Deep eutectic solvents: Preparation, properties, and food applications.

Deep Eutectic Solvents (DESs) emerge as innovative 21st-century solvents, supplanting traditional ones like ethanol and n-hexane. Renowned for their non-toxic, biodegradable, and water-miscible nature with reduced volatility, DESs are mostly synthesized through heating and stirring method. Physicochemical properties such as polarity, viscosity, density and surface tension of DESs influenced their application.

SDC4-rs1981429 and ATM-rs228590 may provide early biomarkers of breast cancer risk.

In Australia, 13% of women are diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) in their lifetime with approximately 20,000 women diagnosed with the disease in 2021. BC is characterised by complex histological and genomic influences with recent advances in cancer biology improving early diagnosis and personalised treatment interventions. The Phosphatidyl-inositol-3-kinase/Protein kinase B (PI3K/AKT) pathway is essential in apoptosis resistance, cell survival, activation of cellular responses to DNA damage and DNA repair.

Formulation, development and optimization of raloxifene-loaded chitosan nanoparticles for treatment of osteoporosis.

Context: Osteoporosis (OP) is a disease of skeletal system and is associated with fragility fracture at the hip, spine and wrist. Various drugs have been used to treat OP. One of them is raloxifene hydrochloride (RLX), a second-generation selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) approved by the USFDA.
