A comprehensive review on the role of plant-derived bioactive metabolites driving ROS-mediated apoptosis in cancer.

Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS) are essential in inducing cancer cell death through the promotion of oxidative stress, DNA damage, and the disturbance of cellular homeostasis. Natural bioactive chemicals sourced from plants and other natural products are significant for their capacity to selectively regulate ROS levels and cause apoptosis in cancer cells while sparing normal cells. The study gives a thorough summary of the molecular mechanisms of ROS-induced apoptosis, including mitochondrial damage, pro-apoptotic pathway activation, and inhibition of anti-apoptotic proteins.

System identification and robust PID controller tuning of quarter car suspension system using hybrid optimization techniques.

Developing a control solution for a quarter-car active suspension system, specifically aimed at enhancing ride comfort for individuals with spinal cord injuries while ensuring vehicle stability is important. Road irregularities are treated as external disturbances to the system. Traditional PID controllers often fall short due to issues like nonlinear dynamics, uncertain parameters, and limited robustness.

Attributes of FSW and UWFSW butt joints of armour grade AA5083 aluminium alloy: Impact of tool pin profile.

AA5083 is an alloy of military-grade aluminum used to make lightweight combat vehicles. Combining this material with traditional welding methods results in the formation of grain agglomerations, alloy separation, porosity, and pores. To overcome these shortcomings, Friction stir welding was utilized.

All-solid-state Z-scheme ZnFe-LDH/rGO/g-CN heterojunction for enhanced sonophotocatalytic degradation of ciprofloxacin: Performance and mechanistic insights.

The fabrication of all-solid-state Z-scheme sonophotocatalysts is vital for improving the transfer rate of photogenerated electrons to remove antibiotics present in wastewater. Herein, a novel indirect Z-scheme ZnFe-layered double hydroxide (LDH)/reduced graphene oxide (rGO)/graphitic carbon nitride (g-CN) heterojunction was synthesized using a simple strategy. The ZnFe-LDH/rGO/g-CN (ZF@rGCN) ternary composites were systematically characterized using different techniques.

Synergistic effect of adsorption and photo-catalysis on the removal of hazardous dyes using steam exploded banana fiber derived micro-cellulose.

The utilization of banana fiber derived from micro-cellulose (MC) was exploited as a supporting material for advanced oxidation process (AOP) on the degradation of methylene blue and methyl violet dyes in the presence of HO-UV in aqueous medium for the first time using green chemistry protocols. Additionally, it was also effectively utilized for the adsorption of methylene blue dye using addition of HO in the presence of sunlight. The MC powder was fabricated using an acid alkali process from the pseudo-stem of a banana tree.
