Developing robust analytical techniques is a vital phase to facilitate understanding the roles and impacts of various omic profilings in cellular functions. The comprehensive analysis of various biological molecules within a biological system requires a precise sample preparation technique. Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) has proven to be an indispensable method in lipidomic analysis, providing an uncomplicated and user-friendly technique for extraction and purification of lipid components from complex biological matrices.

The repair and regeneration of critical sized bone defects in the craniofacial region requires the use of bioactive materials to stabilize and expedite the healing process. However, the existing clinical approaches face challenges in effectively treating complex craniofacial bone defects, including issues such as oxidative stress, inflammation, and soft tissue loss.

Based on the integral role of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in the treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA), much effort is exerted to develop novel localized drug delivery systems to increase their bioavailability and minimize their side effects. Artificial intelligence (AI) is acquiring an increasing role in the design of experiments being an effective tool for saving both time and resources.
