The Concept of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) in Unani Medicine and the Potential Role of Unani Pharmacology in Its Management
Abstract: Introduction: Guillain–Barré Syndrome (GBS) is an autoimmune neurological disorder characterized by progressive muscle weakness and paralysis due to immune-mediated damage to the peripheral nervous system. Conventional treatments focus on immunotherapy and supportive care, but alternative approaches, such as Unani Medicine offer promising holistic management strategies. Unani Medicine attributes GBS to humoral imbalance, particularly an excess of Balgham (Phlegm) affecting nerve function, leading to weakness and dysfunction. Objective: This study aims …

Biopolymer-Based 3D Composite Scaffolds for Bone Tissue Engineering: Photothermal-Responsive Systems with Controlled Pt (IV) Prodrug Release
Abstract: Biopolymer-based composite scaffolds have attracted significant attention as multifunctional platforms at the intersection of polymer science, regenerative medicine, and cancer nanotherapy. In this study, a dual-functional scaffold was developed for simultaneous osteosarcoma treatment and bone regeneration using poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA) reinforced with bioactive glass (BG) and integrated with a glutathione-responsive platinum (IV) prodrug system (PDA@Pt). To improve interfacial adhesion, photothermal conversion efficiency, and tumor-specific activation, the Pt (IV) prodrug …
