These pathogens can noticeably diminish the productivity of vital crops on a global scale, with annual crop yield reductions ranging from about 20%–40% attributable to various pathogenic diseases. While the applications of chemical pesticides have proven to be effective in managing numerous diseases in primary crops, the overutilization of synthetic chemicals stimulates adverse consequences for both the environment and human health, thereby deterring the implementation of pesticides within the agricultural domain. Consequently, researchers globally have redirected their investigative efforts towards alternative, environmentally sustainable methodologies aimed at decreasing plant diseases. A diverse array of biological control agents is presently accessible for applications; however, extensive research is imperative to determine potential microbial species and their associated natural products that exhibit broad-spectrum antagonistic properties for the management of crop diseases.Item Cost Analysis of Consolidated Bioprocess Technology for Green Energy Production and Environmental Sustainability Impact(Wiley, 2026) Vikram Singh, Neeraj Gupta, Deepti Singh, Gyanendra Tripathi, Ashish, Fredrick KayusiItem Emerging Trends in Biotechnology(Book Rivers, 2026) Imran Hussain, Sujeet Pratap SinghItem Cytokines and insulin sensitivity(Elsevier, 2026) Fariya Khan, Salman Akhtar, Ajay KumarCytokine and insulin sensitivity plays crucial role in chronic inflammatory disorder known as Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus. Here we highlights the evidences of association of cytokines and insulin sensitivity as facilitators of abnormal immune response that leads to hyperglycemia, cardiovascular risk, autoimmune diseases, obesity and renal dysfunction issues. Cytokines are proteins that behave as messenger to prevent inflammation in the body but inadequate regulation can cause inflammation in the body. We will be discussing about classification of cytokines and their significance as well as understanding the objective of quantification of it in order to get broader prospects of the levels required for an effective immune response. However, it is very challenging to measure the levels of insulin and ongoing research in the quantification section is in investigation stage. Similarly, adequate insulin production facilitates balanced metabolism and therefore insulin sensitivity can spark the onset of diabetes and other metabolic disorder. Additionally, we will discuss about the molecular mechanism and factors of insulin sensitivity and how some organs do not respond to insulin thus in turn it suppress the functions of glucose in the body. Furthermore, we will elaborate about the status of molecular biomarker of cytokines and how they play an important part in the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes. So, here we will discuss different therapeutic strategies and perspectives to improve insulin sensitivity and inflammatory effects of cytokines. This chapter explores the significance, role, classification and how targeting cytokines and insulin sensitivity can help in the scope of development of new drugs that could benefit in the regulation of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.Item Emerging Technologies for Plastic Waste Breakdown(Infinite Research, 2025) Roohi, Rashmi Dubey, Shaik Alla Nazeer, V. B. R. Krishnan KItem Nanomaterials: Environmental Presence and Health Effects(Scrivener Publishing, Wiley, 2026) Misba Khan, Mariyam Rafi, Nisha Ali, Archana Vimal, Reena VishvakarmaNanotechnology is currently being used in diverse fields owing to the unique features of the nanomaterials such as enhanced mechanical, chemical, and optical characteristics, greater ratio of surface area to volume, and lower melting points. These distinct features have caused the development of nanomaterials as highly sought-after materials in biomedical, biotechnology, cosmetics, imaging techniques, energy, and electronics fields. Nanomaterials include metal oxide and polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, quantum dots, and dendrimers which have efficiently exhibited their presence and essence in the aforementioned advanced techniques and fields, however, their presence in these diverse areas has directly enhanced their presence in the environment which has ultimately caused human exposure and other living organisms to these nanomaterials through water, air, and the food chain. Specifically, nanoparticles are known to persist for long durations due to their oxidative properties, thereby exhibiting toxicity in human cells. Nanoparticles are known to accumulate in and exhibit adverse effects on the liver, heart, kidney, and other organs. Considering these negative effects of the nanomaterials, it is imperative to design a regulatory framework and specific guidelines for their safe disposal. Therefore, this chapter focuses on discussing the toxic effects of various nanomaterials, their fate in the environment, as well as their impact on human health to widen the knowledge base of the readers with the current scenario of the environmental presence and adverse consequences of nanoparticles on human health which would aid in deciphering measures to counter the growing adverse influence of these nanomaterials.
