Development of Polymersomes as Macromolecular Platforms for Nanomedicine
Abstract: The conventional method of drug delivery is plagued with instability, low targeting and low bioavailability. A solution to these shortcomings is the use of polymersomes, artificial vesicles that are produced through self-assembly of amphiphilic block copolymer, and they are suggested as universal nanoscale carriers. They have stiff, tunable membranes (thickness = 2–50 nm) due to accurate control of polymer chemistry, chain length, and hydrophilic mass fraction (f), which allows predictability …

Semiconductor Devices for Assessing Freshness of Food Products
Abstract: Freshness of food is one of the major deterministic factors that govern human health and wellbeing. Consumption of stale food can have minor to serious health implications. In general assessment of the quality of food relies upon human sensory evaluations. However, the perceived intensity of sensory attributes can vary significantly. To replace this confusion, scientists develop portable and inexpensive sensors with notable accuracy. In particular, dairy products, seafood and meat …

ADVANCEMENTS AND CHALLENGES OF MODERN BREEDING OVER CONVENTIONAL BREEDING
Abstract: Plant breeding dates back thousands of years, when people first deliberately bred plants based on visually pleasing characteristics. The domestication of wild plants aided this process, resulting in the evolution of numerous breeding strategies over time. Conventional breeding, which is distinguished by selective breeding based on superior performance, used procedures such as pure-line selections, mass selection, backcross breeding, recurrent selection, and hybridization. While effective, classical breeding procedures were time-consuming and …

Gold Nanoparticle Size, Biodistribution, and Toxicity: Insights from DualEnergy CT
Abstract: Dual-energy and spectral computed tomography (CT) have emerged as powerful platforms for noninvasive, quantitative mapping of nanoparticle biodistribution in vivo. By exploiting the energy-dependent attenuation profiles of high-atomic-number (high-Z) materials, these systems enable material decomposition and element-specific imaging, thereby distinguishing nanoparticle signals from those of soft tissues and conventional iodinated contrast agents. Photon-counting spectral CT further enhances this capability by binning individual photons into multiple energy channels, improving spatial resolution, …

Network Pharmacology and Molecular Docking Approach to Reveal the Underlying Mechanisms of Isorhamnetin in the Treatment of Lymphangitis Carcinomatosis
Abstract: Objective: Lymphangitic carcinomatosis (LC) is a tumor that spreads through lung lymphatics and is most commonly seen secondary to adenocarcinoma. In the majority of cases, LC is a result of tumor cells spreading through the lymphatic system. However, approximately 20% of LC cases can be attributed to lymphangitis caused by tumors obstructing lymphatic drainage. This blockage commonly occurs near the lung hilum, where a centrally located mass can cause inflammation …
