The Redox Rheostat: A Review on Targeting the Oxidative Stress-to- Cell Death Continuum for Therapeutic Gain
Abstract: For a long time, oxidative stress was cast as a plain villain, something to be pushed down with antioxidants wherever it appeared. That view has changed. Reactive oxygen species (ROS) do real work in the cell. At low concentrations, molecules such as hydrogen peroxide act as signals. As stress increases, cells activate protective mechanisms to keep themselves safe. However, if the stress becomes too strong or lasts too long, these …

A Comprehensive Study of Nutrients Food in Nutraceuticals: Plant Extracts, Vitamins, Minerals, and Phytochemicals
Abstract: Nutraceuticals are biologically active substances obtained from food sources that offer health benefits beyond their basic nutritional value. They include plant extracts, vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals, each of which plays a key role in supporting health, preventing disease, and optimizing physiological functions. This review examines the role of these nutrients in nutraceutical products, with a particular focus on their mechanisms of action, therapeutic effects, and potential clinical applications. Plant extracts, …

Investigating mosquito innate immune defence mechanism towards malaria vaccine development
Abstract: Mosquito-borne diseases weigh heavily on public health across the globe. The mosquito’s innate immune system certainly decides whether malaria parasites survive inside the vector, and that sighted it as a logical place to discover new vaccine ideas. In this review, we examine how Anopheles mosquitoes defend themselves against Plasmodium parasites and how those defenses could be turned into tools for malaria control. We focus on three layers of immunity: antimicrobial …

Immunity with Herbs
Abstract: Biologically immunity is a state in which organism have biological defense to fight infection, disease or another biological invasion. Immunity is of two types, it can be innate or acquired; innate immunity is natural while acquired is not natural. There are many sign and symptoms linked with immunodeficiency, which includes recurrent infections, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, cold and flu, cold sores, etc. Poor functioning of immune system is caused by …

Immune Boosting Functional Foods for Strengthening Host Defense Mechanism to Combat in Opposition to Covid-19 and Unani Guidelines of Ayush for Its Prevention
Abstract: The Immune systems protect the host in opposition to infectious and poisonous diseases and guard from contagious agents present in the environment, such as viruses, fungi, bacteria, and parasites. Blood performs an essential position in enhancing immunity because of the arrival of white blood cells or tissues that combat in opposition to infectious diseases. Sometimes they are not able to understand those organisms. Due to this reason, we want to …

Flavonoids Regulate Airway MUC5AC Mucin Expression through Modulation of Multiple Signalling Pathways
Abstract: Airway mucus is a component of pulmonary innate immune function and plays very important role in defense against invading pathogenic microbes, chemicals and particles. The protective function of airway mucus is attributed to the viscoelasticity of mucins. Mucins are large glycoproteins play important role in cell–cell adhesion, airways protection, Nuclear-factor kappa B signalling, epidermal growth factor receptor signalling. Eleven mucin genes (among twenty identified mucin genes) have been expressed at …
