Impact of Shirodhara on biological markers of stress: A case study.

The unforgiving pace and complexity of modern life has greatly challenged our ability to live healthier and fully in the present moment. Industrialization, globalization, and competition in each sector lead to emotional stress and strain in life which is dangerous at the physical and mental levels. As per the classics of Ayurveda, chinta (stress) and atichintan (overthinking) are the causes of Rasavaha srotodushti which lead to many diseases.

Prakriti Analysis of COVID 19 Patients: An Observational Study.

Rationale & Objective: The concept of Prakriti is unique to Ayurveda, which is used for deciding the preventive and curative strategy to be adopted in the treatment of patients. It is the total of anatomical, physiological, and psychological domains of an individual. The diseases often manifest by susceptibility that depends upon Prakriti of individuals.

Pulmonary targeting microparticulate camptothecin delivery system: anticancer evaluation in a rat orthotopic lung cancer model.

Large (>6 microm) rigid microparticles (MPs) become passively entrapped within the lungs after intravenous (i.v.) injection making them an attractive and highly efficient alternative to inhalation for pulmonary delivery.

Ligand-bound quantum dot probes for studying the molecular scale dynamics of receptor endocytic trafficking in live cells.

Endocytic receptor trafficking is a complex, dynamic process underlying fundamental cell function. An integrated understanding of endocytosis at the level of single or small numbers of ligand bound-receptor complexes inside live cells is currently hampered by technical limitations. Here, we develop and test ligand nerve growth factor-bound quantum dot (NGF-QD) bioconjugates for imaging discrete receptor endocytic events inside live NGF-responsive PC12 cells.
