Summary: This study aimed to investigate the leishmanicidal effects, cellular mechanisms, and cytotoxicity of formononetin (FMN) against Leishmania tropica. The MTT assay was used to evaluate the leishmanicidal effects of FMN on promastigotes, and its cytotoxicity effects on J774-A1 macrophage cells were examined. The levels of nitric oxide (NO), IFN-γ, and iNOS mRNA expression in infected J774-A1 macrophage cells were determined using the Griess reaction assay and quantitative real-time PCR.

Summary: Leishmaniasis is a common parasitic infection, especially prevalent among populations in low-income developing countries. The lack of effective vaccines means that chemotherapy is the primary treatment method. However, current antileishmanial drugs are limited due to their toxicity and drug-resistant strains. Therefore, there is a need for new and effective antileishmanial agents. In this study, a series of nitrofurantoin-triazole hybrids were synthesized and evaluated for their activity and cytotoxicity. One derivative, featuring a propargyl moiety, showed the highest activity against the causative pathogens of visceral leishmaniasis, with no toxicity to human cells. This compound has potential as an alternative therapy and warrants further investigation.

Summary: This study revealed the role of a global regulator, LexA, in modulating the gamma-radiation stress response of the cyanobacterium Anabaena. Proteome analysis of Anabaena strains subjected to gamma-radiation showed differential accumulation of 41 proteins, corresponding to 29 distinct proteins, with LexA regulating 27 of the corresponding genes. The regulated genes were mainly involved in photosynthesis, carbon assimilation, and oxidative stress alleviation. The study also found that LexA influenced photosynthesis and thylakoid membrane proteome even under normal growth conditions, indicating its role in stress response management.

Summary: This review summarizes the regulatory and defense mechanisms in soybean against biotic stresses, including marker resources, quantitative trait loci, and marker-trait associations. It discusses the differential expression of genes and proteins reported in transcriptomics and proteomics studies, as well as the role of signaling pathways and metabolites reported in metabolomics studies. Recent advances in omics technologies provide opportunities to enhance biotic stress resistance in soybean by altering gene regulation and/or other regulatory networks. The use of 'integrated omics' is suggested to precisely understand soybean's response to different biotic stresses, but challenges in integrating multi-omics for functional gene analysis and cultivar development need to be addressed.

Summary: The objective of this research was to compare different non-linear growth models and determine which best fits the growth and development of the pecan nut components. The findings suggest that the Gompertz model best describes the growth of the embryo and shuck, while the Logistic model performs slightly better in modeling shell growth and the shuck for the two-year data. The results provide guidance for pecan growers in fine tuning irrigation, thinning, and pest management based on an integrated growth model.

Summary: Surface-tailored lead-free halide double-perovskite (Cs2AgBiX6) thin films were used to study ion migration. A thin surface layer of BiOBr/Cl was intentionally grown on the halide films through annealing. The films were physically stacked to activate halide ion migration, resulting in homogenization of the ions and formation of a mixed phase. Absorption studies showed a redshift and a blueshift in spectra, indicating the migration of Br- and Cl- ions. XRD and XPS analysis confirmed the presence of Bi-O bonds and the migration of Cl- and Br- ions between the films. The rate constant for bromide ion diffusion increased with temperature, following Arrhenius behavior with an activation energy of 0.42 eV. The slow ion migration in Cs2AgBiBr6/Cl6 films suggests stability and high-quality.

Summary: Amyloid-fi (Afi) aggregation is crucial in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease (AD). A series of triazole-peptide conjugates have been designed and evaluated as potential ligands targeting AD. DS2, a peptidomimetic, shows the best inhibitory activity against Afi aggregation. It not only disaggregates preformed Afi42 fibrils, but also reduces oxidative stress and Afi-induced toxicity.

Summary: A new series of linker-based derivatives of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were synthesized and characterized. The study focused on understanding the switch in the anti-inflammatory and anticancer activity of compounds 8 and 10 through in-silico and in-vitro studies. The molecular docking study showed the importance of hetero atoms and proper alignment in the binding pocket for bioactivity. Compound 8 exhibited better inhibitory activity against the COX-2 target site, possibly due to the presence of 1,3-dicarbonyl interactions, whereas compound 10 showed increased potency towards anticancer activity. In-vitro assays confirmed the results obtained from the in-silico study.

Summary: Lipases have diverse substrate specificity and can be modulated at the structural and functional level for improved versions. The structural analysis of microbial lipases provides insights into the characteristics of alkaliphilic and thermophilic lipases, such as conformational changes and solvent exposure of the active site. The integration of stability features from thermophilic lipases into alkaliphilic lipases can lead to the design of novel thermo-alkaliphilic lipases.

Summary: This paper systematically reviews studies that employ machine learning, deep learning, and statistical techniques for the prediction, detection, and classification of citrus fruit diseases. Out of 78 selected papers, commonly used techniques include hyperspectral imaging systems for image acquisition, thresholding for image processing, support vector machine (SVM) models for machine learning, convolutional neural network (CNN) architectures for deep learning, principal component analysis (PCA) as a statistical model, and classification accuracy as evaluation parameters. The color feature in the RGB color space is the most popularly used feature. Comparative analysis identifies SVM as the best among ML methods, ANN as the best among neural networks, CNN as the best among deep learning methods, and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) as the best among statistical techniques. The paper concludes with meta-analysis, limitations, and future research directions.

Summary: Breast cancer is a common malignant tumor in women, and drug resistance remains a clinical challenge. In this study, a novel compound, G-5b, was developed with potent antagonistic and degradation activities comparable to the current drug fulvestrant. G-5b also showed improved stability and solubility. Mechanistically, G-5b engages the proteasome pathway to degrade ER, inhibiting the ER signaling pathway and inducing apoptosis and cell cycle arrest. In animal models, G-5b exhibited superior pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics properties. Overall, G-5b is a promising long-acting SERD worthy of further investigation and optimization.
