Polyphenols are a class of secondary metabolic products found in plants that have been extensively studied for how well they regulate biological processes, such as the proliferation of cells, autophagy, and apoptosis. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK)-mediated signaling cascade is currently identified as a crucial pro-inflammatory pathway that plays a significant role in the development of neuroinflammation. This process has been shown to contribute to the pathogenesis of several neurological conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), CNS damage, and cerebral ischemia.

Purpose Of Review: Neuropathic pain (NP) has been ubiquitously characterized by lesion and its linked somatosensory system either the central nervous system (CNS) or peripheral nervous system (PNS) This PNS episode is the most prevalent site of NP origin and is found to be associated with afferent nerve fibers carrying pain signals from injured/trauma site to the CNS including the brain. Several kinds of pharmacotherapeutic drugs shuch as analgesics, anti-convulsants, and anti-depressants are being employed for the its possible interventions. The NP has been a great interest to follow different pathophysiological mechanisms which are often considered to correlate with the metabolic pathways and its mediated disease.

Article Synopsis
  • SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19, is primarily known for causing severe respiratory issues but has also been linked to serious neurological complications affecting the brain and nervous system.
  • These complications include conditions like stroke, seizures, loss of smell, and Guillain-Barre Syndrome, demonstrating the virus's extensive impact beyond just respiratory health.
  • The review explores the mechanisms behind COVID-19 related neurodegeneration and discusses potential therapeutic options currently under investigation to address these neurological impairments.

A facile synthesis of CuBiO hierarchical dumbbell-shaped nanorod cluster: a promising photocatalyst for the degradation of caffeic acid.

Environ Sci Pollut Res Int

July 2022

Advanced Ceramics and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Department of Materials Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Concepción, 4070409, Concepción, Chile.

The present study reports on the synthesis of Cu-bismuth oxide (CuBiO)-based nanorods by using a simple co-precipitation method for the photocatalytic degradation of caffeic acid (CA). The incorporation of Cu metal ions during the synthesis of CuBiO nanorods might be advantageous to avoid the aggregation and control the leach out of metal ions. The calculated bandgap values of ~ 1.

In recent years, inflammatory mediators have been considered a possible key for nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's). NSAID's have been known as most promising medication against inflammation and its mediated pain. Inflammation could be recognize as a systemic adaptive stimulation triggered by detrimental stimuli as pathogenic attack and endogenous signals mediated injury inside the cells.

Tetracycline (TC) is one of the most commonly used broad-spectrum antibiotics to treat the bacterial infection. TC antibiotics enter into the environment because of partial metabolism in the humans and animals, thereby increasing the environmental toxicity. Therefore, it is highly needed to treat TC antibiotics from the water system.

June 2021

Advanced Ceramics and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Department of Materials Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, University of Concepción, Concepción 4070409, Chile.

The present work describes the synthesis of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) assisted Fe-BiOI based Fe/Bi-povidone‑iodine (Fe/Bi-P-I) micro-flowers based composite and its photocatalytic and antibacterial applications. The Fe/Bi-P-I micro-flowers-based composite material was synthesized using a simple co-precipitation method. The prepared Fe/Bi-P-I micro-flowers-based composite materials were characterized using various characterization techniques and tested against photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB) dye and antibacterial analysis.

The continuously increased existence of contaminants such as chemical and biological mainly dye, bacteria, and heavy metals ions (HMI) in water bodies has increased environmental concern due to their hostile effects on living things. Therefore, there is necessity to be developed newer materials that skirmishes such environmental menace. The present works focus on the synthesis of a novel three-dimensional (3D) polymer-metal-carbon (3D-PMC) framework for the exclusion of contaminants (chemical and biological) from water bodies.

In recent years, neurodegeneration has been recognized as a clinical condition that is characterized by neuronal death, dementia, and gradual diminish of cognitive function, poor body coordination and motor disorders. Several studies deciphering cellular and molecular mechanisms show a promising insight for several kinds of damages including neurodegeneration in central nervous system. In addition, there has been an inflammatory key mechanism involved in neurodegenerative disorders.

Regarding the increasing prevalence of cancer throughout the globe, the development of novel alternatives for conventional therapies is inevitable to circumvent limitations such as low efficacy, complications, and high cost. Recently, microneedle arrays (MNs) have been introduced as a novel, minimally invasive, and low-cost approach. MNs can delivery both small molecule and macromolecular drugs or even nanoparticles (NPs) to the tumor tissue in a safe and controlled manner.
