A Promising Approach Towards Arthritis: Bacopa Monnieri
Abstract: Joint inflammation, pain, and a progressive loss of function are the hallmarks of arthritis, a chronic and crippling condition that frequently results in disability and a lower quality of life. The need for safer options is highlighted by the fact that while current therapy approaches, such as NSAIDs, corticosteroids, and disease-modifying antirheumatic medications, give symptomatic relief, they are usually linked to serious adverse effects. In this regard, the wellknown Ayurvedic …

The Principles and Applications of Structural Symmetry in Natural and Engineered Systems: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Structural symmetry is a fundamental constraint across scientific domains, dictating the stability, functionality, and efficiency of systems from the subatomic to the macroscopic. In physics and chemistry, symmetry is mathematically defined through Group Theory, specifically point groups (e.g., Cnv, Oh). These groups govern molecular orbital interactions; high-symmetry configurations, such as the icosahedral C60 fullerene, achieve optimal energy distribution and structural resilience. In Structural Biology, symmetry is an evolutionary strategy for …
