Microneedles: A Potential Drug Delivery System for the Treatment of Cancer
Abstract: Hypodermic needles, topical lotions, and transdermal patches are the most common methods for transdermal drug administration. Most medicinal drugs have a limited effect due to the stratum corneum layer of the skin, which acts as a barrier for molecules, allowing only a few molecules to reach the site of action. Microneedles are a novel type of delivery method that helps to improve medication administration through this route while also solving …

Rumen Microbial Adaptation to Dietary Shifts: Mechanisms, Challenges, and Implications for Sustainable Ruminant Production
Abstract: Rumen microbiota play a central role in the digestion and fermentation of dietary components, directly influencing the health and productivity of ruminants. Dietary shifts, such as transitioning from forage-based diets to concentrate-rich diets or incorporating feed additives, induce significant changes in the composition, structure, and functional dynamics of the rumen microbial community. These adaptations, while essential for maintaining microbial homeostasis, can also lead to transient imbalances, including risks of acidosis, …
