(MDPI, 2022-01-15)Angiogenesis is one of the hallmarks of cancer, and the establishment of new blood vessels is vital to allow for a tumour to grow beyond 1–2 mm in size. The angiogenic switch is the term given to the point where the ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Neonatal alcohol exposure (NAE) can induce oxidative stress. We determined whether zingerone (ZO), a phytochemical with anti-oxidant activity, can mitigate the negative impact of neonatal alcohol-induced oxidative stress. ...
-
(University of Pretoria, 2023)Background: Mental health is an increasing global crisis. It has large social, economic, and health costs, with stress and anxiety disorders accounting for a large portion of the impact. Biomarkers may help to improve the ...
-
(Taylor and Francis, 2023)Heavy metals are natural elements characterized by their relatively large atomic mass as well as high density. It can be introduced into the ecosystem by the mining of heavy metals from deep within the earth’s crust, thereby ...
-
(Routledge, 2023)The rise in respiratory disease has been attributed to an increase in environmental pollution. Heavy metals contribute to environmental contamination via air, water, soil and food. The effects of atmospheric exposure to ...

Investigation of the expression of pro-angiogenic markers in cutaneous tumours in vivo and in vitro (University of Pretoria, 2023)Cutaneous tumours are common types of cancers that develop from the skin and account for 40% of the cases worldwide. In particular, melanomas and cutaneous haemangiomas are commonly occurring skin tumours that are characterised ...
-
(Montenegrosport, 2023-07)Sport is a powerful development tool and social connector. Sport development programmes are often perceived as an effective means of encouraging youth development and teaching positive values, as well as providing ...

(Routledge, 2023)Acute respiratory infections (ARinf) are common in athletes, but their effects on exercise and sports performance remain unclear. This systematic review aimed to determine the acute (short-term) and longer-term effects of ...
-
(MDPI, 2023-01)Alcohol intake at different developmental stages can lead to the development of alcohol-induced fatty liver disease (AFLD). Zingerone (ZO) possess hepato-protective properties; thus, when administered neonatally, it could ...
