Abstract	Objective: Regulatory T cells (Tregs) play a central role in immune responses to infectious agents and tumors. Paradoxically, Tregs protect self-cells from the immune response as a part of peripheral tolerance and prevents autoimmune disorders, whereas during the process of carcinogenesis, they are exploited by tumor cells for protection against antitumor immune responses. Therefore, Tregs are often considered as a major obstacle in anticancer therapy. The objective of this review is to provide a current understanding on Tregs as a potential cellular target for achieving therapeutic gain and discuss various approaches that are implicated at preclinical and clinical scenario. Recent findings: Several approaches like immunotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy, which reduce Tregs population, have been found to be useful in improving local tumor control. Our recent observations with the glycolytic inhibitor, 2-deoxy-D-glucose, established as an adjuvant in radiotherapy and chemotherapy of tumors also show that potential of 2-deoxy-D-glucose to improve local tumor control is linked with its ability to reduce the Tregs pool. Conclusions: Several published studies and emerging evidences indicate that suppression of Treg numbers, infiltration into the tumors, and function can improve the cancer therapy by enhancing the antitumor immunity.

Abstract	Regulatory T cells (Tregs) are important members of the immune system regulating the host responses to infection and neoplasms. Tregs prevent autoimmune disorders by protecting the host-cells from an immune response, related to the peripheral tolerance. However, tumor cells use Tregs as a shield to protect themselves against anti-tumor immune response. Thus, Tregs are a hurdle in achieving the complete potential of anti-cancer therapies including immunotherapy. This has prompted the development of novel adjuvant therapies that obviate their negative effects thereby enhancing the therapeutic efficacy. Our earlier studies have shown the efficacy of the glycolytic inhibitor, 2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-DG) by reducing the induced Tregs pool and enhance immune stimulation as well as local tumor control. These findings have suggested its potential for enhancing the efficacy of immunotherapy, besides radiotherapy and chemotherapy. This review provides a brief account of the current status of Tregs as a component of the immune-biology of tumors and various preclinical and clinical strategies pursued to obviate the limitations imposed by them in achieving therapeutic efficacy.

Abstract	Guar gum (GG) is a galactomannan obtained from the seeds of Cyamopsis tetragonoloba. GG polysaccharide is used in a range of technology arenas and its properties in water environment elicited a lot of interest. We report a simple acid hydrolysis technique to derive water dispersible spherical nanoparticles from GG for the first time without any stabilizing surfactant. The particles demonstrated colloidal stability and were observed to carry negative surface charges in aqueous environment. The TEM study of guar gum nanoparticles (GGn) indicated a size range of 30-80 nm with a mean at 48.8 nm. Mineral acid at apposite concentration have apparently solubilized the amorphous regions of the polymer chain leaving the crystalline parts. GGn were further covalently functionalized in aqueous environment with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) using a hydroxy-propyl amine spacer group. Nanoparticle fluorescence intensity can be modulated with pH changes and a significant augmentation in the intensity was noticed at the physiologically relevant range of 6-8. New fluorescently labeled nanoparticles have potential for applications in bioimaging, biomolecular interaction studies and as a pH sensing probe in sub cellular environment.

Abstract	2-Deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG) has been found to enhance the cytotoxicity of ionizing radiation and chemotherapeutic drugs in several tumor cell lines in vitro. Systemic administration of 2-DG together with localized irradiation of the tumor leads to tumor regression and cure (disease free survival), which correlate with the differential levels of anti-tumor immunity observed in Ehrlich ascites tumor (EAT) bearing mice. Macrophages being a major player of the innate immune system, we investigated the activation status of splenic macrophages during radio-sensitization of EAT in mice as well as in peritoneal macrophages ex vivo and macrophagic cell line (Raw 264.7) in vitro. Results suggest that under in vivo conditions, the combined treatment (2-DG+radiation) restores the M1 phenotype in spleen that correlated with the tumor response. However, 2-DG neither induced significant cytotoxicity nor enhanced radiation-induced cell death in peritoneal macrophages and the macrophage cell line (Raw 264.7). Further, increased arborization and enhanced functional status (expression of MHC class II, CD80, CD86 and phagocytosis) were observed after the combined treatment. Besides this activation, the combined treatment also skewed the macrophages towards M1 phenotype as evidenced by the enhanced secretion of IL-12, IL-2, TNF-α and IFN-γ. These observations suggest that 2-DG not only preserves the survival of normal macrophages during irradiation, but also activates macrophages by polarizing towards M1 phenotype, which is known to be tumoricidal in nature. This study for the first time sheds light on a potential antitumor immune activation by 2-DG involving macrophagic stimulation during in vivo radio-sensitization of tumors, besides the other known antitumor effects of this glucose analogue.

