Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) pose a significant global health challenge, requiring innovative therapeutic strategies. Vasodilators, which are central to vasodilation and blood pressure reduction, play a crucial role in cardiovascular treatment. This study integrates quantitative structure- (QSAR) modeling and molecular dynamics (MD) simulations to predict the biological activity and interactions of vasodilatory compounds with the aim to repurpose drugs already known and estimateing their potential use as vasodilators.

- The study investigates using density functional theory (DFT) to design biodegradable hydrogels for capturing carbon dioxide (CO) to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- The research identifies four hydrogel models—polyethylene glycol, polyvinylpyrrolidone, chitosan, and poly-2-hydroxymethacrylate—that show strong binding affinities to CO, with binding energies indicating physisorption.
- Findings suggest that these materials are stable at high temperatures and highlight the potential for developing new CO capture technologies, although further optimization and environmental performance assessments are needed.
Cancer is a severe disease that, in 2022, caused more than 9.89 million deaths worldwide. One worrisome type of cancer is bone cancer, such as osteosarcoma and Ewing tumors, which occur more frequently in infants.
