Article Synopsis
- - Antibiotic-resistant bacteria, particularly uropathogens like Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, are causing severe urinary tract infections (UTIs) that increase healthcare costs and pose serious health risks, including potential death.
- - While traditional antibiotics remain part of UTI treatment guidelines, their ineffectiveness and side effects have led to the exploration of novel drugs, including new combinations of antibiotics and emerging treatments like cranberry and probiotics.
- - Innovative strategies such as immuno-prophylactic vaccines and nanotechnology, including nanoparticles for drug delivery and development of nano antibiotics, are being researched, but more studies are needed to ensure their safety and efficacy.
Background: Neuropathy is among the most often reported consequences of diabetes and the biggest cause of morbidity and mortality in people suffering from this life-long disease. Although different therapeutic methods are available for diabetic neuropathy, it is still the leading cause of limb amputations, and it significantly decreases patients' quality of life.
Aim: This study investigates potential novel therapeutic options that could ameliorate symptoms of DN.
Cellular therapeutic potential of genetically engineered stem cells in cancer treatment.
Biotechnol Genet Eng Rev
December 2024
Traditional therapeutic approaches in the treatment of cancer have many side effects and are often ineffective and non-specific, leading to the development of therapy-resistant tumour cells. Recently, numerous discoveries about stem cells have given a new outlook on their application in oncology. Stem cells are unique because of their biological attributes, including self-renewal, differentiation in different types of specialized cells and synthesis of molecules that interplay with tumour niche.
