Promising Prodiginins Biological Activities
ABSTRACT Prodiginins are a large family of at least 34 pyrrolic compounds, including the well‐studied red pigment prodigiosin. Prodiginins are produced by several microorganisms displaying broad biological activities, including antimicrobial, antiviral, antiparasitic, antiproliferative, and immunosuppressive activities.

Increased prevalence of potential right-to-left shunting in children with sickle cell anaemia and stroke [PDF]
'Paradoxical' embolization via intracardiac or intrapulmonary right-to-left shunts (RLS) is an established cause of stroke. Hypercoagulable states and increased right heart pressure, which both occur in sickle cell anaemia (SCA), predispose to ...

Bee‐Derived Antioxidants as a Protective Strategy Against Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Damage
Graphical abstract of Bee‐Derived Antioxidants as a Protective Strategy Against Doxorubicin‐Induced Ovarian Damage ABSTRACT Antineoplastic agents can induce tissue damage through oxidative stress mechanisms. Doxorubicin, a widely used chemotherapeutic agent, has been shown to cause permanent damage to reproductive tissues.

Cutting‐Edge Aptasensing Approaches for Electrochemical Detection of Exosomes Utilizing MXenes
This work notably summarizes research on 2D MXenes/MXene's‐hybrid‐based nanoplatforms patterned with aptamers as an alternative to antibodies affording highly sensitive and robust biosensing of exosomes as well as their efficient isolation. The exosomes are highlighted as a valuable source of biomarkers and with the immobilization approaches of ...

Abstract Background The forces underlying convergence and internalization of the teleost neural plate remain unknown. To help understand this morphogenesis, we analyzed collective and individual cell behaviors at the superficial surface of the neural plate as internalization begins to form the neural keel in the hindbrain region of the zebrafish embryo.
