Determinants of neutralizing antibody responses after SARS-CoV-2 infection in vaccinated and non-vaccinated individuals

SARS-CoV-2 infection induces neutralizing antibodies (nAbs) which are essential for clearing the virus and protecting against severe disease. We aimed to compare nAb titers between vaccinated and non-vaccinated subjects and evaluate factors associated with nAb responses. A total...

Decellularized plant-derived scaffolds as biomimetic platforms for bone tissue engineering

Plant-derived decellularized scaffolds have emerged as sustainable and structurally versatile biomaterials for tissue engineering; however, their potential for supporting early osteogenic responses remains insufficiently explored. In this study, decellularized scaffolds derived f...

Development and physicochemical and sensory evaluation of protein-enriched lactose-free ice cream using coconut milk and chickpea

Growing global awareness of sustainability, health concerns and dietary restrictions has increased demand for lactose-free dairy substitutes. This research aimed to develop lactose-free ice cream made from coconut milk and chickpeas as plant-based alternatives. Accordingly, six f...

Environmental contamination and human health risk assessment of trace element exposure through diverse water sources

Human activities such as industrial effluents, agricultural run-off, and other land-based sources of pollution contaminate water with trace elements, posing threats to both the environment and human health. This study investigates concentrations of three trace elements, namely ni...

LC-MS analysis, In-vitro & in-silico antioxidant potential and cosmeceutical application of Crocus sativus (saffron)

The skin, a prominent organ undergoing noticeable changes over time, serves as a model for unravelling ageing complexities. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) contribute to intrinsic ageing, emphasising the need for interventions targeting skin health. This research highlights the Cro...

Effects of Dietary Organic Acid Supplementation in Coccidiosis-Challenged Broilers: A Meta-Analysis

This meta-analysis aimed to systematically assess the effects of organic acid supplementation on growth performance and disease-related parameters in broiler chickens challenged with coccidiosis. Following PRISMA guidelines, a systematic literature search was conducted across Pub...

Designing a pathway for higher education institutions to develop women entrepreneurs in the current business landscape

Purpose This study aims to highlight the role of entrepreneurial education, artificial intelligence (AI) in education, and internal locus of control in developing entrepreneurial intentions among future women entrepreneurs. To confirm the indirect paths, the mediating role of ent...

Genome-wide candidate signatures of divergent selection between broody Silkie and White Leghorn chickens revealed by high-density SNP genotyping

1. In this study, genome-wide population structure, genetic differentiation and homozygosity patterns were investigated between Silkie (SLK) and White Leghorn (WLH) chickens, using high-density autosomal SNP genotypes. These breeds were selected as they have markedly different br...

Leaf-inspired ZnO-Cr2O3/epoxy coatings with tailored visible–NIR reflectance for spectral camouflage applications

The difference in spectral response between the target and the background is very crucial to avoid target detection by surveillance systems in the visible (VIS) and near-infrared (NIR) spectral regions. In this study, ZnO–Cr 2 O 3 /epoxy composite coatings were developed using co...

Sepiolite reinforced alginate-based hydrogels for drug delivery applications

Abstract Cephradine is a first-generation bactericidal cephalosporin widely used for the treatment of urinary, respiratory and skin infections. When it is taken with the amount of 8–17%, this drug binds to serum, whereas almost 83–92% of it is released via the urinary tract witho...

Estimate ileal flow of methionine and total amino acids; supplemented rumen-protected methionine with low dietary protein diet using different in vitro digestibility techniques

It is generally accepted that amino acids (AAs) digestibility should be evaluated at the ileum level. A study was conducted, to assess the effects of varying levels of rumen-protected methionine (RPMet) supplementation, with low crude protein (CP) diet, on the total AA flow from...