Abstract	Sufficient production, consistent food supply, and environmental protection in urban +settings are major global concerns for future sustainable cities. Currently, sustainable food supply is under intense pressure due to exponential population growth, expanding urban dwellings, climate change, and limited natural resources. The recent novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic crisis has impacted sustainable fresh food supply, and has disrupted the food supply chain and prices significantly. Under these circumstances, urban horticulture and crop cultivation have emerged as potential ways to expand to new locations through urban green infrastructure. Therefore, the objective of this study is to review the salient features of contemporary urban horticulture, in addition to illustrating traditional and innovative developments occurring in urban environments. Current urban cropping systems, such as home gardening, community gardens, edible landscape, and indoor planting systems, can be enhanced with new techniques, such as vertical gardening, hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics, and rooftop gardening. These modern techniques are ecofriendly, energy- saving, and promise food security through steady supplies of fresh fruits and vegetables to urban neighborhoods. There is a need, in this modern era, to integrate information technology tools in urban horticulture, which could help in maintaining consistent food supply during (and after) a pandemic, as well as make agriculture more sustainable.

Abstract	This work relates to guar gum benzoate self assembly nanoparticles synthesis and nano composite films development with gelatin. Guar gum benzoate was synthesized in a Hofmeister cation guided homogeneous phase reaction. Self assembly polysaccharide nanoparticles were prepared in solvent displacement technique. Electron microscopy and DLS study confirmed uniform quasi spherical nanoparticles with ζ-potential - 28.7mV. Nanocomposite films were further developed in gelatin matrix. The film capacity augmenting due to nanoparticles incorporation was noteworthy. Superior barrier properties, reinforcing and thermal insulation effects were observed in films dispersed with 20% w/w nanoparticles. Detailed FTIR studies and thermal analysis confirmed nanoparticles interactions in the film matrix. The nanocomposite film water vapour permeability was at 0.75gmm

Abstract	This work is meant for environmentally friendly synthesis and functional evaluation of silver nanoparticles in a newer cationic guar biopolymer (GGAA). Assembly of molecules in lower size range (∼ 10 nm) was attained in a biopolymer entrapped bottom-up synthesis. Guar gum is a filming biopolymer. Nanoparticles encaged in cationic guar (GGAgnC) were preserved as films for months without any significant effect on particle size, distribution or plasmonic intensity. The new nano-bio-composite and films were characterized fully in FTIR, XRD, SEM and TEM studies. Silver nanoparticles induced surface water repellency remarkably and lowered moisture permeability. GGAgnC film water contact angle was recorded as 115° while, that in case of GGAA was 59°. GGAgnC expressed intense antimicrobial activity when tested against a range of microorganisms. Immobilized silver nanoparticles in GGAA can feasibly be used as filming microbicidals suitable for textiles, packaging and biomedical device applications.

Abstract	The present work reports the synthesis of new generation semi-interpenetrating (s-IPN) hydrogels from carboxymethyl guar gum (CMGG) and gelatin with enhanced gel properties for suitable drug delivery applications. Hydrogels are three dimensional polymer networks which respond to water and ion interactions. Irreversible s-IPN hydrogels were prepared by CMGG interactions in gelatin and characterized in FT-IR, SEM and thermal studies. CMGG was synthesized by Hofmeister ion guided homogeneous phase reactions. The swelling kinetics of the newer s-IPN hydrogels followed Schott's pseudo second order model. Furthermore, the hydrogels were hemocompatible, non-cytotoxic and appropriate for applications in physiological environment. Model drug ciprofloxacin was loaded within the hydrogels and the drug release was found to be a combination of both diffusion and hydrogel degradation. New generation s-IPN biopolymer hydrogels of carboxymethyl guar gum and gelatin holds promise for its application as sustained drug delivery device or alternatively as hydrogel sorbents for bio-toxins and molecules of biomedical importance.
