Genistein is a phytoestrogen that, due to its structural similarity with estrogen, can both mimic and antagonize estrogen effects. Early analysis proved that at high concentrations, genistein inhibits breast cancer cell proliferation, thereby suggesting an anticancer activity. Since then, many discoveries have identified the genistein mechanism of action, including cell cycle arrest, apoptosis induction, as well as angiogenesis, and metastasis inhibition.
For World Health Day 2022, RELX's Global Head of Corporate Responsibility, Márcia Balisciano, speaks to Dr. Rebecca Katz on this year's theme of "our planet, our health".
Our planet, our health
Are we able to reimagine a world where clean air, water and food are available to all?
Where economies are focused on health and well-being?
Where cities are liveable and people have control over their health and the health of the planet?
Although older people have been recognised as a vulnerable group in humanitarian crises, they have not traditionally been considered a priority for humanitarian assistance.
The impact of climate change and increasing demand for energy requires the development of more sustainable energy technologies. Hence, thermal energy storage (TES) methods can contribute to more appropriate thermal energy production-consumption through bridging the heat demand-supply gap. In addition, TES is capable of taking over all elements of the energy nexus including mechanical, electricity, fuel, and light modules by means of decreasing heat losses, waste recovery, and energy-saving approaches to improving the system's performance.
Healthcare Strategies and Planning for Social Inclusion and Development Volume 2: Social, Economic, and Health Disparities of Rural Women, 2022, Pages 1-42
This chapter advances the UN SDG Goal 3: Good Health, Goal 5: Gender Equity, and Goal 10: Reduced Inequalities by highlighting social determinants like gender inequality, starvation, nonavailability of basic nutrients, etc. are described in detail, on the basis of social exclusion, disparity, aging issues, domestic violence, and health problem like obstetric and reproduction.
This study compares GM (Growth Monitoring) manuals from Tanzania, India and The Netherlands with each other, and with the materials for the WHO’s training course on child growth assessment.
Nanomaterials including engineered nanomaterials and nanoplastics emerge as new pollutants to the ecosystem. In particular, studies on the adverse effects of nanomaterials on the brain are limited.
Various animal models offer opportunities to evaluate neurological effects of nanomaterials. We summarize recent studies and key findings on neurotoxicological effects of nanomaterials, focusing on zebrafish.
Using agronomic experiment data from 62 studies between 1987 and 2021, we employ a meta-analysis to analyze the factors contributing to the heterogeneous effects of wastewater irrigation on crop yield.
ARPKD is a rare disease. This review explores the genetics of ARPKD and is accompanied by a short video by the author with a summary of the article.
