Despite its established anti-diabetic activity, Metformin hydrochloride (MET) has been repurposed for the management of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Owing to MET high aqueous solubility and poor oral permeability, a novel nanoplatform is sought to overcome the current challenges of traditional formulations. In this study, we developed MET-bridged nanocochleates (MET-CO) using a direct bridging method followed by optimization and assessment using various in-vitro and in-vivo pharmacokinetic methods.

Breast cancer is the most common invasive cancer in women worldwide, having a significant impact on women's well-being. Early diagnosis of breast cancer followed by appropriate treatment is considered the best survival factor. Microneedles (MN) have been utilized for non-invasive localized breast cancer treatment.

Machine learning (ML) using data sets of atomic and molecular force fields (FFs) has made significant progress and provided benefits in the fields of chemistry and material science. This work examines the interactions between chemistry and materials computational science at the atomic and molecular scales for metal-organic framework (MOF) adsorbent development toward carbon dioxide (CO) capture. Herein, a connection will be drawn between atomic forces predicted by ML algorithms and the structures of MOFs for CO adsorption.

Leukemia, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is considered a serious health condition with high prevalence among adults. Accordingly, finding new therapeutic modalities for AML is urgently needed. This study aimed to develop a biocompatible nanoformulation for effective oral delivery of the phytomedicine; baicalin (BAC) for AML treatment.

Article Synopsis
  • A new type of granular activated carbon (GAC) modified with Polyethylene glycol 600 (PEG) was developed to effectively remove contaminants like Diazinon, Amoxicillin, and Crystal Violet from water.
  • The study analyzed the modified carbon's chemical properties and tested its adsorption capabilities across various conditions, finding high maximum adsorption capacities for each contaminant.
  • Results showed that the adsorption process was best described by the Langmuir isotherm and followed pseudo-second-order kinetics, with the adsorbent maintaining high efficiency over multiple cycles of use.
