Article Abstract
Honeybee venom (HBV) possesses various kinds of proteins and metabolites, which are essential for their regular biological process. The presence of biologically active compounds in venom acts as a defensive substance for honeybees. The availability of peptides and enzymes might be used as potential therapeutics in healthcare sectors. The present investigation aimed to detect the low and high molecular weight compounds present in Apis cerana indica venom which was extracted by electrical stimulation method. To achieve maximum compound coverage, untargeted Liquid Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and Gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) based approaches were deployed. These combined techniques expedited the identification of 114 high molecular weight compounds, (69 protein families). The most dominant of which is the Major Royal Jelly Proteins (MRJP) family comprised of MRJPs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. MRJP 1 was found to contribute significantly among the other venom proteins with high combined peptide match scores and peptide spectrum matches. A total of 159 low molecular weight compounds were detected, which includes 136 metabolite compounds dominated by fatty acid derivatives (42.05 %) and 23 volatile compounds dominated by the alcohol group (58.16 %). The present investigation revealed a substantial contribution to the expansion of the understanding of the HBV composition and ought to be quantified to achieve the complete possible venom profile.

Background And Aim: Synthetic dyes in the textile industry pose risks to human health and environmental safety. The current study aims to examine the efficacy of a novel esterase derived from an endophyte fungus in decolorizing diverse dyes, focusing on its production, purification, optimization, and characterization.
Results: Trichoderma afroharzianum AUMC16433, a novel fungal endophyte with esterase-producing ability, was first detected from the cladodes of Opuntia ficus indica by ITS-rRNA sequencing.

Polysorbate 20 (PS20) is one of the most commonly used non-ionic surfactants in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and food products. Considered as biocompatible and non-irritating, it is further valued for its solubilising and protein stabilising properties. PS20 is manufactured through a multi-stage reaction of sorbitol with various fatty acids and ethylene oxide, resulting in a complex mixture of components with different molecular weights and polarity.

Tidal estuaries serve as critical zones for biogeochemical connectivity between terrestrial and oceanic ecosystems. With climate change magnifying the impact of flood events on riverine system, dissolved organic matter (DOM) cycling, the largest reactive elemental pool in ecosystems, in tidal estuaries tend to be more complex and remain poorly understood. To address this gap, the response of DOM dynamics to flood events in a typical tidal estuary was explored.

Objective: Long-term administration of dexamethasone (DEX) to treat severe inflammation or autoimmune disorders often result in skeletal muscle atrophy and functional decline. Exosomes facilitate intercellular communication by transferring bioactive molecules, reflecting the characteristics of their tissue of origin. Myostatin-knockout (MSTN) mice exhibit muscle hypertrophy, and their muscle-derived exosomes (KO-EXOs) retain this phenotype.

Rainfall events significantly increase dissolved organic matter (DOM) and disinfection by-product (DBP) precursors in the reservoir, threatening water supply security. However, the vertical variations and ecological drivers of DBP precursors in the deepwater stratified reservoir during rainfall events remain poorly understood. This study investigated DOM composition, DBP precursors, nutrients, metals, and algae in the Sanhekou Reservoir under stormwater influence.
