Wheat constitutes the backbone of global food supplies, and its production is directly linked to the food and nutritional security of the mounting population. Wheat is vulnerable to abiotic stresses like heat, salinity, and drought. These abiotic stresses tend to reduce the food security of the increasing population by reducing wheat production and nutritional quality. Among abiotic stresses, salinity stress (SS) has emerged as the most prevailing stress in modern high-input wheat farming system [...]

Interleukin-8 (IL-8), a pro-inflammatory cytokine, plays a critical role in immune modulation in poultry and has potential applications in veterinary and human medicine. This study investigated the effects of dietary supplementation with mealworm (Tenebrio molitor), probiotics, or their combination on IL-8 gene expression in the livers and spleens of broiler chickens. A total of 160 one-day-old broiler chickens (Ross 308 strain) were assigned to four treatments (basal diet, [...]

Ebstein's anomaly (EA) is a rare form of congenital heart disease (CHD), characterized by abnormal cardiac anatomy involving a defective tricuspid valve (TV), resulting in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) and cyanosis. EA is represented in different case scenarios with varying degrees of complexity across various age groups. It usually affects 0.2-0.7 out of 10,000 live births and accounts for 0.3%-0.6% of all CHD cases. While its occurrence is mainly sporadic, evidence from multiple studies suggest [...]

Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), accounting for approximately 85% of lung cancer cases, remains a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Genetic alteration such as EGFR mutations, tobacco exposure, and resistance to apoptosis, slows its progression and limits therapeutic success. Although targeted therapies and immunotherapy have improved outcomes for select patients, resistance remains a major challenge, highlighting the need for more effective treatments. This study investigated the pot [...]

A molecular-level understanding of cancer is essential for the development of effective therapies. Constructing protein-protein interaction (PPI) networks offers a valuable approach to identifying dysregulated driver genes and potential therapeutic targets. In this study, we modeled cancer PPI networks as metric spaces and applied mathematical and computational algorithms to analyze their structural and functional properties. Our findings reveal that these networks share a conserved architecture [...]
