Novel biomedical applications of various nanomaterials are being extensively researched as drug delivery systems. These nanomaterials deliver various anticancer treatments into the specific tumor cell sites, which reduces their terrible side effects. In this study, we have used DFT/B3LYP/6-311++G(d,p) level of theory to examine the efficacy of the pristine B fullerene (Boron) as a drug delivery vehicle for gemcitabine an anti-lung cancer medication at various position.

Article Synopsis
  • Alzheimer's disease (AD) is linked to the buildup of harmful lipid molecules like 7-ketocholesterol (7KCh), which contribute to cell damage and amyloid-beta aggregation.
  • A study tested two natural compounds, bornyl acetate (BA) and menthol (ME), for their neuroprotective effects against 7KCh-induced damage in nerve cells, comparing their results to the drug galantamine (GA).
  • Findings revealed that BA and ME significantly reduced harmful effects like lipid accumulation and amyloid generation, improved cell survival, and regulated various biological pathways involved in inflammation and cell stress, showing promise as preventive treatments for AD.

Phagocytosis by macrophages dates back to a long history in science, this present study deals with new approaches that have been analyzed and standardized towards the interesting aspects of primary and secondary macrophages. The distinct morphological differences in primary and secondary phagocytic cells were observed and the phagocytic response of secondary macrophages under the influence of 7-ketocholesterol and lipopolysaccharide was analyzed. The primary peritoneal and secondary IC-21 cells unveiled explicit differences in nuclear numbers shapes and sizes of the granules present within the cytoplasmic region.

Unlabelled: Macrophages are primary immune cells that mediate a wide range of inflammatory diseases through their polarization potential. In this study, phytol isolated from has been explored against 7-ketocholesterol and bacterial lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage polarization in IC-21 cells. Isolated phytol has been characterized using GC-MS, TLC, HPTLC, FTIR, H-NMR, and HPLC analyses.
