Food fortification through the increase and/or modulation of bioactive compounds has become a major goal for preventing several diseases, including cancer. Here, strawberry lines cv. Calypso transformed with construct containing an anthocyanidin synthase (ANS) gene were produced to study effects on anthocyanin biosynthesis, metabolism, and transcriptome. Three ANS transgenic (ANS L5, L15, L18) analyzed phytochemical composition total antioxidant capacity (TAC), their fruit extracts assessed...

Abstract We describe the biological effects of a polyphenol-rich strawberry extract (PRSE), obtained from “Alba” variety, on highly aggressive and invasive basal-like breast cancer cell line A17. Dose-response time-course experiments showed that PRSE is able to decrease cellular viability A17 cells in time- dose-dependent manner. effect survival was investigated other tumor normal lines both mouse human origin, demonstrating more active against cells. Cytofluorimetric analysis demonstrated...

From the beginning of COVID-19 crisis, scientific community has been continuously trying to assess virus, its socio-environmental impacts, regulatory/adaptation policies, and plans. The emergency is develop pandemic-resilient city planning management in order tackle infectious diseases during COVID-19. Such development includes reframing unsustainable urban patterns, hazards, social inequalities be prepared for emerging cases. In this study, we focus on assessment disaster risk (DRM), which...

Honey is a natural product known to modulate several biological activities including cancer. The aim of the present study was examine phytochemical content and antioxidant activity Strawberry tree (Arbutus unedo) honey (STH) its cytotoxic properties against human colon adenocarcinoma (HCT-116) metastatic (LoVo) cell lines in comparison with Manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) (MH). Several unifloral STH MH were analyzed for their phenolic, flavonoid, amino acid protein contents, as well radical...

Regulation of lipid metabolism is essential for treatment and prevention several chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, which are responsible most deaths worldwide. It has been demonstrated that the AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) a direct impact on by modulating downstream-signaling components. The main objective present work was to evaluate in vitro effect methanolic strawberry extract AMPK its possible repercussion human hepatocellular carcinoma cells...

Background GeneXpert MTB/RIF (Xpert) and Genotype MTBDRplus (DRplus) are two World Health Organization (WHO) endorsed probe based molecular drug susceptibility testing (DST) methods for rapid diagnosis of resistant tuberculosis. Both target the same 81 bp Rifampicin Resistance Determining Region (RRDR) bacterial RNA polymerase β subunit (rpoB) detection (RIF) resistance associated mutations using DNA probes. So there is a correspondence probes each other expected similarity binding. Methods...
