Effects of apigenin on the function of human α7-nicotinic acetylcholine receptors expressed in oocytes.

The effects of apigenin, a plant flavonoid, were investigated using the two-electrode voltage-clamp technique on the function of the cloned α7 subunit of the human nicotinic acetylcholine (α7-nACh) receptor expressed in oocytes. Currents induced by ACh (100 μM) were reversibly potentiated by apigenin with an EC value of 5.4 µM in a voltage-independent manner.

Electro-assisted microalgae cultivation, harvesting, and recovery of high-value products: A review.

Electrotechnology has recently emerged as an eco-friendly method for enhancing microalgal processes. Electric fields can be applied to microalgae at different stages to improve their biomass productivity, high-value products (HVPs) content, harvesting efficiency, and cell disruption for biomolecule recovery. Incorporating them into microalgal processes can significantly contribute to achieving a circular bioeconomy.

Synthetic Orthopantomography Image Generation Using Generative Adversarial Networks for Data Augmentation.

Objective: To overcome the scarcity of annotated dental X-ray datasets, this study presents a novel pipeline for generating high-resolution synthetic orthopantomography (OPG) images using customized generative adversarial networks (GANs).

Methods: A total of 4777 real OPG images were collected from clinical centres in Pakistan, Thailand, and the U.S.
