[Uz] Xitoyning Xi'an Jiaotong universiteti olimlari bilan hamkorlikdagi navbatdagi ilmiy maqolamiz IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences (Q1, IF-3.5) jurnalida chop etildi! 📝✨
Tadqiqotimiz saraton kasalligiga qarshi kurashda mutlaqo yangi strategiyani taklif etadi: Plazma bilan faollashtirilgan gidrogel (PAH) va mis metal-organik karkas (CuMOF) nanomateriallari kombinatsiyasi. 🔬💊
Asosiy natijalar:
🧪 Sinergetik effekt: Plazma bilan ishlov berilgan gidrogel va mis asosidagi nanomaterial birgalikda qo'llanilganda, saraton hujayralarini yo'q qilish quvvati keskin oshdi.
🧬 Oksidativ stress: Bu usul melanoma (B16F10) hujayralarida kuchli oksidlanishni keltirib chiqarib, ularni o'limga (apoptoz) olib keladi.
🛡 Xavfsizlik: In vivo (tirik organizmdagi) sinovlar ushbu usulning yuqori samaradorligini va shu bilan birga biologik xavfsizligini isbotladi.
Ushbu izlanishlarimiz saratonga qarshi kurashda yangi uslub sifatida qo'llanilishi mumkin! 🚀🌟
[En] Happy to announce that our latest collaborative research with scientists from Xi'an Jiaotong University (China) has been published in the IEEE Transactions on Radiation and Plasma Medical Sciences (Q1, IF-3.5)! 📝✨
Our study introduces a promising strategy for cancer therapy by combining Plasma-Activated Hydrogel (PAH) with Copper Metal-Organic Frameworks (CuMOF). 🔬💊
Key Highlights:
🧪 Synergistic Efficacy: The combination of plasma-activated Pluronic F127 hydrogel and CuMOF shows significantly enhanced anticancer effects compared to individual treatments.
🧬 Cell Death Mechanism: The treatment induces intense oxidative stress, leading to high apoptosis rates in B16F10 melanoma cells.
🛡 Excellent Biosafety: In vivo results confirm that this synergistic approach effectively inhibits tumor growth while maintaining a high safety profile.
This research marks a significant step forward in developing next-generation cancer therapies! 🚀🌟

Ilmiy hamkorlikning yangi bosqichi: Mikrobiologiya va Plazma fizik-kimyosi uyg‘unligi 🔬⚡️

Genetika va o‘simliklar eksperimental biologiyasi instituti professori Baxtiyor Abdug'afur bilan hamkorlikda yangi va istiqbolli tadqiqotlarimizni boshladik. 🤝

Ushbu izlanishlar doirasida Baxtiyor aka tomonidan taqdim etilgan Azotobacter shtammlarini past haroratli (sovuq) atmosferik plazma yordamida turli vaqt oralig‘ida ishlov bermoqdamiz. 🧬✨

Biz avvalgi qishloq xo‘jaligi loyihalarimizda plazma bilan ishlov berish urug‘larning potensialini har tomonlama oshirganiga va hosildorlikda ijobiy natijalar berganiga guvoh bo‘lgan edik. 📈🌱 Endigi navbat — mikroorganizmlarga! 🦠

Asosiy ilmiy savolimiz: "Plazma bilan berilgan yengil stress bakteriyalarning tabiatiga qanday ta’sir ko‘rsatadi? Balki bu ularning samaradorligini yanada oshirar?" 🤔

Nasib bo‘lsa, ushbu tadqiqotlar orqali fundamental savollarga birgalikda javob topamiz 🔬

[Uz] 🌱 Sirdaryolik fermerlar bioo‘g‘itni sinovdan o‘tkazmoqda!
Rasmlarda bioo‘g‘it qo‘llashdan oldingi holat va atigi 2 kun o‘tgach kuzatilgan o‘zgarishlar yaqqol ko‘rinib turibdi. O‘simliklarning rangi to‘qroq, rivojlanishi tezroq va umumiy holati ancha yaxshilangani seziladi.
✅ Bioo‘g‘itning asosiy afzalliklari:
- o‘simlikni kompleks himoya qiladi;
- tuproq unumdorligini yaxshilashga xizmat qiladi;
- havodagi azotni o‘zlashtirishga yordam beradi;
- o‘simlikdagi xlorofill miqdorini oshiradi;
- ildiz va vegetativ o‘sishni faollashtiradi;
- turli kasalliklar va stress omillariga chidamlilikni kuchaytiradi;
natijada hosildorlik va mahsulot sifati oshishiga ijobiy ta’sir ko‘rsatadi.
🌾 Bugungi kunda qishloq xo‘jaligida bioo‘g‘itlardan foydalanish nafaqat hosildorlikni oshirish, balki tuproq sifatini saqlash, kimyoviy yuklamani kamaytirish va ekologik barqaror dehqonchilikni rivojlantirishda ham muhim ahamiyatga ega.
📌 Amaliy natijalar shuni ko‘rsatadiki, bioo‘g‘itlar qisqa muddat ichida ham o‘simlik holatiga sezilarli ijobiy ta’sir ko‘rsatishi mumkin.
[EN] 🌱 Farmers in Syrdarya region are testing biofertilizers in the field!
The difference is clearly visible in the images: the condition before biofertilizer application and just 2 days after treatment. The crop appears greener, more vigorous, and more uniform, indicating a rapid positive response.
✅ Key benefits of biofertilizers:
- provide comprehensive support and protection for plants;
- improve soil fertility and biological activity;
- help plants utilize atmospheric nitrogen more efficiently;
- increase chlorophyll content;
- stimulate root development and vegetative growth;
- enhance tolerance to diseases and environmental stress;
ultimately contribute to higher yield and better crop quality.
🌾 Today, the use of biofertilizers is becoming increasingly important not only for boosting productivity, but also for reducing chemical inputs, preserving soil health and promoting more sustainable agricultural practices.
📌 Field observations like these show that biofertilizers can produce noticeable positive effects on crop performance even within a short period of time.

Institutimizda olib borilayotgan fundamental, amaliy va innovatsion ilmiy izlanishlarni💡🧬keng jamoatchilikka yaqindan tanishtirish maqsadida ijtimoiy tarmoqlarda qisqa videoma'lumotlar 🎥 ulashib boramiz. Bizni kuzatishda davom eting! 🙌📚✨ https://www.youtube.com/shorts/9nz0n4N5IS0

Olim inson doim o‘zini isloh qilib, ilmini sayqallab borishi lozim. 📖✨
Agar men bir ilmni o‘rgandimmi — demak, uni imkon qadar tezroq boshqalar bilan ulashishim kerak. Chunki ilm faqat o‘zimiz uchun yig‘ib qo‘yiladigan boylik emas, balki jamiyatga xizmat qilishi kerak bo‘lgan ne’matdir.
Zero, o‘lim kutilmaganda keladi.
Inson ortida qoladigan eng katta meroslardan biri esa — bu ulashilgan ilm, tarbiyalangan shogird, jamiyatga foyda bergan tafakkurdir.
Ilm boshqalarga berilgan sari kamaymaydi, aksincha, yuksaladi, baraka topadi va uning foydasi kengayadi. Ilm almashinuvi kuchli bo‘lgan jamiyatning rivoji ham tezlashadi.
Shuning uchun ham ilmda ziqnalik qilish — bu olimga yarashmaydigan, salbiy xarakterdir. Buni o‘zini olim deb bilgan har bir inson o‘z tafakkuriga, zehniyatiga va qalbiga muhrlab qo‘yishi kerak. Aks holda uni ...dan farqi qolmaydi!🧠💡 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1V7NBmZXnd/
