Dopamine neurotransmitter determination using a graphite sheet–graphene nanosensor
This study focuses on a highly sensitive, cost-effective sensor designed for dopamine detection.
Advancing Antibody Conjugates with Ubi-Tagging
Antibody conjugates are vital in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. Creating homogenous multimeric products remains challenging. Our study introduces ubi-tagging, a modular protein engineering platform using ubiquitination for site-directed antibody conjugation, innovating the process.
Smokeless tobacco (Shammah) extract: effects on hematological parameters, antioxidant defense mechanisms, and organ health in rats
Smokeless tobacco, is a form of tobacco product consumed without combustion, commonly used in various cultures, particularly in the Middle East and parts of Africa
A standardised comparison of chest and percutaneous drainage catheters to evaluate the applicability of the ‘French’ sizing units
Percutaneous drainage is a potentially organ and/or life saving procedure for accumulation of pus in infection, fluid caused by cancer or organ obstruction such as the kidney or the liver.
The fallacy across medical specialties is assuming that catheters of the same size have the same performance.
Gallic and glycyrrhetinic acids prevent azithromycin-induced liver damage in rats by mitigating oxidative stress and inflammation
This study investigates the protective effects of gallic acid and glycyrrhetinic acid against liver damage induced by azithromycin in rats. Azithromycin, a commonly used antibiotic, can cause liver toxicity due to oxidative stress and inflammation.
