Strategically engineering 2D MXene-based advanced adsorbents for sustainable wastewater remediation of dyes.

The exponential growth of the global population in the digital era has accelerated urbanization and industrialization, leading to severe complex water pollution from the discharge of toxic dyes into aquatic ecosystems. Two dimensional (2D) MXene-based nano-adsorbents recently emerged as promising candidates for developing sustainable wastewater remediation technologies due to their tunable physicochemical properties, including a high negative zeta potential, a large specific surface area, exceptional adsorption capacity, superior electrical and thermal conductivity, hydrophilicity, and rich surface chemistry. Strategic optimization approaches for MXenes, encompassing interlayer spacing modification, surface engineering, stoichiometric tuning, morphological control, bandgap engineering, membrane fabrication, hybridization, and functionalization, have significantly enhanced their adsorptive performance and dye removal efficiency for real-time wastewater treatment applications.

From Hormones to Harvests: A Pathway to Strengthening Plant Resilience for Achieving Sustainable Development Goals.

The worldwide agriculture industry is facing increasing problems due to rapid population increase and increasingly unfavorable weather patterns. In order to reach the projected food production targets, which are essential for guaranteeing global food security, innovative and sustainable agricultural methods must be adopted. Conventional approaches, including traditional breeding procedures, often cannot handle the complex and simultaneous effects of biotic pressures such as pest infestations, disease attacks, and nutritional imbalances, as well as abiotic stresses including heat, salt, drought, and heavy metal toxicity.

Biostimulation through natural biological inputs on fruiting, nutrient availability and rhizosphere microbiome in legume intercropped 'Sweet Charlie' strawberry (Fragaria × Ananassa Duch.).

Conventional agricultural practices have been associated with detrimental effects such as soil degradation, reduction in biodiversity, environmental contamination due to agrochemical use, and a decrease in the nutritional quality of crops. These challenges necessitate a transition toward sustainable and ecologically sound farming systems. Natural Farming, the regenerative agriculture has shown promising results in restoring soil organic carbon, enhancing microbial biomass and enzymatic activity, improving water retention, and supporting nutrient cycling through natural inputs.

Advances in prognostic and predictive biomarkers for breast cancer: Integrating multigene assays, hormone receptors, and emerging circulating biomarkers.

Monkeypox virus (Mpox virus) is a zoonotic orthopoxvirus that has gained increased global attention due to recent outbreaks. The current review reports the latest update of Mpox cases from 25 February 2022 to 29 April 2025. It also evaluates the possible major complications in human life caused by Mpox.

Alginate-based NPs for targeted ovarian cancer therapy: Navigating current progress and biomedical applications.

Ovarian cancer continues to be one of the most lethal gynecological malignancies, with earlier symptoms that are frequently subtle, resulting in detection at late stages. Although there are several traditional treatments, patients do not respond well to them owing to serious side effects. Alginate, a polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed (a natural polymer), has gained significant attention as an ideal biopolymer for developing drug delivery systems because of its nontoxicity, biodegradability, and ease of manipulation.

Assessment of spatial variability in soil and leaf nutrients of mango orchards using geostatistical and multivariate approaches in the Himalayan foothills.

Effective nutrient management in fruit orchards necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the spatial variability of both soil and leaf nutrients. This study aimed to assess the spatial distribution of soil fertility parameters and mango leaf nutrient concentrations across 57 orchards in the Bilaspur district of Himachal Pradesh, employing geostatistical techniques and principal component analysis (PCA). Composite soil samples were collected at two depths: surface (0-20 cm) and sub-surface (20-40 cm), along with corresponding leaf samples and analyzed for macro and micronutrient contents.

Integrons: the hidden architects of bacterial adaptation, evolution, and the challenges of antimicrobial resistance.

Integrons, a diverse group of genetic elements, have emerged as key players in bacterial adaptation and evolution. These elements, commonly found in both environmental as well as clinical settings, facilitate the acquisition, exchange, and expression of integron cassettes, allowing bacteria to rapidly adapt to changing environments and acquire antibiotic resistance. This review provides an in-depth exploration of the various classes of clinical integrons, including class 1, 2, and 3, highlighting their origins, distribution, and associated mobile elements.

Amidated xanthan gum-coated gastroretentive beads for controlled release of chebulinic acid solid dispersions.

This study investigates the usefulness of chemically modified xanthan gum (XG), a natural polysaccharide known for its mucoadhesive and swelling characteristics, in gastroretentive drug delivery systems. XG was modified through amidation using triethanolamine in the presence of 1-ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl) carbodiimide (EDC) as a coupling agent. The resulting amidated xanthan gum (AXG) exhibited significantly improved physicochemical properties, including reduced hydrophilicity, enhanced thermal stability, and increased crystallinity, as confirmed by FTIR, DSC, XRD, and ^1H NMR analyses.
