Multifunctional Nanosystem for Dual Anti-Inflammatory and Antibacterial Photodynamic Therapy in Infectious Diabetic Wounds.

Infectious diabetic wounds present a substantial challenge, characterized by inflammation, infection, and delayed wound healing, leading to elevated morbidity and mortality rates. In this work, we developed a multifunctional lipid nanoemulsion containing quercetin, chlorine e6, and rosemary oil (QCRLNEs) for dual anti-inflammatory and antibacterial photodynamic therapy (APDT) for treating infectious diabetic wounds. The QCRLNEs exhibited spherical morphology with a size of 51 nm with enhanced encapsulation efficiency, skin permeation, and localized delivery at the infected wound site.

A lipo-polymeric hybrid nanosystem with metal enhanced fluorescence for targeted imaging of metastatic breast cancer.

Cancer metastasis plays a major role in failure of therapeutic avenues against cancer. Owing to metastasis, nearly 70-80% of stage IV breast cancer patients lose their lives. Nanodrug delivery systems are playing a critical role in the therapy of metastatic cancer in the recent times.

Sex Differences in Animal Models of Sodium-Valproate-Induced Autism in Postnatal BALB/c Mice: Whole-Brain Histoarchitecture and 5-HT2A Receptor Biomarker Evidence.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterised by problems with social interaction, verbal and nonverbal communication and repetitive behaviour. In mice, the 14th postnatal day is believed to correspond to the third trimester of human embryonic development and is considered a vital period for central nervous system development. It has been shown that ASD affects 2 to 3 times more male than female individuals.

In Situ Nanotransformable Hydrogel for Chemo-Photothermal Therapy of Localized Tumors and Targeted Therapy of Highly Metastatic Tumors.

Metastasis is one of the predisposing factors for cancer-related mortalities worldwide. Patients with advanced cancers (stage IV) receive palliative care with minimal possibility of achieving complete remission. Antibody-based therapeutic modalities are capable of targeting tumors that are confined to a particular location but are ineffective in targeting distant secondary tumors.
