Biomimetic Ghost Nanomedicine-Based Optotheranostics for Cancer.

Theranostic medicine combines diagnostics and therapeutics, focusing on solid tumors at minimal doses. Optically activated photosensitizers are significant examples owing to their photophysical and chemical properties. Several optotheranostics have been tested that convert light to imaging signals, therapeutic radicals, and heat.

Meloxicam emulgel potently suppressed cartilage degradation in knee osteoarthritis: Optimization, formulation, industrial scalability and pharmacodynamic analysis.

Background And Objective: Meloxicam (MLX) is prescribed for the management of pain and inflammation allied with osteoarthritis (OA). However, MLX causes intestinal damage in long term administration. Hence, meloxicam loaded emulgel (MLX-emulgel) was optimized, formulated and examined under stringent parameters in monosodium-iodoacetate (MIA) induced knee OA in Wistar rats.
