Epigenetic Modifications in Health, Disease, and Precision Therapeutics (From Genome to Epigenome)
Abstract: Introduction: Epigenetic alterations play a crucial role in regulating gene expression in both normal physiological and disease states. These reversible modifications—such as DNA methylation, histone acetylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, and chromatin remodelling—are increasingly implicated in complex diseases including cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. Despite advances in standard therapeutic approaches, patient responses remain variable, largely due to genetic heterogeneity and epigenetic dysregulation. This highlights the need for incorporating epigenetic understanding into personalized medicine. …

Bioenhancer to Boost Herbal Drug Efficacy
Abstract: Bioenhancers are natural substances that significantly improve the absorption, bioavailability, and therapeutic efficacy of drugs when co-administered, without showing notable pharmacological activity of their own. In herbal medicine, the concept of bioenhancement has received growing attention as many phytoconstituents exhibit low oral bioavailability due to poor solubility, limited permeability, and extensive first-pass metabolism. The traditional Ayurvedic system first introduced this concept through the discovery of Piperine, the active alkaloid from …
