Exploring The Therapeutical Potential Of Pongamia Pinnata For Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV-1)
Abstract: Objective: Pongamia pinnata (L.), commonly known as Indian beech or pongam tree, is a tropical plant renowned for its medicinal properties in traditional medicine systems. Extracts derived from various parts of Pongamia pinnata have demonstrated antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory activities. Such attributes make it a compelling candidate for exploring its therapeutic potential against HSV infections. Thymidine kinase is the target protein mostly used in the treatment of HSV1 infections. In …

Comparison of a Human Papillomavirus Test with the Hybrid Capture 2 and a Real-Time PCR Method for 18 High-Risk and Low-Risk Human Papillomavirus Infections in Women
Abstract: Squamous intraepithelial lesions (SILs), which are a kind of cancer, and HUMAN papillomavirus (HPV) viral load have frequently been investigated as a risk factor in findings that were in dispute. These studies made use of several HPV viral quantitation assays [including the commercially available hybrid capture 2 (HC2) assays], which vary in their capacity to consider variations in cervical cell collection, linear dynamic range of viral load quantitation, and identified …

Plant-Derived Vaccines: A Sustainable Approach to Disease Control for Global Health
Abstract: Plant-based vaccines present a novel and environmentally responsible approach to vaccination, with significant potential for improving both human and animal health. These vaccines are safer and less expensive than traditional vaccine manufacturing methods because they use genetically modified plants to create antigens that elicit an immune response. Plant-based systems offer a potential remedy for traditional vaccines' high production costs and environmental impact, which are growing problems. Plant-derived vaccines have shown …

A Review on The effect of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome on some Hormonal and Metabolic Disturbances in Women
Abstract: Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a common hormonal condition that affects women of reproductive age. It usually begins to appear during adolescence. The ovaries produce an abnormal amount of "androgens", which are male sex hormones that are usually found in women in small quantities. Ovarian syndrome causes hormonal imbalances, irregular menstrual cycles, increased cysts in the ovaries, in addition to hair growth all over the body, acne, and pain in …

Host-Microbiota Crosstalk in the Rumen: Signaling Pathways for Nutrient Metabolism and Disease Resilience in Dairy Cows
Abstract: The rumen serves as a highly intricate microbial ecosystem, fundamentally responsible for the degradation of fibrous plant materials in ruminant. The intricate host-microbiota crosstalk within the rumen significantly influences nutrient metabolism, growth, and health outcomes in livestock. The interaction between the host and its microbial community, mediated through signaling pathways including the production of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), bile acids, and various metabolites, is crucial for enhancing nutrient absorption, fermentation …
