Alopecia, a common dermatological condition, poses significant psychological and social challenges. Despite the availability of various treatments, their efficacy is often limited by poor bioavailability and delivery challenges. Nanostructured lipid carriers have emerged as promising advanced drug delivery systems for alopecia treatment due to their ability to encapsulate both hydrophilic and lipophilic compounds, enhancing their stability, solubility, and controlled release.

Background: Haemorrhage remains the leading cause of preventable mortality following trauma, often aggravated by the acidosis, hypothermia and coagulopathy-the lethal triad of trauma. However, the impact of trauma-induced hypocalcemia on the haemorrhage remains unclear. It is intuitive to consider perturbations of ionised calcium early during trauma resuscitation in acutely injured patients given its pathophysiological significance for an improved outcome.

Combinatorial effects of small molecules provide newer avenues to improve protein stability. The combined effect of two different classes of ILs on the stability and fibrillation propensity of lysozyme (Lyz) was investigated. Imidazolium-ILs (an aromatic moiety) with varying alkyl chains, methyl (MIC), butyl (BMIC) and hexyl (HMIC), and pyrrolidinium-IL (alicyclic moiety) with butyl substitution (BPyroBr) were chosen.

Article Synopsis
  • Soil contamination by trace metals is a major global problem, leading to research on plant species that can hyperaccumulate these metals to improve soil health.
  • This study focused on the effects of soil origin, plant population, and microbial communities on the ability of four populations of the hyperaccumulator plant A. halleri to extract cadmium (Cd) and zinc (Zn) from soil.
  • Results showed that while plant population's effect on microbial communities was limited, both non-metallicolous and metallicolous populations thrived in contaminated soils, with the non-metallicolous population outperforming others in Zn accumulation, highlighting a significant interaction between soil properties and plant capabilities.
