2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY | Pp. 78-82
Anaemia remains a major global health burden with multifactorial aetiologies including nutritional deficiency, chronic disease, genetic disorders, and toxic exposures. Oxidative stress-an imbalance between pro-oxidant species and antioxidant defenses-plays a...

Adipose tissue derived exosomes are nanoscale extracellular vesicles released by adipocytes, stromal cells, and immune cells within fat depots. In obesity, their secretion rate and molecular cargo shift toward proinflammatory, lipotoxic, and oncogenic profile...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 63-70
Adipose tissue is now recognized as an immune organ as much as a fat depot. In obesity, expansion and stress of white adipose tissue (WAT) drive a coordinated rewiring of immune and metabolic pathways “immunometabolism” that links weight gain to insulin resis...
2026 | IDOSR JOURNAL OF BIOCHEMISTRY, BIOTECHNOLOGY AND ALLIED FIELDS | Pp. 57-62
Obesity is the strongest modifiable driver of type 2 diabetes (T2D), yet the mechanistic bridge between excess adiposity and systemic dysglycemia is increasingly recognized as dysfunction of adipose tissue (AT) rather than fat mass per se. In health, subcutan...
2025 | African Journal of Law and Justice System | Pp. 205-225
Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly capable of making autonomous decisions that can cause harm. This prompts important questions of criminal liability. The existing legal frameworks built on agency and intent are inadequate to accommodate situations...
2025 | Corporate Law & Governance Review | Pp. 68-77
Lawfulness is one of the fundamentals in facilitating transparency, trustworthiness, and stability of financial markets. The latest research conducted emphasizes the overlapping connection between market integrity, sustainability, and governance (Radzi et al....
