Background: Resveratrol (RSV) is a natural polyphenol that offers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and chemopreventive benefits. This project determined the ability of RSV-loaded nanoparticles (NP) to inhibit the growth of lung tumor spheroids in vitro.
Methods: RSV was encapsulated in NP comprised of the biodegradable polymer, acetalated dextran. A549 lung cancer cells in two-dimensional and three-dimensional cell culture models were exposed to free RSV and RSV NP to evaluate their effect on cell proliferation and spheroid formation and growth. For prevention studies, spheroids were exposed to free RSV and RSV NP on day 0, and for treatment studies, spheroids were dosed with the same formulations on day 5 after the spheroids had fully formed.
Results: The resulting RSV NP were 200 nm in diameter with neutral surface charge and exhibited the ability to control the release of RSV in vitro based on environmental pH. In comparison to free RSV, the RSV NP exerted a greater inhibitory effect on the proliferation and growth of cancer cells and spheroids.
Conclusions: RSV NP have the potential to be used as a chemopreventive agent for lung cancer.

Due to the high mortality rate of ovarian cancer, there is a need to find novel strategies to improve current treatment modalities. Natural compounds offer great potential in this field but also require the careful design of systems for their delivery to cancer cells. Our study explored the anticancer effects of novel resveratrol (RSV)- and curcumin (CUR)-loaded core-shell nanoparticles in human ovarian cancer cells.

The phytochemical fingerprinting that add to the nutritional and nutraceutical value of the fruits during the ripening stages is beneficial for human consumption. Therefore, ripening-dependent changes in phytochemical content and antioxidant activities of mango (Mangifera indica L.) cultivar Dusehri at various ripening stages were evaluated.

We report the first multicenter, prospective, randomized noninferiority controlled trial of steerable ureteroscopic renal evacuation (SURE) for nephrolithiasis treatment. Candidates for laser lithotripsy ≥18 years with ≥1 renal stone ≥7 mm and 7-20 mm stone burden were randomized 1:1 SURE ureteroscopy (URS). SURE was performed using the CVAC Aspiration System, a novel steerable irrigation-aspiration catheter.
