Asiatic black bear in Pakistan: a comprehensive review and conservation indications - Faizan Ahmad; Muhammad Rehan; Luciano Bosso; Muhammad Kabir (Mammalian Biology, 2025)
The Asiatic black bear ( Ursus thibetanus ) is considered as globally vulnerable, and its distribution in Pakistan has drastically decreased. The current knowledge around its biology and ecology is still poor. To provide crucial management and conservation recommendations for this threatened bear in Pakistan and in other areas in the world, we examined all the literature published from 1977 to 2024 on the two subspecies of U. thibetanus living in Pakistan, i.e., the Baluchistan black bear ( U. thibetanus gedrosianus ) and Himalayan black bear ( U. thibetanus laniger ). We found 59 papers on the Asiatic black bear, with the majority of the studies focusing on the bears’ existence, distribution, and human-bear conflicts, while only one study used a genetic approach. Questionnaire/interview surveys emerged as the most used method, followed by sign surveys, camera trapping, and visual observations. Most of the publications were focused on the Himalayan black bear in Azad Jammu and Kashmir and the Mansehra district (northern Pakistan), while few studies have been conducted in Balochistan since 1977 for the subspecies Baluchistan black bear. This underscores a significant geographic gap in research, particularly in the southern Pakistan regions that host the threatened Baluchistan black bear. To address these gaps and improve conservation efforts, we recommend increasing applied research both inside and outside protected areas and employing updated methodologies like camera trapping, remote sensing, ecological modelling and genetic analysis. It is imperative to conduct studies across the entire distribution range, especially in understudied areas like southern Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan, to ensure the long-term conservation of the Asiatic black bear across its entire distribution.

Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) and Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) share common risk factors that can be seen through T2D nearly doubling an individual’s likelihood of developing AD. Some AD patients show signs of metabolic dysfunction as well. This review focuses on the potential mechanisms associated with these two diseases, like insulin resistance, inflammation, oxidative damage, mitochondrial injury, and cell death. One of the notable elements in this connection is the “brain insulin resistance,” most frequently named as “type 3 diabetes,” which impairs glucose metabolism and facilitates amyloid beta (Aβ) plaque synthesis while reducing the action of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). Moreover, the overactivity of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta (GSK-3β) also triggers taurine protein pathology. Raised concentrations of glucose in blood can produce advanced glycation end products (AGEs), which further exacerbate neuroinflammation in tandem with the mitigation of neurotoxic Aβ oligomers. Inflammation and subsequent damage to mitochondria lead to the dissolution of synapses. Current vascular insults include the breakdown of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and decreased brain perfusion, along with other contributory factors to conditions conducive to neurotoxicity. Recently, novel therapies are emerging, including GLP-1 agonists, intranasal insulin, and mitochondrial antioxidants, that show surprising results for treating both conditions, but on the contrary, bioavailability and the timing of interventions remain a big challenge in the management of these diseases. Eventually, further research should center on understanding the mechanisms of integration along with the development of molecular biology, neuroimaging, and outcome-driven treatment strategies. Comprehensive strategies that exist between T2D-AD for integration and preservation of brain and metabolic health are addressed in this review. Graphical abstract

Advancing Heavy Metal Removal from Industrial Wastewater Using Oil Palm Waste–Based Adsorbent: toward Efficient Adsorption and Commercialization - Mohd Amir Asyraf Mohd Hamzah; Norhaniza Yusof; Muhammad Abbas Ahmad Zaini; Zainul Akmar Zakaria; Juhana Jaafar; Nurasyikin Misdan (Current Pollution Reports, 2025)
Purpose of Review The palm oil industry, as the largest producer of edible oil in the world, generates considerable volumes of biomass waste, including oil palm fronds, trunks, empty fruit bunches, mesocarp fibers, palm kernel shells, and palm oil fuel ash. Improper disposal of these residues contributes to environmental pollution and resource management challenges. This review aims to critically evaluate recent developments in transforming oil palm biomass waste (OPW) into low-cost, high-performance adsorbents for the removal of heavy metals from industrial wastewater, while aligning with zero-waste and circular economy goals. Recent Findings Recent studies have demonstrated that OPW-derived adsorbents, when subjected to particle size reduction and surface functionalization, exhibit significantly enhanced adsorption capacity and recovery efficiency. Notably, activated carbon nanoparticles derived from empty fruit bunch via KOH activation have demonstrated adsorption capacities exceeding 1000 mg/g for Cu 2+ and Pb 2+ , attributed to their ultrafine size and high surface reactivity. These materials also show strong reusability, with over 80% adsorption efficiency retained after multiple regeneration cycles. Integration of OPW adsorbents into dynamic systems such as fixed-bed columns, adsorption-membrane hybrids, magnetic composites, and gel matrices have been explored to improve operational stability, pollutant removal, and ease of recovery. Summary This review underscores the potential of OPW-derived adsorbents as sustainable and cost-effective alternatives for industrial wastewater treatment. The incorporation of OPW-based materials into engineered systems and the evaluation of post-treatment strategies (e.g., regeneration, reuse, safe disposal) demonstrate their applicability for real-world continuous processes. By promoting the valorization of agricultural waste and addressing current pollution control needs, these materials contribute to improved wastewater management, sustainable resource management, and industrial circularity in palm oil–producing regions. The findings offer valuable insights for environmental managers, policymakers, and industries in adopting circular economy practices and eco-friendly pollution control solutions.

