Exploring the impact of Rubus ulmifolius leaf cream on wound healing in an in vivo model: VEGF, PDGF, and cytokine dynamics.

Rubus ulmifolius (RUI) Schott, commonly known as wild blackberry, is a perennial plant recognized for its traditional medicinal uses and diverse biological activities. This study aimed to evaluate the wound-healing efficacy of a topical cream formulated with RUI leaf extract. Thirty Wistar rats were used to assess wound contraction over 14 days.

Synbiotic yogurt with nanoparticle entrapped rice straw hemicellulose for immediate probiotic support and prebiotic delivery.

This study presents a novel synbiotic yogurt fortified with free and PLGA-entrapped rice straw hemicellulose hydrolyzate (RSHH) to offer immediate probiotic support and sustained prebiotic delivery. RSHH, obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis, yielded 0.5 g/g hemicellulose and was rich in xylooligosaccharides (48.

Protease production by Serratia liquefaciens NRC1 using fish gut waste as a sustainable approach to antimicrobial peptide generation and combating Candida auris acquired resistance.

Background: The global rise of antimicrobial resistance has accelerated the search for sustainable and eco-friendly therapeutic alternatives. This study evaluates fish gut waste (FGW) as a low-cost, renewable substrate for producing antifungal peptides through the proteolytic activity of Serratia liquefaciens NRC1.

Result: Optimization of protease production using statistical designs resulted in a fourfold increase in enzyme yield.

Advantages and therapeutic applications of different semisolids as vehicles for nano-based systems.

The aim of this review is to highlight the role of semisolid systems as vehicles for nanovesicles and nanoparticles. In general, nanotechnology plays a critical role in facilitating the delivery of therapeutic agents to their active sites, and several nanocarrier systems have been explored for the topical administration of active components. The major disadvantage of the prepared nanosystems is their low viscosity, which reduces the time needed for enough absorption and negatively affects their stability and bioavailability.

Preservation of freshly-cut lemon slices using alginate-based coating functionalized with antioxidant enzymatically hydrolyzed rice straw-hemicellulose.

Food coatings are efficient preservative measures, a crucially needed approach to meet hunger growth as well as food management. In the current study, the construction of an efficient coating using alginate polymer fortified with antioxidant rice straw-hemicellulose hydrolysate was examined. Rice straw hemicellulose fraction was extracted under thermal alkaline conditions with a recovery percentage of 15.

Chitinase-functionalized UiO-66 framework nanoparticles active against multidrug-resistant Candida Auris.

Candida auris (C. auris) is a yeast that has caused several outbreaks in the last decade. Cell wall chitin plays a primary role in the antifungal resistance of C.

Chitosan tamarind-based nanoparticles as a promising approach for topical application of curcumin intended for burn healing: and study.

One of the most prevalent worldwide problems that affect all ages and genders is skin burn. The goal of our study was to assess the ability of curcumin nanoparticles to cure a rat burn model. Three formulations were selected after several tests were performed including investigation of encapsulation efficiency, particle size and zeta potential measurements.

Non-deteriorative eco-friendly water-saving tactic for removal of vegetable matters from wool fleece using xylanase and cellulase.

The carbonization of wool fleece (WF) is conducted to remove the adhered vegetable matter (VM) from contaminated WF using sulfuric acid, followed by drying and backing. This process has a deteriorative effect on WF and requires a tremendous quantity of water for rinsing WF after carbonization to remove any HSO residuals. Herein, we propose an alternative eco-friendly water-saving process for the removal of VM from WF using enzymes.

Production of prebiotic chitooligosaccharide and its nano/microencapsulation for the production of functional yoghurt.

Production and potential application of chitooligosaccharide is reported in this study. Chitooligosaccharide was produced by enzymatic hydrolysis of chitosan using Bacillus cereus chitosanase. The chitooligosaccharide was characterized, and its prebiotic activity together with the antioxidant activity were evaluated and compared to marketed standard and chitosan.
