    Abstract Nuclear factor-Y (NF-Y) transcription factors (TFs) are conserved heterotrimeric complexes present and widespread across eukaryotes. Three main subunits make up the structural and functional aspect of the NF-Y TFs: NF-YA, NF-YB and NF-YC, which bind to the conserved CCAAT- box of the promoter region of specific genes, while also interacting with each other, thereby forming myriad combinations. The NF-YBs are expressed differentially in various tissues and plant development stages, likely impacting many of the cellular processes constitutively and under stress conditions. In this study, ten members of NF-YB family from

    Abstract Introduction: Neglected and underutilized crop species (NUCS) or forbidden crops offer tremendous potential to combat malnutrition, poverty, and global hidden hunger. Since overdependence on a few dominant cereal crops,
    Methodology: The research databases Scopus, JSTOR, Web of Science, EBSCO, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, and Academic Search were searched using relevant research queries.
    Result: Out of 2,345 hits, 99 articles pertinent to the subject domain showed that underutilized crops are nutritionally superior, contain health-promoting bioactive components, and are more climate resilient than cereal crops. However, several constraints hinder the efficient utilization of these crops.
    Discussion: Despite underutilized crops' many health benefits, improved cultivation techniques for the large-scale production of these crops are still in their infancy. Most of the time, however, the scientific knowledge gleaned from various study domains stays within the scientific community. The most crucial need of the hour, therefore, is an efficient network structure connecting governments, farmers, researchers, and people in business. Moreover, care must be taken to ensure that the policies of governments and INGOs/NGOs are properly implemented within a NUCS framework.

    Abstract A persistent issue in the agricultural sector worldwide is the intensive damage caused to crops by the geminivirus family of viruses. The diverse types of viruses, rapid virus evolution rate, and broad host range make this group of viruses one of the most devastating in nature, leading to millions of dollars' worth of crop damage. Geminiviruses have a small genome and can be either monopartite or bipartite, with or without satellites. Their ability to independently replicate within the plant without integration into the host genome and the relatively easy handling make them excellent candidates for plant bioengineering. This aspect is of great importance as geminiviruses can act as natural nanoparticles in plants which can be utilized for a plethora of functions ranging from vaccine development systems to geminivirus-induced gene silencing (GIGS), through deconstructed viral vectors. Thus, the investigation of these plant viruses is pertinent to understanding their crucial roles in nature and subsequently utilizing them as beneficial tools in functional genomics. This review, therefore, highlights some of the characteristics of these viruses that can be deemed significant and the subsequent successful case studies for exploitation of these potentially significant pathogens for role mining in functional biology.

    Abstract Wound dressings play a crucial role in facilitating optimal wound healing and protecting against microbial infections. However, existing commercial options often fall short in addressing chronic infections due to antibiotic resistance and the limited spectrum of activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria frequently encountered at wound sites. Additionally, complex fabrication processes and cumbersome administration strategies pose challenges for cost-effective wound dressing development. Consequently, there is a pressing need to explore easily engineered biocompatible biomaterials as alternative solutions to combat these challenging wound infections. In this study, we present the development of an anti-infective hydrogel, P-BAC (polymeric bactericidal hydrogel), which exhibits simple administration and promotes efficient wound healing. P-BAC is synthesized via a one-step fabrication method that involves the noncovalent cross-linking of poly(vinyl alcohol),

    Abstract Manifestation of resistance in methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) against multiple antibiotics demands an effective strategy to counter the menace of the pathogen. To address this challenge, the current study explores quinoxaline-based synthetic ligands as an adjuvant material to target MRSA in a combination therapy regimen. Amongst the tested ligands (C1-C4), only C2 was bactericidal against the MRSA strain S. aureus 4 s, with a minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) of 32 μM. C2 displayed a membrane-directed activity and could effectively hinder MRSA biofilm formation. A quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) analysis indicated that C2 downregulated expression of the regulator gene agrC and reduced the fold change in the expression of adhesin genes fnbA and cnbA in MRSA in a dose-dependent manner. C2 enabled a 4-fold reduction in the MIC of ciprofloxacin (CPX) and in presence of 10 μM C2 and 8.0 μM CPX, growth of MRSA was arrested. Furthermore, a combination of 10 μM C2 and 12 μM CPX could strongly inhibit MRSA biofilm formation and reduce biofilm metabolic activity. The minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBIC) of CPX against S. aureus 4 s biofilm was reduced and a synergy resulted between C2 and CPX. In a combinatorial treatment regimen, C2 could prevent emergence of CPX resistance and arrest growth of MRSA till 360 generations. C2 could also be leveraged in combination treatment (12 μM CPX and 10 μM C2) to target MRSA in an in vitro bone cell infection model, wherein MRSA cell adhesion and invasion onto cultured MG-63 cells was only ~17 % and ~ 0.37 %, respectively. The combinatorial treatment regimen was also biocompatible as the viability of MG-63 cells was high (~ 91 %). Thus, C2 is a promising adjuvant material to counter antibiotic-refractory therapy and mitigate MRSA-mediated bone cell infection.

    Abstract Background: Verruca vulgaris or common wart is a very common dermatological condition resulting from human papillomavirus infection affecting epithelial tissues of the skin and mucous membrane. Only destructive therapies are available in modern medicine for the treatment of such conditions.
    Case: The case was reported at a health camp with warts on the right hand. The patient did not manifest many symptoms in the initial case recording, but on further skilful enquiry elicited symptoms which helped in the selection of remedy. Adequate patience and timely repetition of remedies helped to recover the lesion within 58 days of initiation of treatment.
    Conclusion: Warts are a very common condition reporting at the clinic of homoeopathic physicians expecting a recovery in a mild manner. This case reports that such a condition can be efficiently treated rapidly by homoeopathy.
