycling, carbon metabolism, and hormone metabolism compared to -Pi/+NO3- or +Pi/-NO3- treatments. Nutrient imbalance was found to be a stronger stimulus for molecular reprogramming than overall deficiency.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of starvation followed by re-feeding on the growth performance of Indian pompano juveniles. The results showed that the group starved for 1 day and re-fed for 6 days (1S) exhibited complete compensatory growth compared to the control group. The group starved for 2 days and re-fed for 5 days (2S) showed the highest growth rate and weight gain. Therefore, the study concluded that Indian pompano exhibited compensatory growth, with the magnitude and duration of this growth depending on the duration of starvation.

Summary: Paramylon, a storage polysaccharide produced by Euglena glacilis, can self-assemble into nanofibers, but they are only well-dispersed in strongly alkaline solutions. A novel method was developed to create a fiber network using paramylon without the need for additives. The process involved dissolving paramylon in dimethyl sulfoxide, adding it dropwise to ethanol, and dispersing the resulting paramylon beads in water to create submicron fibers in a web-like structure.

Summary: In the inflammation and infection caused by SARS-CoV-2, endothelial cells play a crucial role in regulating the recruitment of immune cells and interacting with monocytes, T cells, and B cells. Endothelial cells function as an integrative and active platform for immune responses, providing opportunities for therapeutic intervention.

Summary: Background: Nigella sativa has been traditionally used for medicinal purposes and has known antibacterial, virucidal, fungicidal, and antiparasitic properties. However, studies on its immunomodulatory effects are limited. This review examines in vitro and in vivo research supporting the role of Nigella sativa in modulating immune responses. The results suggest its potential as a therapeutic agent for regulating immune reactions.

Summary: Cancer is a widespread disease that causes high death rates. Traditional cancer treatments have shown inefficiency due to drug resistance and negative side effects, leading to an increased focus on bioactive phytochemicals. Polysaccharides derived from marine algal species, especially ulvan from green seaweeds, have shown antioxidant and anticancer properties. Understanding the mechanisms of ulvan's biotherapeutic activities in cancer and immunomodulation is crucial. This review highlights ulvan's anticancer and immunomodulatory effects, along with its pharmacokinetic studies. Ulvan is a potential cancer therapeutic agent that can boost immunity and may be established as an anticancer drug in the future. Additionally, its high nutritional value suggests its potential use as a dietary supplement for cancer patients.
