Thrilled to share our latest research breakthrough!

-
We are incredibly proud to announce that our manuscript has been accepted forpublication in Frontiers in Nutrition! 🎉 Title: A Novel Formulation of Multi-Vitamin Fortified Beverage with Natural Antioxidant by Nano-Hybrid Encapsulation for Hydration and Immune Support The Challenge: With rising global temperatures, chronic dehydration is a growing risk—especially in the Gulf, Sahara, and Sub-Saharan regions. We set out to create a functional beverage that does more than just rehydrate. Our Solution: 🔬 A stable nanoemulsion (droplet size of 89.3 nm) that successfully combines both water-soluble (Vitamins C & B₂) and fat-soluble (Vitamins D₃ & E) vitamins—a notorious formulation challenge. 🧪 A non-conventional sequential mixing process that preserves >94% of vitamins over 12 weeks. 🌿 Incorporation of Rosmarinic Acid as a natural antioxidant (with validated Nrf2/HO-1 activation and anti-inflammatory properties). This work bridges food nanotechnology with public health, providing a clean-label, palatable solution for hydration and immune support in an era of climate change. Huge thanks to the incredible co-authors Ioannis Sarris, Vincent Chukuemeka Eze, Dilek Adali, and Walid M. Daoush for their expertise and dedication. Onwards to the next challenge! #FoodScience #Nanotechnology #FunctionalBeverage #Nutrition #ClimateChange #Hydration #Research #CCACBWA

The Certain Conventional Weapons used in Sudan Civil War

-
The conflict in Sudan, particularly the ongoing war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), has involved the use of various conventional weapons, including both light and heavy arms. Here are some of the key weapons reported in the conflict: 1. Small Arms & Light Weapons (SALW) AK-47/AKM assault rifles – Widely used by both SAF and RSF fighters. PKM machine guns – Common among infantry and mounted on vehicles. RPG-7 rocket-propelled grenades – Used against vehicles and fortified positions. DShK heavy machine guns – Mounted on technicals (improvised fighting vehicles). Sniper rifles (e.g., Dragunov SVD) – Used for long-range engagements. 2. Heavy Weapons & Artillery Mortars (82mm & 120mm) – Frequently used in urban and rural combat. BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launchers – Employed for indirect bombardment. Howitzers (e.g., D-30 122mm) – Used by SAF for artillery strikes. ZU-23-2 anti-aircraft guns – Often repurposed for ground atta...

Toxic Chemicals of Biological Origin: A Synthetic Biology Perspective

-
1.1 Introduction to Bioengineered Toxins Toxins represent a diverse class of biologically derived poisonous substances that have been weaponized throughout history. From a synthetic biology standpoint, these molecules offer both challenges and opportunities as we examine them through the lens of programmable biological systems. Modern synthetic biology approaches allow us to: Decouple toxin production from native organisms through heterologous expression systems Engineer novel toxin variants with tailored properties Develop precisely controlled delivery mechanisms Create orthogonal detection and countermeasure systems 1.2 Ricin: From Natural Product to Engineered Bioweapon 1.2.1 Synthetic Production Systems Ricin's glycoprotein structure (64 kDa) makes it an ideal candidate for recombinant production. Current synthetic biology approaches include: Expression Platforms: Yeast (Pichia pastoris) systems for eukaryotic glycosylation Cell-free protein synthesis for rapid prototy...

Center for Countermeasures against Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents Statement on U.S. Executive Order Imposing Sanctions on ICC

-
The Technical Secretariat of the Center for Countermeasures against Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents align with the statement issued by the European Union on the U.S executive Order imposing Sanction on the International Criminal Court. The sanctions impose by the United State of America on the International Criminal Court will bring a setback to the United Nation office for disarmament Affairs, as most of the treaty that ban the use of Weapon of Mass Destruction are against war crimes, genocide and human right violation. The Weapons of Mass destruction are tools used to perpetrate these crimes which is against International Humanitarian Law. The United State of America has been the pivot and one of the major founders of the ICC for the years dated back as 1919 proposed during the Paris Peace Conference after the first World War by the Commission of Responsibilities, which United State is part of this Organ. In 1937 Geneva Conference, under the auspicious of the League of Nation ...
