Molecular Mechanism of Fluoride Induced Oxidative Stress and Its Possible Reversal by Chelation Therapy
Abstract: Fluorine (Fl) a member of the halogen family is the most electronegative and reactive of all the elements of the Periodic table. Chronic and acute exposures of fluoride leads to cardiovascular disease (hypertension and atherosclerosis), neurological disorders, gastrointestinal disturbances, liver disease, renal disease, reproductive effects, other health disorders and also affects the antioxidant system in the body. Furthermore, reactive oxygen species (ROS)-mediated oxidative damage is a common malady in fluoride …

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) …

A Futuristics Pyrolysis Technique: Conversion of Waste Plastic Polybags Into Fuel
Abstract: Plastics are high molecular weight materials composed of repeating polymer units and can be classified based on factors like chemical composition, structure, stiffness, application types, and processing methods. A key environmental issue with plastics is their non-biodegradability, causing them to persist in the environment. Pre-consumer plastic waste includes manufacturing defects, rejected items, and excess materials produced during virgin plastic manufacturing. In India, around 15,342 tons of plastic waste are collected …

Molecular Docking Studies for the Identification of Mycobacterial Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) Synthase Inhibitors Using Active Phytocompounds from Plants Curcuma longa, Curcuma zedoaria and Galipea officinalis
Abstract: Objective: Tuberculosis (TB), known in human history for several decades, remains the second leading infectious disease after COVID-19. Still, the occurrence of TB increases due to the bacterium’s greater survival nature. They can survive in extreme conditions by being in long latency and adapting to the host. This study seeks to identify potential inhibitors from Curcuma longa, Curcuma zeodaria, and Galipea officinalis based on ancient folklore and compare them against …

Recent Advancements in Nanobiocomposite-Based Wound Healing and Tissue Regeneration
Abstract: Haemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, remodeling, and other highly coordinated cellular and molecular activities are all part of the complex biological processes of wound healing and tissue regeneration. Following an injury, these stages cooperate to restore tissue integrity and function. However, this normal process is disturbed in many clinical circumstances, especially chronic wounds such diabetic ulcers, burns, and pressure sores. Prolonged inflammation, chronic microbial infection, diminished angiogenesis, and impaired extracellular matrix production …
