Enhancing the Bioavailability of Polyphenols: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The polyphenolic compounds are abundantly found in different plant parts including fruits, leaves, stem and seeds, and are known for possessing a wide range of biological activities. These include antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, antidiabetic, cardioprotective, and neuroprotective effects. Their functional relation with their structure highlights the significant therapeutic potential. As a result, the polyphenols are being further being exploited for applications in functional foods, pharmaceuticals, and targeted drug delivery. Despite …

Revolutionizing the Delivery and Efficacy of Nutraceuticals
Abstract: The global nutraceutical market is on a remarkable growth trajectory, fueled by a growing public focus on preventive health and expected to surpass USD 900 billion by 2030. However, a major roadblock stands in the way of many promising bioactive compounds—like resveratrol, curcumin, and omega-3s—reaching their full potential: their poor absorption by our bodies. Issues like low solubility in water, instability in the gut, and rapid metabolism lead to notoriously …

Investigation of the Effects of Physicochemical Behaviour, Design, and Contaminants on Corrosion Mechanisms for Coatings
Abstract: Advanced coating systems have been developed to address the challenges of coating life and corrosion mechanisms in various industries. These coating systems are designed to provide enhanced protection, prolong the lifespan of coated surfaces, and reduce the effects of corrosion. A corrosion study with respect to contaminants (water soluble salts like sulphates, chlorides and nitrates etc.), design of the components (macro and micro defects developed due to improper design and …

The Impact of Nanotechnology in Transforming Neuro-oncology - A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: The treatment of central nervous system (CNS) tumours, including aggressive malignancies like glioblastoma, faces significant challenges. The blood–brain barrier (BBB) blocks nearly 98% of small-molecule drugs from achieving therapeutic levels in the brain, and the heterogeneity of these tumours frequently contributes to treatment resistance and poor outcomes. Traditional approaches, including chemotherapy and radiotherapy, are hindered by systemic toxicity and inadequate drug penetration. Nanotechnology provides a promising alternative, as nanoparticles (NPs) …

Biopolymer-Based Nanocomposites for Oral Drug Delivery
Abstract: Because they are biocompatible, biodegradable, and can hold a lot of different healing agents, biopolymer-based nanocomposites are looking like a good way to give drugs orally. These materials are made up of natural polymers mixed with nanoparticles. They have many benefits for drug delivery systems, such as making drugs more soluble, controlling when they are released, and making enclosed drugs more stable. Drug release rates may be altered by mixing …
