Application of Nanotechnology to Develop Carrageenan-based Films and Coatings as Carriers for Essential Oils
This study is designed based on a review of previous studies. Biopolymer coatings and films are suitable for food and non-food packaging due to their degradability, renewable and edible nature. Edible coatings and films are based on polysaccharides, proteins, and lipids. They confer some beneficial effects on foods, such as improvement of appearance and texture, reducing the amount of moisture loss and oxidation, prevention of the release of gases and control of microbial growth, delaying ripening and adverse changes in color and taste, improvement of nutritional value, and increasing the shelf life of the product. These i...

Nanotheranostics: A Cutting-Edge Technology for Cancer Management
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 4. doi: 10.2174/0113892010285567240222072959. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCancer is the second-leading cause of death in the 21st century, where early detection and appropriate therapeutic interventions are two components essential for effective cancer management. Despite the availability of several conventional diagnostics and therapeutic agents, cancer mortality rates are rising due to an increase in the frequency of recurrence and metastasis in cancer patients. Therefore, tremendous efforts have been expended to address this significant clinical issue and improve therapeutic efficacy. I...

Quassinoids from Eurycoma longifolia as Potential Dihydrofolate Reductase Inhibitors: A Computational Study
CONCLUSION: From the analysis, 6-dehydrolongilactone and eurycomalide B are among the twelve compounds that showed great potential as hit-to-lead compounds based on the docking score on DHFR, drug-likeness, and ADMET properties. These results suggest a great potential to pursue validation studies via in vitro and in vivo models.PMID:38425119 | DOI:10.2174/0113892010273336240221101506 (Source: Current Pharmaceutical Biotechnology)

Non-Receptor Type PTPases and their Role in Controlling Pathways Related to Diabetes and Liver Cancer Signalling
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2024 Feb 28. doi: 10.2174/0113892010288624240213072415. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe role of non-receptor type Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTPases) in controlling pathways related to diabetes and Hepatocellular Carcinoma (HCC) is significant. The insulin signal transduction pathway is regulated by the steady-state phosphorylation of tyrosyl residues of the insulin receptor and post-receptor substrates. PTPase has been shown to have a physiological role in the regulation of reversible tyrosine phosphorylation. There are several non-receptor type PTPases. PTPase containing the SH-2 domain (SHP-2...

In Rheumatoid Arthritis, A Review of ncRNAs Related to NF- κB Signaling Pathways
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2024 Feb 27. doi: 10.2174/0113892010262829240214061103. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease with no known cure that results in joint deformities and dysfunction, significantly impacting the quality of life of patients. The abnormal NF-ＫB signaling pathway in RA has emerged as a crucial research area for the development of RA therapies, with non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) serving as a potentially meaningful avenue to regulate it. Thus, understanding the role of ncRNAs in RA and the identification of new therapeutic targets have become pressing issues in the fie...

Recent Developments in Nanotechnology and Immunotherapy for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Pancreatic Cancer
Curr Pharm Biotechnol. 2024 Feb 23. doi: 10.2174/0113892010284407240212110745. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPancreatic cancer kills millions of people worldwide each year and is one of the most prevalent causes of mortality that requires prompt therapy. A large number of people who have pancreatic cancer are detected at an advanced stage, with incurable and drug-resistant tumors. Hence the overall survival rate of pancreatic cancer is less. The advance phase of this cancer is generated because of the expression of the cancer-causing gene, inactivation of the tumorsuppressing gene, and deregulation of molecules in differen...
