In this manuscript, a heterostructure-based topological nanophotonic structure is proposed for improved sensing performance. The topological effect is realized by connecting two dissimilar one-dimensional photonic crystal structures having overlapped photonic bandgaps. The structural parameters are optimized to regulate and alter the dispersion characteristics, which results in the opposite Zak phases.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common type of neurodegenerative dementia affecting people in their later years of life. The AD prevalence rate has significantly increased due to a lack of early detection technology and low therapeutic efficacy. Despite recent scientific advances, some aspects of AD pathological targets still require special attention.

Article Synopsis
  • The widespread use of corticosteroids (CCSs) has resulted in a significant rise in neuropsychiatric disorders (NPDs) like depression, insomnia, and psychosis among patients.
  • Despite their therapeutic benefits, the increasing cases of CCS-induced NPDs present a serious public health challenge that cannot be overlooked.
  • The study highlights the role of genomic and epigenetic factors in NPDs and discusses molecular biology approaches, including gene-editing strategies, for future prevention and treatment of these disorders.

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) is known as the most aggressive and prevalent brain tumor with a high mortality rate. It is reported in people who are as young as 10 years old to as old as over 70 years old, exhibiting inter and intra tumor heterogeneity. There are several genomic and proteomic investigations that have been performed to find the unexplored potential targets of the drug against GBM.

The outlook of the World toward health infrastructure has drastically changed due to COVID-19 which created the need for the development of emerging technologies where interactions between the patients and the health workers can be minimized. Consequently, a secure and energy-efficient internet of medical things (IoMT) enabled wireless sensor network (WSN) is proposed for communicable infectious diseases that utilizes genetic algorithm. The proposed system makes use of movable sinks in IoT-enabled WSNs for healthcare called OptiGeA.

Tumour cells exhibit numerous defence mechanisms against various therapeutic strategies and help in developing drug resistance. These defence strategies help cancer cells prevent their elimination from an organism and prosper at a specific location. In recent times it's been observed that there is a significant contribution of secreted extracellular vesicles (EVs) from such tumorigenic sites in the development and prognosis of cancer.

The traditional machine learning-based emotion recognition models have shown effective performance for classifying Electroencephalography (EEG) based emotions. The different machine learning algorithms outperform the various EEG based emotion models for valence and arousal. But the downside is to devote numerous efforts to designing features from the given noisy signals which are also a very time-consuming process.

Background: Gabapentin (GBP) is an FDA-approved drug for the treatment of partial and secondary generalized seizures, apart from being used for diabetic neuropathic pain. GBP displays a highly intricate mechanism of action and its inhibitory response in elevated antagonism of NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor) receptor and thus, can be repurposed for controlling neuropathic pain.

Objective: Therefore, in the present study, we have selected hBCATc (humanPyridoxal 5'-phosphate- dependent branched-chain aminotransferase cytosolic) gene that is highly expressed in silico validation through neuropathic stressed conditions.

In recent times, several approaches for targeted gene therapy (GT) had been studied. However, the emergence of extracellular vesicles (EVs) as a shuttle carrying genetic information between cells has gained a lot of interest in scientific communities. Owing to their higher capabilities in dealing with short sequences of nucleic acid (mRNA, miRNA), proteins, recombinant proteins, exosomes, the most popular form of EVs are viewed as reliable biological therapeutic conveyers.

Locating remedies for Alzheimer's disease (AD) has been majorly restricted by the inefficiency to establish a definitive detection model for early-stage diagnosis of pathological events. This current lapse in AD diagnosis also limits the therapeutic efficiency of the drugs, which might have been effective if given at the earlier stages of the disease. The indicated situation directs towards the burgeoned need for an effective biomarker technique that will help in early detection of AD and would be imminently useful to facilitate improved diagnosis and stimulate therapeutic trials.
