Chemical analysis and evaluation of antioxidant and antimicrobial activities of fruit fractions of Mauritia flexuosa L. f. (Arecaceae)
Editor rating: 7 / 10
Chin Ping Tan –– Evaluation of potential bioactiive compounds from a less commonly consumed fruit is an interesting topic to researchers working on the similar research area.

Sclerostin promotes human dental pulp cells senescence
Editor rating: 8 / 10
Praveen Arany –– Important data for regenerative endodontics that can, someday soon, prevent the need for root canal treatments!
13 September 2018
Cytokine and microRNA levels during different periods of paradoxical sleep deprivation and sleep recovery in rats
Editor rating: 7 / 10
Howard Young –– This is an article that addresses a understudied physical condition (at least at the moleculr level), i.e. sleep derivation. The findings represent novel data that further emphasizes the role of cytokines in host biological responses and the role of inflammation in overall host physiology.

Evaluation of buriti endocarp as lignocellulosic substrate for second generation ethanol production
Editor rating: 10 / 10
Kalliat Valsaraj –– The use of lignocellulosic ethanol is a promising alternative to fossil fuels and this paper describes a unique method using a renewable material, viz., the fruit pericarp of buriti fruit, widely grown in sub-tropical areas.
