Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) predominantly considered a metabolic disease is now being an inflammatory as well due to the involvement of meta-inflammation. Obesity-induced adipose tissue inflammation (ATI) one earliest phenomena in case meta-inflammation, leading advent insulin resistance (IR) and T2DM. The key events ATI are orchestrated by macrophages, which aggravate state upon activation, ultimately systemic chronic low-grade Non-Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH) through...
Purpose.: To determine if hyperosmolar stress can stimulate human neutrophils to form neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) and investigate potential strategies reduce formation of NETs (NETosis) in a environment. Methods.: Neutrophils were isolated from peripheral venous blood healthy subjects incubated iso-osmolar (280 mOsM) or (420 media for 4 hours. Neutrophil quantified using PicoGreen dye assay measure DNA. Two known inhibitors NETosis, staurosporine anti-β2 integrin blocking antibody,...
Aim: The functionalization and characterization of antibacterial nanoceria with folic acid (FA) elucidation their in vivo wound-healing application. Materials & methods: Functionalization were done FA using a chemical method activity, cellular biocompatibility application evaluated. Results: was 10-20 nm size -20.1 mV zeta potential. nanoformulation showed bacteriostatic effect along to different cell lines; 0.1% w/v spray FA-nanoceria demonstrated excellent capacity within 14 days Wister...
The intricate healing mechanism of chronic wounds and their multitude healing-related obstacles, such as infections, compromised cellular processes, impediments to the process, pose a significant healthcare problem. Exploration metal oxide nanoparticles, yttrium (Y
Agaricus duplocingulatoides (Agaricaceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is proposed here as new to science based on collections made from West Bengal, Eastern India. The morphological features together with molecular data confirms its placement in sect. Brunneopicti within subg. Pseudochitonia. A comprehensive description, illustrations and comparison morphologically phylogenetically related taxa are provided.
Five members of Agaricales (Agrocybe pediades, Calocybella swetha, Cantharocybe virosa, Lepiota echinacea, and Oudemansiella canarii) were collected from different parts West Bengal, India are reported herein with detailed morphological characters. Literature survey revealed that all the taxa represent their first distributional record state.
In this work, harvested mushroom substrate (HMS) has been explored for the first time through a comprehensive optimization study green synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). A multiple response central composite design with three parameters: pH reaction mixture, temperature, and incubation period at distinct levels was employed in study. The particle size AgNPs, UV absorbance, percentage Ag/Cl elemental ratio were considered as parameters. For each variable examined model used found to...

The varied topography, soil, and climate India, make conducive conditions nurturing the magnificent diversity macrofungi their habitats. During an exploration macro-fungal 2021, basidiocarps (Calostomataceae)...
In situ Ni–SiO2 nanocomposites were prepared from silica gels containing NiCl2 and dextrose by isothermal non reduction treatment. Analysis of the kinetic data indicates that contracting geometry nucleation growth type mechanism remain operative in 600–750°C 800–950°C temperature range respectively. However, analysis reveals solely remains over entire 600–950°C. Transmission electron microscopic (TEM) studies microstructural features are sensitive to conditions.
Abstract Introduction Assessment is an important driving force behind effective teaching-learning process; since assessment measures the outcome as per objective of education, hence it determines entire lesson plan for apposite alignment with curriculum. The process steers learners a positive pull towards desired outcome. Both summative and formative assessments focus on how individual student display his level understanding. Material & Methods study design was longitudinal follow-up...
Abstract Non-metal nanoparticles are now a days widely applied in different fields. Among various non-metal (NPs), sulfur (SNPs) one of the most significant and emerging nanoparticles. In this study, were prepared by eco-friendly method well characterized UV-visible spectroscopy, dynamic light scattering, zeta potential, transmission electron microscopy. The spherical shape with mean size 35 nm positive surface charge. Here, an attempt has been made to check vitro efficacy against...
Abstract Maghemite (γ‐Fe2O3) is a technologically important compound as it the most extensively used material for magnetic disks and tapes. Recently downsizing of electronic components need to store information in smaller volumes has created demand developing storage media with ultra fine materials. γ‐Fe2O3 also possesses high potential use magneto optical memory devices, ferrofluid biomedical devices. Therefore, preparation nanoparticles gaining considerable interest among scientists...
