Targeting ferroptosis in cancer: molecular mechanisms and emerging therapeutic strategies

Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of regulated cell death characterized by the lethal accumulation of lipid peroxides, has emerged as a pivotal pathway in cancer biology and a promising therapeutic target. This review synthesizes the core molecular machinery governing ferroptos...

Assessing the impact of land use changes, dams, and water transfers on river sustainability

Land use changes (LUC) and river overexploitation present critical challenges to the sustainability of aquatic ecosystems. This study offers a novel and comprehensive assessment of the impacts of human interventions, specifically LUC, dam construction, and water transfer projects...

Potential of Selenium Effect in Broccoli Microgreen under Various Artificial Light Quality

Abstract Microgreens, as a crop with fast growth and high nutritional value, are becoming increasingly popular within plant factories. Enriching plants with selenium (Se) an increase the intake of this element in the human diet, which is often limited, so the current experiment a...

Green synthesis of silver nanoparticles using Senecio vernalis and evaluation of their multifunctional biomedical, sun protection factor and catalytic degradation activities

Green synthesis has emerged as a safe and sustainable alternative to conventional chemical methods because it avoids the use of toxic reagents and enables environmentally friendly nanoparticle production. In this study, silver nanoparticles were prepared through a green approach...

Edaphic and environmental factors shaping essential oil profiles and morphological variation in wild Carum carvi L. populations from northwestern Iran

Wild caraway ( Carum carvi L.) populations in northwestern Iran remain largely uncharacterized despite their potential as high-value genetic resources for essential oil (EO) production. This study aimed to evaluate the morphological and EO composition diversity of eight wild popu...

Purple sulfur bacteria convert aquaculture waste into antioxidant-rich single-cell protein through biofloc technology

Global aquaculture confronts twin sustainability imperatives: dwindling fishmeal supplies due to overfishing and the annual generation of over 20 million tonnes of processing by-products. Addressing these interconnected challenges, we developed an integrated bio-valorization stra...
