Gut Feelings: Unravelling the Secrets of the Microbial Universe Within
Abstract: The human digestive system hosts a varied and dynamic community of microorganisms, commonly known as the gut microbiota. This complex community, which includes various organisms such as bacteria, archaea, viruses, and fungi, is essential and important for numerous bodily functions such as metabolism, immune response, and cognitive development. The composition and vast diversity of the gut microbiome are shaped by diet, lifestyle, and genetic factors. Disruptions in this balance, known …

Tribological Assessment of Chemically Modified Jatropha Curcas Oil Developed by Addition of Graphite Nanoparticles for Biolubricant Applications
Abstract: As an alternative to petroleum-based lubricants, environmentally friendly bio-based lubricants are gaining popularity in the lubrication industry. A sustainable bio-based lubricant, Jatropha Curcas Oil (JCO) incorporates nanoparticles as additives. Nevertheless, this oil cannot be used directly as a biolubricant due to its low oxidative stability. By redesigning the oil's molecular structure through chemical modification, this restriction can be overcome. Epoxidation and oxirane ringopening were the two steps used in this …

RNA- Based Drug Delivery, Current Advances, Pharmaceutical Applications, and Future Perspectives
Abstract: RNA-based therapeutics have emerged as a transformative approach in modern medicine due to their ability to regulate gene expression with high specificity and precision. Advances in molecular biology, RNA chemistry, and nanotechnology have accelerated the development of diverse RNA modalities, including messenger RNA (mRNA), small interfering RNA (siRNA), microRNA (miRNA), antisense oligonucleotides (ASOs), and RNA aptamers. These therapeutics offer promising strategies for the treatment of cancer, genetic disorders, infectious diseases, …
