The study explores the synthesis of eco-friendly silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) using soybean leaf extracts and their nematicidal efficacy against Pratylenchus brachyurus, a common nematode in tropical soybean cultivation. The synthesis was performed at optimal extract concentrations, resulting in stable and reproducible nanoparticles. The AgNPs, particularly at a concentration of 6.25 mg/mL, showed significant nematicidal activity in vitro and in vivo, reducing nematode populations in plant roots without morphological alterations to the nematodes. This research highlights the potential of soybean-derived AgNPs as sustainable nematicidal solutions, contributing to eco-friendly phytonematode management in agriculture.

The Brazilian national football team drew 3-3 with Spain in a friendly match held at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium in Madrid. The match served as preparation for the upcoming Copa América.

Chenopodin, a seed storage protein in quinoa, has been used as a template to design four synthetic peptides with antibacterial and antiviral properties. The study evaluated the peptides' effects on Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, revealing that while Chen1 lacked antibacterial activity, Chen2, ChenR, and ChenW exhibited significant antibacterial effects. The peptides also demonstrated low hemolytic activity and membranolytic properties. Molecular dynamic simulations showed that ChenW forms pores in bacterial membranes. Additionally, Chen2 and ChenR significantly reduced SARS-CoV-2 infection, highlighting Chenopodin's potential in developing non-toxic, dual-acting therapeutic peptides.

The study evaluates the use of Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) radiomics to predict favourable versus unfavourable prognosis in prostate cancer patients classified as intermediate risk. It explores the potential of CBCT radiomics as a tool for monitoring treatment effectiveness during External Beam Radiotherapy (EBRT). The research involves a retrospective analysis of treatment plans from the Instituto Português de Oncologia do Porto Francisco Gentil, using various feature selection methods and classifiers to build predictive models. The study identifies six promising pipelines with high Area Under the Receiver Operating Characteristic (AUROC) values, suggesting that CBCT radiomics could provide valuable insights into treatment outcomes and help avoid overtreatment.
