Application


  • Optimization of guar gum-based anti-browning coating for prolonging the shelf life of cut potatoes.: Calcium chloride dihydrate is utilized in developing an anti-browning coating for cut potatoes, significantly extending their shelf life. This application showcases its effectiveness in food preservation, ensuring quality and reducing food waste (Mondal et al., 2024).

  • Phosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C-associated phospholipid metabolism mediates DcGLRs channel to promote calcium influx under CaCl(2) treatment in shredded carrots during storage.: This study explores how calcium chloride dihydrate influences phospholipid metabolism and calcium influx in shredded carrots, enhancing their quality during storage. The research provides insights into the biochemical pathways involved in maintaining post-harvest vegetable quality (Zhang et al., 2024).

N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors (NMDARs) are ionotropic glutamate receptors that play an important role in synaptic plasticity and learning and memory formation. Malfunctioning of NMDARs, in particular the reduction in NMDAR activity, is thought to be implicated in major neurological disorders. NMDAR

Asymmetric division is crucial for embryonic development and stem cell lineages. In the one-cell Caenorhabditis elegans embryo, a contractile cortical actomyosin network contributes to asymmetric division by segregating partitioning-defective (PAR) proteins to discrete cortical domains. In the current study, we

Drug delivery systems such as microspheres have shown potential in releasing biologicals effectively for tissue engineering applications. Microfluidic systems are especially attractive for generating microspheres as they produce microspheres of controlled-size and in low volumes, using micro-emulsion processes. However, the
