Global initiatives aim to curb tuberculosis (TB) by developing efficient vaccines and drugs against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tb). The pressing need for innovative and swift anti-TB drug screening methods, due to the drawbacks of traditional approaches, is met by employing Structure-based virtual screening (SBVS) and machine learning (ML) in drug discovery.

Cadmium oxide nanoparticles (CdO-NPs) play an important role in health applications due to their antibacterial properties. However, ecotoxicological investigations of these NPs and their adverse effects on aquatic organisms are necessary to protect the environment. Zebrafish is widely used as a model organism to explore toxic effects at multiple levels of integration.

Ameloblastic carcinoma is a rare malignant odontogenic tumor that is further classified into being primary or secondary arising from a preexisting benign ameloblastoma. It affects the mandible in two thirds of the patients. There is no standard treatment protocol for this lesion but radicalsurgical excision with or without radiotherapy is reported in the majority of cases.

The research study describes the development of a hybrid nanocomposite called nitro-doped carbon nanodots/polyaniline/molecularly imprinted polymer (-CNDs/PAni/MIP). This composite is specifically engineered to function as a durable and flexible dual-response sensor to detect and analyze pharmaceutical organic contaminants (POCs). Powder X-Ray diffraction (PXRD), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were employed to perform an exhaustive structural and morphological analysis of -CNDs/PAni/MIP.
