- The research aims to create a more soluble and stable aqueous form of Cisplatin, an important anticancer drug, through a customized RESS process, resulting in a product called "liquid" cisplatin.
- This "liquid" cisplatin has a unique structure that allows for 27 times greater water solubility than standard cisplatin and maintains stability for over two years.
- Testing on human lung cancer cells shows that "liquid" cisplatin is more effective at inducing anti-cancer effects than regular cisplatin, hinting at potential for innovative drug-delivery methods.
Peptides possess a number of pharmacologically desirable properties, including greater chemical diversity than other biomolecule classes and the ability to selectively bind to specific targets with high potency, as well as biocompatibility, biodegradability, and ease and low cost of production. Consequently, there has been considerable interest in developing peptide-based therapeutics, including amyloid inhibitors. However, a major hindrance to the successful therapeutic application of peptides is their poor delivery to target tissues, cells or subcellular organelles.

In this position paper it is suggested that subsequent innovations in medical education each had their specific strengths and shortcomings. What they have, however, in common is that they place the medical student and their competencies at their center.

This study investigated the inter-rater reliability of the tutor assessment in assessing medical students' performance in their PBL tutorial sessions.
Materials And Methods: This study was conducted in the College of Medicine (COM), in the academic year 2021-2022.
