Musa pseudostem 3D micro pattern scaffold (MPM-3Ds) developed by freeze-drying followed by ethylene oxide sterilization yielded 5.6ng of DNA per mg of tissue, confirming its extended decellularised state. Thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle measurement, uniaxial testing, and FTIR determined thermal stability, wettability, tensile strength, and surface functional groups respectively. Micro and macronutrients, sugars, and amino acids that naturally enrich MPM-3Ds were estimated using EDAX, HPLC, and biochemical analysis. The most important finding was, non-surface functionalized MPM-3Ds supported attachment, growth, and differentiation of human mesenchyme stem cells, human primary hepatocytes like cells, primary mouse brain cortical neurons, mouse fibroblast cells, and human pancreatic cancer cells. MPM-3Ds showed in vivo biodegradation and biocompatibility in a preliminary analysis in Sprague Dawley rats. These findings illuminate nature's power to nurture cells in the micropattern cradles of MPM- 3Ds that can support innovative research in stem cell differentiation, drug and cosmetic testing, and biosensor development leading to advanced biomedical research.","PeriodicalId":424992,"journal":{"name":"The Applied Biology & Chemistry Journal","volume":"209 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131565733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ethanol was separated by fractional distillation and then estimated at 4, 6, 8 and 10 days of the fermentation process by iodometric method for 30oC. The ethanol percentage estimated by the iodometric titration method was high on the 10th day, and it was found to be 1.63 gm% compared to all days. So, the outcome of this study reveals that amla fruit can be used as a crucial constituent for the yield of ethanol with a higher commercial value.","PeriodicalId":424992,"journal":{"name":"The Applied Biology & Chemistry Journal","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-09-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133955870","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such nanoparticles may be formulated to bind to the tumor cell membrane or inhibit specific reactions of tumor biosynthetic pathway by gene repression, or directly bind to the active sites of essential enzymes in the biosynthetic pathway. Consequently, drugs are completely delivered to the desired cancerous cells without system interference. Liposomal doxorubicin and albumin-bound paclitaxel are two examples of nanotechnologically developed drugs for treating cancer.

However, there is growing evidence that rats prefer higher temperatures owing to their thermoneutral zone that lies between 28-34°C. This experiment validates the stress levels of Wistar rats of both sexes housed in conventional conditions about 24-31°C and a relative humidity of 70-92% in a tropical animal facility when compared to rats housed in controlled temperatures of 20-24°C with humidity maintained between 30-70%. Adequate air-changes to maintain ammonia-free environment was provided with a power-exhaust system in a conventional setup and with the individually ventilated caging system in the environmentally controlled group. To assess stress, faecal corticosteroid metabolite assay was done in naïve animals and in a set of animals that underwent retro-orbital bleeding under general anaesthesia. Mothering ability, fecundity and preweaning mortality were also compared between animals housed in two different conditions. Results showed no differences in stress hormone levels between the groups. However, faecal weights differed between males and females in both naïve and orbital bled groups. Animals housed in controlled environment clearly had better breeding data with lesser preweaning mortality in comparison to the conventionally housed rats. Further studies are required to elucidate whether the results are comparable when conducted during all seasons of the year at different locations across the globe.","PeriodicalId":424992,"journal":{"name":"The Applied Biology & Chemistry Journal","volume":"54 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124254318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Distributed in 44.7 million hectares, it accounts for 31.8% (5.34 million tons) of the net use of the chemical fertilizer. Continuously using chemical fertilizers in agricultural production poses a severe environmental risk. The cost of chemical fertilizers is expensive and contributing to less crop yield. There is a need to adopt alternatives for chemical fertilizers in paddy fields. Cyanobacteria are abundant in paddy fields, and it presents remarkable contribution in producing the rice crop. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen, increases the accessibility of available phosphorus, and produces innumerable plant growth-promoting factors. It requires sunlight as the source of energy for carbon and nitrogen fixation in the soil. It represents remarkable potential as a biofertilizer and thereby decreases fuel demand for chemical fertilizer production. Cyanobacterial biofertilizers are inexpensive, simple to use, and do not harm the environment.

These are the nucleotide with a ribose sugar and are found either in linear or circular form. The linear RNAs are of different types and include ribosomal RNA (rRNA), messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (t-RNA), small nuclear (snRNA) RNA, and very small/micro RNA (microRNAs). The circular (circRNA) RNA is a group of noncoding RNA, stable molecules, established recently and linked with the regulation of different genes, RNAs including microRNAs. The current understanding of these molecules suggests that these circRNAs are fairly conserved and show tissue-specific expression patterns. These molecules are connected with different pathogenic conditions and associated with verities of diseases, including cancer. CircRNAs are thus contributing to tumorigenesis, and these molecules show the potential to become future predictive biomarkers for diagnosis, prognosis and even can be targeted in personalized therapy. Hence, these bio-molecules will get exposed frequently, and their new cellular role will emerge, soon. This review outlines the current trend, limitations, and future potential of circRNA in cancer research.","PeriodicalId":424992,"journal":{"name":"The Applied Biology & Chemistry Journal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125495057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
