Evaluation of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)-Based Polymers for Improving Solubility and Bioavailability of Poorly Soluble Drugs
Abstract: A significant barrier to optimizing oral bioavailability is the inadequate water solubility of numerous pharmaceutical compounds. This study examined whether polymer systems utilizing polyethylene glycol (PEG) may enhance the solubility and bioavailability of a poorly soluble model drug. Multiple PEG polymers with molecular weights between 2,000 and 10,000 Da were utilized to produce PEGylated preparations. The formulations were subsequently evaluated for dissolution efficacy, medication loading capacity, particle size, and solubility …

Thermodynamic Irreversibility in Semen Transport
Abstract: Sperm ejaculation is a vital reproductive process that involves both complex biological functions and energetic mechanisms. Beyond the physiological aspects, thermodynamics offers a framework to analyze energy conversion, exergy use, and irreversibility during sperm activity. ATP provides the main source of exergy for motility, but part of this energy is inevitably lost as heat and entropy generation, reflecting inefficiencies in the process. Because heat regulation directly affects metabolic rates, motility …

Expression Profiling of Immunomodulatory Genes in Canine Adipose Tissue–Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells
Abstract: Adipose tissue–derived mesenchymal stem cells (AT-MSC) represent a heterogeneous population of self-renewing, multipotent progenitor cells residing in the stromal compartment of adipose tissue. Canine adipose tissue-derived mesenchymal stem cells have attracted significant interest in regenerative medicine due to their therapeutic potential in naturally occurring canine diseases and their translational relevance to human medicine. In the present study, canine adipose tissue–derived MSCs (cAT-MSCs) were isolated and differentiated into osteogenic, chondrogenic and …

Nature’s Pharmacy: Plant-Based Antifungal Agents and Their Therapeutic Potential
Abstract: Antifungal resistance has increased dramatically over the last 10 years, causing serious problems for healthcare because of higher morbidity and death. The urgent need for new treatments is highlighted by the scarcity of effective antifungal medications, their toxicity, and the rise of resistant strains. Since many plants have bioactive secondary metabolites with strong antifungal qualities, including alkaloids, flavonoids, terpenoids, phenolics, and saponins, ethnobotanical sources offer a viable path. Plants with …

Toxicological Profiling and Safety Assessment of NASAT 2.0: A Conceptual Framework for Adaptive Nanoparticle Therapy in Rabies
Abstract: Rabies, caused by the highly neurotropic Rabies lyssavirus, remains one of the most enigmatic and universally lethal infectious diseases known to modern medicine. Once clinical symptoms manifest following successful neuroinvasion, the fatality rate approaches absolute certainty (approximately 99.9%), a staggering statistic that has remained largely unchallenged despite massive, concurrent advances in modern virology, critical care medicine, and cellular immunology. Current late-stage therapeutic protocols, most notably the widely debated Milwaukee Protocol, …
