In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.
Percentiles are a type of fractile that partition data into...

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

Biological Effects of Radiation

Biological Effects of Radiation

All radioactive nuclides emit high-energy particles or electromagnetic waves. When this radiation encounters living cells, it can cause heating, break chemical bonds, or ionize molecules. The most serious biological damage results when these radioactive emissions fragment or ionize molecules. For example, α and β particles emitted from nuclear decay reactions possess much higher energies than ordinary chemical bond energies. When these particles strike and penetrate matter, they...

Red Algae

Red Algae

Red algae, also known as rhodophytes, are primarily found in marine environments, though some species inhabit freshwater and terrestrial ecosystems. These organisms exist in both unicellular and multicellular forms, with some multicellular varieties reaching macroscopic sizes.As phototrophic organisms, red algae contain chlorophyll a; however, their chloroplasts lack chlorophyll b. Instead, they possess phycobiliproteins, which serve as major light-harvesting pigments, similar to those found in...

What is Conservation Biology?

What is Conservation Biology?

Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic Biology

Synthetic biology is an interdisciplinary science that involves using principles from disciplines such as engineering, molecular biology, cell biology, and systems biology. It involves remodeling existing organisms from nature or constructing completely new synthetic organisms for applications such as protein or enzyme production, bioremediation, value-added macromolecule production, and the addition of desirable traits to crops, to name a few.

Background:

Red propolis (RdProp) is a unique resin produced by Apis mellifera bees.
It is derived from the botanic source Dalbergia ecastophyllum, known in Brazil as 'rabo de bugio'.
RdProp is recognized as the 13th type of Brazilian propolis, distinguished by its unique composition rich in bioactive substances.

Purpose of the Study:

This review comprehensively examines red propolis (RdProp).
It details RdProp's botanical origin, key constituents, and biological properties.
The review also covers patents associated with this natural product.

Main Methods:

Searches were conducted using SciFinder, Google Patents, Patus®, and Spacenet.
The search focused on scientific articles and patents mentioning 'red propolis'.
Data collection extended up to August 2017.

Main Results:

RdProp demonstrates a wide range of biological properties.
These include antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antiparasitic, antitumor, antioxidant, metabolic, and nutraceutical activities.
The findings highlight RdProp's significant potential for the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Conclusions:

Existing literature primarily focuses on the pharmacological potential of RdProp.
