A chromosome-level genome of Chenghua pig provides new insights into the domestication and local adaptation of pigs
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 25:131796. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131796. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs a country with abundant genetic resources of pigs, the domestication history of pigs in China and the adaptive evolution of Chinese pig breeds at different latitudes have rarely been elucidated at the genome-wide level. To fill this gap, we first assembled a high-quality chromosome-level genome of the Chenghua pig and used it as a benchmark to analyse the genomes of 272 samples from three genera of three continents. The divergence of the three species belonging to three genera, Phacochoerus africanus, Potamochoeru...

Quaternary ammonium carboxymethyl chitosan composite hydrogel with efficient antibacterial and antioxidant properties for promoting wound healing
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 25:131871. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131871. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultifunctional hydrogels have been developed to meet the various requirements of wound healing. Herein, an innovative hydrogel (QCMC-HA-PEG) was formed through the Schiff base reaction, composed of quaternary ammonium-modified carboxymethyl chitosan (QCMC), hyaluronic acid (HA), and 8-arms Polyethylene Glycol aldehyde (8-ARM-PEG-CHO). The resulting hydrogels exhibited good mechanical and adhesive properties with improved antibacterial efficacy against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria compared to CMC hyd...

Decellularized periosteum and sodium alginate-based photoresponsive dressing with copper selenide nanoparticles for infected-wound healing in diabetic mice
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 25:131895. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131895. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDiabetes-related skin ulcers are of significant clinical concern. Although conventional dressings have been developed, their outcomes have not been adequate, indicating the need to investigate functional dressings for the treatment of diabetic ulcers. Copper selenide nanoparticles (Cu2Se NPs) demonstrate outstanding photoresponsiveness, which is critical to the healing process. However, their limited solubility in water restricts their application. To synthesize the ODT-PMMA@Cu2Se NP-doped decellularized periosteumâ€...

Ethnobotanical Significance, Phytopharmacology, and Toxicological Profile of Limonia acidissima L. (Rutaceae): A Review
Comb Chem High Throughput Screen. 2024 Apr 25. doi: 10.2174/0113862073285538240417051928. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMedicinal plants play a crucial role in traditional medicine, where they are extensively employed by traditional physicians for treating a wide array of ailments. Limonia acidissima (Linn), commonly known as the Wood apple and belonging to the Rutaceae family, is widely cultivated in countries, such as Pakistan, India, and Sri Lanka. The various parts of Limonia acidissima, including its roots, leaves, fruits, stem, and even the whole plant, have been traditionally used in the treatment of numerous condit...
