Antimicrobial peptides for tuberculosis in a post-antibiotic era: from in vitro promise to therapeutic potential

Abstract Tuberculosis remains the leading cause of death from a single infectious pathogen, driven by prolonged treatment regimens and escalating drug resistance. Antimicrobial peptides represent a promising alternative therapeutic class with diverse mechanisms and limited resist...

Spatial distribution of soil macronutrients and nutrient index for sustainable agriculture in the Khulna region of Bangladesh

Abstract Purpose Evaluation of soil fertility is essential for sustainable agriculture; yet studies on nutrient distribution indices, particularly in Bangladesh, remain limited despite increasing research. The purpose of this study is to identify nutrient indices and create spati...

Soil Erosion: A Growing Threat to the Environment

Soil erosion is a major form of land degradation that threatens agricultural productivity, ecosystem stability, and global food security. Accelerated by natural processes and human activities, it removes fertile topsoil, depletes nutrients, reduces soil organic matter, and degrad...

Cross‐Cancer Profiling of CDH1 Reveals Context‐Dependent EMT Decoupling, Immune Heterogeneity, and Prognostic Variability in Epithelial Cancers

ABSTRACT Cadherin 1 ( CDH1 ) encodes E‐cadherin, a key epithelial adhesion molecule traditionally associated with tumor suppression and epithelial–mesenchymal transition (EMT). However, its roles across cancers remain incompletely understood, particularly within multilayer regula...

Management of saline soil: a review

The challenge of salinity stress management significantly influences global food production, particularly in the coastal and arid regions. This review is an initiative to explore the various saline soil management techniques used for its management around the world. Several metho...
