Carbon dot-based fluorescent sensors for pharmaceutical detection: Current innovations, challenges, and future prospects.

Environmental contamination by pharmaceuticals has become a matter of concern as they are released in sewage systems at trace levels, thus impacting biological systems. Increasing concerns about the low-level occurrence of pharmaceuticals in the environment demands sensitive and selective monitoring. Owing to their high sensitivity and specificity carbon dots (CDs) have emerged as suitable fluorescent sensors.

Hydrogen Peroxide Quantification Using Zero Dimensional Carbon Nanostructured Materials: A Review.

Hydrogen peroxide (HO) is suspected to promote cancer. Higher concentrations of HO have always harmed mammalian cells, other living things, as well as the environment. As well, elevated concentrations of HO might cause major health problems such as cancer, cardiovascular disease, asthma, Alzheimer's disease, etc.

Development of mesalamine loaded-fenugreek gum decorated pectin microspheres for colonic drug delivery: Ex-vivo and in-vitro characterizations.

Mesalamine (MES) is a preferred therapeutic agent for managing various colon disorders, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). However, conventional oral dosage forms of MES face significant limitations, which reduce their effectiveness in managing these conditions. To overcome these challenges, advanced dosage forms of MES are essential.

Revolutionizing Eye Care: Exploring the Potential of Microneedle Drug Delivery.

Microneedle technology revolutionizes ocular drug delivery by addressing challenges in treating ocular diseases. This review explores its potential impact, recent advancements, and clinical uses. This minimally invasive technique offers precise control of drug delivery to the eye, with various microneedle types showing the potential to penetrate barriers in the cornea and sclera, ensuring effective drug delivery.

Neurodegenerative disorders: Mechanisms of degeneration and therapeutic approaches with their clinical relevance.

Neurodegenerative disorders (NDs) are expected to pose a significant challenge for both medicine and public health in the upcoming years due to global demographic changes. NDs are mainly represented by degeneration/loss of neurons, which is primarily accountable for severe mental illness. This neuronal degeneration leads to many neuropsychiatric problems and permanent disability in an individual.
