The Potential of Secondary Metabolites in Medicinal Plants as Anti–Quorum Sensing in Biofilms: A Comprehensive Review

Journal of Chemistry, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
The formation of biofilms occurs due to a group of bacteria gathering together. The increasing of cell density will stimulate chemical signals for bacteria to communicate through quorum sensing system. Quorum sensing plays a role for competition, virulence, resistance, and pathogenesis. Quorum sensing produces signaling response called as autoinducers.

Constructing N‐Containing Poly(p‐Phenylene) (PPP) Films Through A Cathodic‐Dehalogenation Polymerization Method

Small Methods, Volume 8, Issue 11, November 20, 2024.
The cathodic‐dehalogenation strategy is modified to simultaneously prepare two N‐containing poly(p‐phenylene)s (CityU‐23 from 2,5‐diiodopyridine (DIPy) and CityU‐24 from 2,5‐dibromopyrazine (DBPz)) and fabricate their corresponding thin films. Both polymer films display good alkaline HER performance, where the efficiency increases with the number of ...

Theranostic scope of monometallic selenium and titanium dioxide nanoparticles in biomedicine: A review

Health Care Science, Volume 3, Issue 4, Page 215-231, August 2024.
The nanoparticles (NPs) of metals and metal oxides constitute significant components of technology in terms of monometallic NPs (MNPs). Throughout the last 10 years, the most fascinating and in‐depth uses of NPs have been found in the biomedical field, which has demonstrated the therapeutic potential of these particles. Significant strides were made in

LaHT6-mediated hexose supply regulates cellulose biosynthesis in senescent luffa fruit

Industrial Crops and Products
Senescence in luffa (Luffa acutangula (L.) Roxb.) fruit adversely affects its postharvest quality and shelf life. During senescence, fiber networks developed with increased cellulose but decreased soluble sugars.

An investigation into the sensory properties of luffa [Luffa cylindrica (L.)] sap

Journal of Food Science, Volume 89, Issue 8, Page 5082-5090, August 2024.
Abstract The seeds and sap of luffa [Luffa cylindrica (L.)] are usually discarded as waste. As such, this study aimed to identify the sensory properties of luffa sap (aqueous solution) and if it can be incorporated into a food item (orange juice) for added nutritional benefits and as an alternative sweetener. A sensory trial (n = 94) asked participants

A study on fruit fly host range reveals the low infestation rate of Bactrocera dorsalis (Tephritidae) in Mayotte

Agricultural and Forest Entomology, Volume 26, Issue 3, Page 314-326, August 2024.
In Mayotte, we studied fruit fly host range 5–12 years after the invasion of the world's most invasive and polyphagous pests of fruits, Bactrocera dorsalis. Surprisingly, results show low occurrence and infestation rates of B. dorsalis. Only seven host plant species were identified over the 84 collected plant species.
