SARS-CoV-2, also called coronavirus causes SARS-CoV-2 or severe acute respir-atory syndrome, a highly transmissible disease that has rapidly spread worldwide, straining healthcare systems and leading to a substantial number of fatalities. Interestingly, SARS-CoV-2 has revealed a gender difference, with males dying at a greater rate and with more severe cases than women. It's worth noting that the male reproductive system might be par-ticularly susceptible to damage during periods of moderate to severe sickness, which has been linked to cases of orchitis and erectile dysfunction.

Hypertension poses a significant risk to cognition-related disorders like dementia. As the global population ages, age-related neurological illnesses such as Alzheimer's disease are becoming increasingly prevalent. The primary hypertension treatments, angiotensin receptor blockers, and angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors, exhibit neuroprotective properties.

Article Synopsis
  • Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is a prevalent and aggressive form of head and neck cancer, with increasing emphasis on the role of host microbiota in its development.
  • Recent research indicates that both local nasopharyngeal and remote oral microbiota can influence NPC’s progression, with specific bacterial strains linked to its onset.
  • Mechanisms such as inflammation, Epstein-Barr virus reactivation, oxidative stress, immune system suppression, and tumor hypoxia explain how microbiota imbalance can worsen NPC, affecting patient prognosis and treatment response.

Drug delivery through the blood-brain barrier (BBB) is one of the key challenges in the modern era of medicine due to the highly semipermeable characteristics of BBB that restrict the entry of various drugs into the central nervous system (CNS) for the management of brain disorders. Drugs can be easily incorporated into carbon nanocarriers that can cross the bloodbrain barrier. Numerous nanocarriers have been developed, including polymeric nanoparticles, carbon nanoparticles, lipid-based nanoparticles, etc.

Article Synopsis
  • MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs that help regulate gene expression after transcription, playing crucial roles in brain growth and neural activity.
  • Research shows that miRNAs significantly influence the central nervous system's development by affecting key cellular processes like differentiation and proliferation, especially through pathways involving Dicer and DGCR8.
  • The text emphasizes the importance of miRNAs in brain development and disease, suggesting that understanding their regulation could lead to new therapeutic approaches for treating various neurological disorders.

Extracellular vesicles or exosomes, often known as EVs, have acquired significant attention in the investigations of traumatic brain injury (TBI) and have a distinct advantage in actively researching the fundamental mechanisms underlying various clinical symptoms and diagnosing the wide range of traumatic brain injury cases. The mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) can produce and release exosomes, which offer therapeutic benefits. Exosomes are tiny membranous vesicles produced by various cellular entities originating from endosomes.

Emulgel is considered an advanced leading form of topical drug delivery system. It possesses the quality of a dual control drug mechanism for drug release as it holds the properties of both gel as well as emulsion. Emulgel is capable of overcoming the problems of the conventional route of topical drug delivery, like low spreadability and stickiness with the delivery of hydrophobic drugs, enhanced bioavailability at the local site of action, no greasy texture, and ensuring patient compliance.