Identification of a Novel GRM1 Frameshift Variant in Two Pakistani Families Broadens the Genetic Landscape of Ultra-Rare Spinocerebellar Ataxia Type 13 - Riaz Ahmad; Mina Zamani; Eleanor Self; Salah Ud Din Shah; Muhammad Naeem; Henry Houlden (The Cerebellum, 2025)
Autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 13 (SCAR13) is an extremely rare neurodegenerative disorder characterized by psychomotor delay, ranging from mild to severe intellectual disability with absent or poor speech development, nystagmus and stance ataxia. If ambulation is achieved, affected subjects often exhibit gait ataxia. Additionally, epilepsy and polyneuropathy have been reported in some patients. SCAR13 is caused by pathogenic variants in the GRM1 gene, which is predominantly expressed in the cerebellum, with lower levels in the other parts of the brain. To date, only seven reports of this rare ataxia have been published globally. Our study aimed to investigate clinical and mutation spectrum of GRM1 -associated SCAR13 disorder in nine patients of two consanguineous Pakistani families (designated here to as NP35 and NP36). We performed whole exome sequencing in the probands of the two families followed by Sanger sequencing to test variant segregation. We identified a novel GRM1 frameshift variant (NM_001278064.2):c.3525_3529del; p.(Asn1176IlefsTer71) in both families as a cause of SCAR13. It was classified as a variant of uncertain significance (PM2: pathogenic moderate 2 and PVS1: pathogenic very strong 1) according to the ACMG guidelines. The novel variant exhibited clinical heterogeneity in the two families. Moreover, scoliosis was observed in all four patients of the family NP35, a feature previously documented in only one patient worldwide. Our study expands the limited mutation spectrum of the GRM1 -associated SCAR13. Next-generation sequencing plays a pivotal role in the elucidation of inherited neurological disorders and in a better understanding of the convergent phenotypes.

Crop classification during the early stages is challenging because of the striking similarity in spectral and texture features among various crops. To improve classification accuracy, this study proposes a novel fusion-based deep learning approach. The approach integrates textural and spectral features from a fused dataset generated by merging Landsat 8–9 and Sentinel-2A data using the Gram-Schmidt fusion approach. The textural features were extracted using the multi-patch Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) technique. The spectral features, namely the Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), were obtained using the spectral index method. The five machine learning methods (deep neural network, 1D convolutional neural network, decision tree, support vector machine, and random forest) were trained using textural and spectral parameters to develop classifiers. The proposed approach achieves promising results using deep neural network (DNN), with an accuracy of 0.89, precision of 0.88, recall of 0.91, and F1-score of 0.90. These results demonstrate the effectiveness of the fusion-based deep learning approach in enhancing classification accuracy for early-stage crops.

