Modified atmospheric packaging an emerging non-invasive packaging technique for strawberry preservation- a review
Strawberries are highly perishable due to their soft texture, high respiration rate, and susceptibility to microbial spoilage. Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) has emerged as a non-invasive preservation strategy to address these limitations while retaining quality. This review aims to critically…

Ninjin-yoei-to improves survival and attenuates cachexia by preserving muscle and body weight in murine models of lung cancer and fibrosis
In chronic lung diseases like lung cancer and idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, cachexia often develops, manifesting as sustained weight decline with muscle wasting. Loss of skeletal muscle mass in a cachectic condition has been associated with breathlessness, functional limitation, and poor…

The effect of prenatal sensory stimulation on the parvalbumin neurons in entopallium and visual Wulst
Conserved genetic mechanisms participate in developing brain asymmetries in vertebrates, but the effect of prenatal sensory stimulation on lateralised neural circuits is less understood. In birds, lateralisation emerges from the interaction of genetic factors and prenatal experience. Light exposure…

Anchoring permits kelp to acquire an ecological niche in coastal oceans: A model analysis
Kelps (brown algae of the order Laminariales) are foundation species in coastal temperate oceans. As ecosystem engineers, they moderate local environments, provide habitats and food, and shape community structure. Despite their high rates of primary production, kelps overall growth rates are lower…

Marine-derived prospective antibiotic armamentarium: From anti-quorum sensing to anti-biofilm and anti-biofouling biometabolites
Antibiotics have been a significant advancement in medical science in recent decades. However, they are now creating drug-resistant pathogens worldwide due to the overuse and misuse of antibiotics in human, livestock, and crop health. According to the WHO's 2019 report, around 700,000 die worldwide…

High diversity of Achromobacter sp. isolation from children with CF, a retrospective case-control study
Background: Achromobacter spp. are opportunistic pathogens in cystic fibrosis. Recent studies have suggested that colonization by Achromobacter is associated with adverse effects on respiratory function. However, this is still understudied in children, as is the relative involvement of different…

Success of mechanical application of Chondrostereum purpureum by two different cutting heads
In young boreal forests, naturally grown hardwoods are usually abundant, restricting the growth of cultivated conifers. Cutting only is inefficient due to quick resprouting of hardwoods, and therefore biological sprout control by using a decay fungus Chondrostereum purpureum (Pers. Ex Fr.) Pouzar…

A brief provision of non-alcoholic beverages reduces alcohol consumption: A pilot, single-arm study
Our previous study demonstrated that providing three cases of non-alcoholic beverages on separate occasions significantly reduced alcohol consumption among heavy drinkers. However, interventions with reduced costs are required, particularly for health promotion in the workplace. Therefore, we…
