Medicinal properties of curcumin are widely published. Previously, researchers used curcuminoid mixture comprising three chemical forms, out of which, the highest quantity is the most active molecule-dimethoxy curcumin (DMC). Reduced bioavailability, poor aqueous solubility, and quick hydrolytic degradation of DMC have projected challenges limiting its therapeutic value.

However, concerns on the transplantable cell number requirement, cell expansion, cell viability, retained cell multipotency and the limited cell implantation time for efficient impact hinders cell therapy. Recent literature is much inclined to the superiority of the ADMSCs' secretome, pre-dominating its paracrine-mediated therapeutic impact.

Materials And Methods: A DC/TMD questionnaire and DASS-21 scale survey were completed by selected participants followed by clinical examination of TMDs symptoms in sample population.
Results: A study sample of 855 participants revealed 36.
The absence of Fc receptor binding, cost-effective production potential in large quantities in pure form, and better storage stability of avian immunoglobulin (IgY) advocate its therapeutic use as anti-snake venom (ASV). This study develops pure anti-neurotoxin (ANT- IgY) by immunizing White Leghorn hens with Cobra and Krait venoms for demonstrating antigen-antibody binding in vitro/in vivo. The purified IgY from immunized egg-yolk showed immunoprecipitation in Ouchterlony's Double Diffusion (ODD) experiment.

Regeneration of large acute and chronic wounds is a concern worldwide. The present study evaluates wound healing competence of a completely human-origin, extracellular matrix (ECM)-based skin substitute/graft. It comprises cell-less amniotic membrane (AM), clinical-grade fibrin (FIB), and hyaluronic acid (HA) termed as AMFIBHA.

However, due to the hostile nature, trauma sites like spinal cord injury can augment the ADMSC differentiation into undesirable lineages. Immersing pre-differentiated neural progenitors in a biomimetic niche during delivery could guard them against any undesired differentiation or death.

For this, a successful strategy is to inhibit in different stages of the SARS-CoV-2 life cycle and host cell reactions. The current review briefly put forth the summary of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and highlight the critical areas of understanding in genomics, proteomics, medicinal chemistry, and natural products derived drug discovery.

In this paper, we have studied the structural, microstructural, electrical, dielectric properties and ion dynamics of a sodium-ion-conducting solid polymer electrolyte film comprising PEO-NaPF+ x wt. % succinonitrile. The structural and surface morphology properties have been investigated, respectively using x-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy.

There are no studies attempted to determine the effects of different phases of menstrual cycle on frequency following response (FFR) for speech stimuli. The aim of the study was to determine the differences in latencies and amplitude of FFR waves recorded at four phases of menstrual cycle. In addition, it was also attempted to determine if there is any ear effect on latency and amplitude measures across the phases of menstrual cycle.

But due to the adverse effects of synthetic TZDs, their use is strictly regulated. The therapeutic actions of TZDs are mediated via modulation of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ).
