Extracellular RNAs (exRNAs) are novel circulating factors that can be used as biomarkers in various diseases. Their unique and diverse kinds, as well as their role as biomarkers, make them significant biomarkers. There has been immense work carried out since the discovery of exRNAs in circulation and other biological fluids to catalog and determine whether exRNAs may be utilized as indicators for health and illness. In this review, we aim to understand the current state of exRNAs in relation to various diseases and their potential as biomarkers. We will also review current issues and challenges faced in using exRNAs, with clinical and lab trials, that can be used as viable markers for different diseases.
The Asparagus plant is considered to be a palatable chemical source against treating infectious diseases and flavorings. Its prevalent distribution is well-known in Asian and sub-Asian regions. Objective: To understand different activities that have been functional in the stem and leaf extracts of Asparagus officinalis including antioxidant and antibacterial activities. Further, phytochemical constituents of asparagus are also discussed. Methods: The antibacterial assay of extracts for the variety of bacteria, indicated a maximum inhibition zone against Enterococcus faecalis (ATCC 29212) (24 mm) followed by Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 25923) (34 mm), whereas Bacillus subtilis (ATCC 6633) (14 mm) at their respective temperature a minimum inhibition zone after 24 hours and 48 hours of incubation (37 °C for bacteria). Results: As a robust antioxidant reference standard, these antioxidant activities resulted in the stable radical 1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH). It can be reduced to yellow-coloured DPPH-H, reaching 75.81% of the DPPH scavenging impact at its 100% concentration in contrast to ascorbic acid. Various experiments have been carried out, including the Molisch test, Ninhydrin test, Wagner’s test, Alkaline reagent test, Froth test, Ferric reagent test, and Salkowski test for the phytochemical analysis. Conclusion: To sum that up, carbohydrates, saponins, and flavonoids are present in these extracts. These extracts were found to perform satisfactory activities in all tests.
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.
