Tween 80 enhanced localization of SLNs in the brain as compared to uncoated SLNs. This approach can be employed effectively to transport chemotherapeutics across the BBB for management of HIV-1 associated dementia and other ailments.
During the survey of protected forest areas ofAmbikapur in north Chhattisgarh in India for foliicolous fungi during the month of January 2018, an interesting fungal form was found infecting both attached living and dried leaves of Sonn. Based on phenotypic, microscopic, SEM based investigations and comparison with other allied taxa a new species of Mont. namely has been described. The new species shows difference in setiform conidiophore septation.
During the late summer of 2016, a pattern of infection spots were observed in different varieties of Prunus armeniaca (Apricot) and Prunus persica (Peaches) in different locations in India. The disease led to a decline in the fruit production by almost 30% in the region. Symptomatologically, the dark brown leaf spots were hologenous, scattered over the entire surface, rounded to irregular, enlarging and coalescing, which resulted in premature defoliation. Both phenotypic & genotypic observations were carried out by double beam Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA sequencing, respectively. To our knowledge it is the first report of this disease from India and solid containment measures should be imposed to restrict its spread throughout the natural range of these ecologically, economically and historically precious hosts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
