Neuroinflammation plays a pivotal role in the development and progression of neurodegenerative diseases, with a complex interplay between immune responses and brain activity. Understanding this interaction is crucial for identifying therapeutic targets and developing effective treatments. This study aimed to explore the neuroprotective properties of flavonoid compounds from via the modulation of neuroinflammatory pathway using a comprehensive in-silico approach, including network pharmacology, molecular docking, and dynamic simulations.

Anatomical models have key applications in radiotherapy, notably to help understand the relationship between radiation dose and risk of developing side effects. This review analyses whether age-specific computational phantoms, developed from healthy subjects and paediatric cancer patient data, are adequate to model a paediatric population. The phantoms used in the study were International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP), 4D extended cardiac torso (XCAT) and Radiotherapy Paediatric Atlas (RT-PAL), which were also compared to literature data.