Enhanced catalytic stability for L-Dopa synthesis through cross-linking of Al₂O₃ nanocrystals with Bacillus subtilis tyrosine hydroxylase - Areesha Batool; Sikander Ali; Aneeba Rashid; Muhammad Usman Ahmad; Saba Sana; Luiza C. Campos (World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2025)
This study focuses on enhancing L-Dopa synthesis by producing tyrosine hydroxylase from Bacillus subtilis SDSC-Env-i6 and its conjugation with aluminium oxide (Al₂O₃) nanoparticles. The free enzyme exhibited moderate activity, which was significantly improved through nanoparticle conjugation. Structural characterisation confirmed successful binding, with Al₂O₃ nanoparticles showing a crystalline nature and sizes ranging from 124 to 130 nm. Compared to the free enzyme, the Al₂O₃-conjugated tyrosine hydroxylase demonstrated markedly enhanced catalytic activity, reaching up to 15.3 ± 0.05 U/mL under optimised conditions. In contrast, maximum activities for the free enzyme were 5.5 ± 0.05 U/mL and 6.3 ± 0.11 U/mL in the presence of CuCl₂ and CaCl₂, respectively. The cross-linked enzyme also showed superior stability and efficiency across varying conditions. L-Dopa production was significantly higher with the conjugated enzyme, yielding between 0.531 and 1.105 mg/mL under optimised incubation conditions. These values were notably greater than those achieved using the free enzyme across different pH levels, volumes, and incubation times. Spectroscopic and microscopic analyses confirmed the integrity and functionality of the enzyme-nanoparticle complex. The observed improvements in both enzyme activity and L-Dopa yield were statistically significant ( p ≤ 0.05), underscoring the potential of Al₂O₃ nanoparticle-conjugated tyrosine hydroxylase as an efficient and scalable biocatalyst for commercial L-Dopa production. Determination of kinetic parameters showed maximum V max /K m (1.25 × 10 6 ) was observed when immobilized tyrosinase activity was characterized with tyrosine as substrate, with significant K cat value of 1.48 × 10 18 s − 1 .

Foliar Application of Ascorbic Acid and α-Tocopherol Enhances Salinity Tolerance in Hordeum vulgare L. by Regulating Antioxidant Enzymatic Activity and Improving Physiological and Biochemical Responses - Sadaf; Sami Ullah; Sikandar Shah; Aftab Jamal; Adil Mihoub; Muhammad Farhan Saeed; Iftikhar Ahmad; Emanuele Radicetti; Adil Zia; Andrea Mastinu; Jakub Černý (Journal of Crop Health, 2025)
Soil salinity severely impairs crop productivity by disrupting physiological and biochemical processes. This study investigated the efficacy of foliar-applied ascorbic acid (AsA) and α‑tocopherol (α-toc) in enhancing salinity tolerance in barley ( Hordeum vulgare L. cv. AJJ). A pot experiment using a randomized complete block design with three replicates was conducted under controlled conditions. Seedlings at the 4–5 leaf stage were exposed to 0, 40, or 80 mM NaCl salinity stress, followed by foliar treatments of AsA and α‑toc (150 mg L⁻ 1 ). Germination, agronomic, physiological, and biochemical parameters were analyzed. Salinity stress at 40 and 80 mM NaCl significantly reduced germination percentage (GP) by 18.6% and 18.4%, respectively, compared to the control (86.6%). Foliar application of AsA + α-toc under 40 and 80 mM stress restored GP to 82.3% and 81.7%, reflecting recoveries of 16.8% and 15.6% overstressed groups. Water content in leaves, shoots, and roots declined by 10–30% under salinity but improved by 15–25% with AsA + α-toc. Photosynthetic pigments were severely affected: chlorophyll a and total chlorophyll content (TCC) decreased by 45.7% (1.75 to 0.95 mg g⁻ 1 FW) and 10.9% (1.75 to 1.56 mg g⁻ 1 FW) at 40 and 80 mM NaCl, respectively. AsA + α-toc mitigated these losses, elevating TCC by 42.6% under 80 mM stress. Soluble protein content increased by 186% (0.50 to 1.43 mg g⁻ 1 ) under 80 mM stress but was stabilized by antioxidant treatments. Antioxidant enzymes, including superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD), surged by 40–60% under salinity, while AsA + α-toc reduced hydrogen peroxide (H 2 O 2 ) and malondialdehyde (MDA) levels by 30–50%. The combined application of AsA and α‑toc proved most effective, enhancing stress tolerance through improved osmotic regulation, antioxidant defense, and chlorophyll preservation. These findings highlight the potential of AsA and α‑toc as sustainable agronomic tools for cultivating barley in saline soils, with AsA showing marginally greater efficacy. Further field studies are warranted to validate these results under different climatic conditions.
