Detrimental Effect of Mobile Phone Radiation on Living Organisms: An Update Review
Abstract: Mobile phone has raised the risk of the tissue-level damage for all living organisms not only for human and animals but plants as well. Numerous studies have documented various biological effects of EMR including changes in cell proliferation, enzyme activity, gene expression, cell-membrane permeability and ion homeostasis as well as oxidative stress and heat-shock response. A modulated field at 900 MHz strongly inhibited the growth of and, to some extent, …

Defensive Mechanisms and Key Strategies with Its Specified Role in Mulberry Silkworm (Bombyx mori L.)
Abstract: Silkworms (Bombyx mori L.) possess a variety of defense mechanisms that play a vital role in protecting them against microbial infections and environmental stressors. These defense systems are primarily innate, relying on cellular and humoral responses. Cellular defenses include hemocytes which are responsible for processes like phagocytosis, encapsulation, and nodule formation. Humoral responses involve the production of antimicrobial peptides (AMP’s), such as cecropins, moricins, and lysozymes, which target invading pathogens. …
