Nanofiber membranes, produced through electrospinning, offer significant promise in the biomedical field due to their large surface area and strong mechanical properties. Their versatility is evident across applications such as drug delivery, wound healing, filtration, catalysis, and heritage conservation. However, the potential of electrospun membranes for advanced biomedical uses, like medical ultrasonic couplants, remains largely untapped.

However, its utilization in the cosmetic industry remains relatively underexplored. To address the challenges associated with skin damage caused by preservatives and thickeners used for extending the shelf life of conventional products, a soothing lavender-scented electrospun fibrous eye mask with coaxial layers was developed using the electrospinning technique.

It has attracted significant attention in healthcare, and identifying effective strategies for the treatment and relief of cancer pain requires urgency. Drug delivery systems (DDSs) offer the advantages of excellent efficacy, low cost, and low toxicity for targeting drugs to tumor sites.

Therefore, our research objective is first to elucidate the mechanism and role of CRGs in COVID-19.

Refined nursing is beneficial to the recovery of gastrointestinal function of tumor patients after operation. Traditional Chinese medicine and Western medicine have their own advantages in the treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunction after tumor operation and the combined application of the two is more ideal.

We found that small molecule 2-(1H-indole-3-carbonyl)-thiazole-4-carboxylic acid methyl ester (ITE), an endogenous aryl hydrocarbon receptor (AHR) agonist, can block more than one mode of glioma cell migration, based on cultured cell behavior captured by videos. Data from wound-healing assays and mouse xenograft glioma models corroborated ITE's migration-inhibiting effects while knocking down AHR by siRNA abolished these effects.
