Fungal endophytes are the microbial adaptations that usually enter the plant tissues during their life cycle without harming the host plants. They are found everywhere on earth and generally depend on the hosts by developing various symbiotic relationships, like mutualism, hostility, and parasitism on rare occasions, leading to the growth and rise in the nutrient content of the hosts. Endophytes can develop tolerance in ho Read More

Osteoarthritis (OA), a chronic degenerative musculoskeletal disorder, progressively increases with age. It is characterized by progressive loss of hyaline cartilage followed by subchondral bone remodeling and inflammaging. To counteract the inflammation, synovium releases various inflammatory and immune mediators along with metabolic intermediates, which further worsens the condition. However, even after rec Read More

Background: Colorectal cancer is a leading cause of death among cancers worldwide, with the symptoms mimicking other far more common lower gastrointestinal disorders. Objective: This challenge in separating colorectal cancer from other diseases has driven researchers to investigate a noninvasive screening technique and effective method. The early detection of colorectal cancer is imperative. Biomarkers play a critical Read More

Nanotechnology has greatly impacted our daily life and has certainly yielded many promising benefits. Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2-NPs) are among those produced on a large industrial scale that have found many practical applications in industry and daily life. Due to their presence in products such as food, cosmetics, sunscreens, medications, paints or textiles, contact with TiO2-NPs in our daily life is inevitable. The sm Read More

In the current epoch, noble metals/metal oxides with precise structures are needed to develop sustainable products to improve the welfare of human beings and the environment. Nanomaterials in the regime 1 -100 nm scale are a promising material for the research fraternities owing to their stupendous properties. The metallic/metal oxide nanoparticles (silver, gold, copper oxide, iron oxide, magnesium oxide) are gainin Read More
