AS1411 aptamer/RGD dual functionalized theranostic chitosan-PLGA nanoparticles for brain cancer treatment and imaging.

Conventional chemotherapy and poor targeted delivery in brain cancer resulting to poor treatment and develop resistance to anticancer drugs. Meanwhile, it is quite challenging to diagnose/detection of brain tumor at early stage of cancer which resulting in severity of the disease. Despite extensive research, effective treatment with real-time imaging still remains completely unavailable, yet.

Technical Considerations, Applications, and Benefits of Organogels in Topical Drug Delivery Systems.

Organogels represent semi-solid systems where an organic liquid phase is entrapped within a three-dimensional network formed by self-assembled, crosslinked, or entangled gelator fibers. These versatile materials find applications in a wide range of fields, including chemistry, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, biotechnology, and food technology. Notably, in pharmacology, they serve as valuable platforms for drug and vaccine delivery, facilitating the transport of active ingredients through various routes such as transdermal, oral, and parenteral.

Exploring the Therapeutic Potential of Phytoconstituents for Addressing Neurodegenerative Disorders.

Neurodegenerative disorder is a serious condition that is caused by abnormal or no neurological function. Neurodegenerative disease is a major growing cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide, especially in the elderly. After World War Ⅱ, eugenics term was exterminated from medicines.

Nano Architect-Based Targeted Delivery Systems for Diabetic Nephropathy: A Review.

Diabetes mellitus is a long-lasting disease that is very common in the age group above 20 years and is characterized by hyperglycemia with other complications like Diabetic Nephropathy (DN). The management of DN focuses on mainly four regions: reduction of cardiovascular risks, control of blood glycemic levels, control of the blood pressure (BP) profile, and the use of therenin-angiotensin system (RAS). Although BP management and RAS-acting agents can postpone the onset of DN, they cannot prevent it.
