Candida auris—An Emerging Superbug
Abstract: Fungi are eukaryotic organisms that are found everywhere on Earth. Usually, the optimum conditions that are required for a fungus to grow are acidic pH range of 3–4 and temperature of 25–35 °C. But recently, researchers have found some strains of fungi that are sensitive to acidic pH and low temperature of 25–35 °C whereas they are resistant to basic pH and high temperature. These strains include the species of …

Paradigm Shift of Hair Dye Use from Natural to Synthetic: A Concern for Carcinogenic Trigger
Abstract: More than 60% of the young population in different parts of the world use synthetic hair dyes to enhance their looks. People prefer to use synthetic formulations over natural ones. Synthetic hair dyes consist of potentially toxic and mutagenic chemicals depending upon the class they belong to. These chemicals interact with each other to form pigment molecules. Most of the hair dyes contain aromatic amines and its derivatives to produce …

Potential Impacts of Climate Change on Insect Behavior
Abstract: Climate change is a major source of concern across the globe. It is being fueled by an increase in global mean temperature, an increase in atmospheric CO2 concentration, and an irregular shift in yearly precipitation. This will have a significant impact on the distribution, abundance, ecology, and behaviour of all species, and specifically insects, which are poikilothermic in nature. Insects will go through multiple life cycles as a result of …

Clinical Utility of Black Tea Polyphenols in Chemoprevention and Therapeutics Against Cancer
Abstract: Tea is the second-most preferred beverage produced from Camellia sinesis. It is cultivated in more than 30 countries. Several scientific studies have specified that polyphenolic compounds in tea may reduce the risk of a variety of infirmity including cancer. Most of the research evidences are available from green tea but limited information is available from black tea. Several studies have investigated both in vitro and in vivo models including rats, …
