A native dairy-derived Streptococcus thermophilus potentiates docetaxel efficacy by modulating apoptotic and PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways in MCF-7 breast cancer cells

Docetaxel (DTX) is a widely used chemotherapeutic agent for breast cancer; however, its clinical application is limited by dose-dependent toxicity and chemoresistance. This study investigated the chemosensitizing potential of a native dairy-derived S. thermophilus strain in combi...

Anti-biofilm and quorum sensing-modulatory effects of quercetin-functionalized Capparis spinosa fruit-derived silver nanoparticles against multidrug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Abstract Biofilm formation and quorum sensing (QS) systems are key determinants of pathogenicity and therapeutic resistance in multidrug-resistant (MDR) Pseudomonas aeruginosa , making these pathways attractive targets for combating chronic biofilm-associated infections. In this...
