The utilization of quercetin nanoparticles as a novel therapeutic strategy has garnered significant attention in recent years. These nanoparticles offer a unique approach to enhancing delivery and effectiveness while overcoming the drawbacks of quercetin. By exploiting the advantages of nanotechnology, such as increased stability and improved bioavailability, quercetin nanoparticles hold significant potential for developing innovative treatments across various medical fields. Quercetin nanoparticles have emerged as an indispensable component in numerous pharmaceutical and medicinal formulations. They are recognized for their anticancer, antitumor, anti-inflammatory, and antidiabetic properties, making them valuable in addressing allergic reactions, metabolic disorders, inflammatory disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and arthritis. From a pharmacological perspective, quercetin nanoparticles have demonstrated beneficial effects against Alzheimer's disease, primarily through their inhibitory impact on acetylcholinesterase. Furthermore, these nanoparticles have been scientifically documented to possess antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, hepatoprotective, and cytotoxic activities. This comprehensive review aims to explore the pharmacokinetics and biological activities associated with quercetin nanoparticles. It also highlights their potential as therapeutic agents in treating a wide range of diseases, including Alzheimer's disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.

Flap techniques are indispensable in modern surgery because of their role in repairing tissue defects and restoring function. Ischemia-reperfusion and oxidative stress-induced injuries are the main causes of flap failure. Oxidative stress exacerbates cell damage through the accumulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), thereby affecting flap function and survival.

Food packaging industries are growing to meet consumer demand and prevent pollution by adopting significant biopolymer advancements. Therefore, this study aimed to develop functionally active chitosan (CS)/polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based biopolymer films and evaluate the effect of Justicia Adhatoda extract (JAE), pure quercetin (Q), and CS-capped quercetin nanoparticles ((Q) NPs) on sustainable bread packaging. CS was successfully loaded onto (Q) by the one-pot method, which was confirmed by light absorption spectroscopy (UV), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and X-ray diffraction (XRD).

Existing treatments for androgenetic alopecia (AGA) are unsatisfactory, owing to the two major reasons: (1) Oxidative stress and vascularization deficiency in the perifollicular environment provoke the premature senescence of hair follicles, limiting transformation from the telogen to the anagen phase; (2) The amount of drug delivered to the perifollicular region located in the deep dermis is very limited for passive drug delivery systems. Herein, we developed a gas-propelledmicroneedle patch integrated with ferrum-chelated puerarin/quercetin nanoparticles (PQFN) to increase drug accumulation in hair follicles and reshape the perifollicular environment for improved hair-regenerating effects. PQFN can rejuvenate testosterone (Tes)-induced senescence of dermal papilla cells by scavenging ROS, restoring mitochondrial function, regulating signaling pathways related to hair regeneration, and upregulating hair growth-promoting genes.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is a major global health challenge, largely due to its complex pathology and the limited effectiveness of existing treatments. Quercetin, a bioactive compound belonging to the flavonoid class, its promising antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective effects in addressing AD. However, its therapeutic potential is hindered by challenges such as low bioavailability, instability, and restricted permeability across the blood-brain barrier (BBB).
