2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 89-94
Malaria remained a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Sub-Saharan Africa, where Plasmodium falciparum demonstrates increasing resistance to multiple antimalarial agents. The molecular basis of this resistance involved complex genetic mutations affect...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 95-101
Plasmodium falciparum remained the deadliest malaria parasite, causing over 600,000 deaths annually, with antimalarial drug resistance threatening global control efforts. Multiple resistance mechanisms have emerged against quinolines, antifolates, and artemis...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 78-82
Anaemia remains a major global health burden with multifactorial aetiologies including nutritional deficiency, chronic disease, genetic disorders, and toxic exposures. Oxidative stress-an imbalance between pro-oxidant species and antioxidant defenses-plays a...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 77-83
Malaria transmission in sub-Saharan Africa remained critically dependent on Anopheles mosquito vectors, with existing control strategies including insecticide-treated nets and indoor residual spraying facing challenges from insecticide resistance, behavioral...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 71-76
Adipose tissue derived exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles released by adipocytes, stromal cells, and immune cells within fat depots. In obesity, their secretion rate and molecular cargo shift toward proinflammatory, lipotoxic, and oncogenic profile...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 63-70
Adipose tissue is now recognized as an immune organ as much as a fat depot. In obesity, expansion and stress of white adipose tissue (WAT) drive a coordinated rewiring of immune and metabolic pathways “immunometabolism” that links weight gain to insulin resis...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 57-62
Obesity is the strongest modifiable driver of type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet the mechanistic bridge between excess adiposity and systemic dysglycemia is increasingly recognized as dysfunction of adipose tissue (AT) rather than fat mass per se. In health, subcutan...
2025 | Discover Sustainability | Pp. 1-22
The resilience of hospitality businesses has received scholarly attention due to the role the businessesplay in the economic development of every country. Previous studies on the resilience of hospitalitybusinesses have not examined how sustainable leadership...
2025 | Health Science Reports | Pp. 1-13
Background: Human immunodeficiency infections have remained one of the major public health threats globally, with pronounced effects in Sub-Saharan Africa and Asia. Globally, more than 300 children and adolescents succumb to HIV/AIDS every day, with experts a...
2025 | The Journal of Anatomical Sciences | Pp. 132-142
Arsenic trioxide (As2O3) exposure remains a major public health concern due to its hepatotoxic effects, which are largely mediated by oxidative stress, inflammation, and apoptosis. Natural bioactive compounds such as Fisetin, a flavonoid found in strawberries...
