Applications of nanotechnology in drug delivery systems for the treatment of cancer and diabetes
This paper discusses potential applications of nanotechnology in drug delivery systems and pharmacotherapeutics. There are a few limitations in the use of conventionally available drug delivery systems as pharmacological agents in disease treatment. Lack of target specificity, altered effects and diminished potency due to drug metabolism in the body, cytotoxicity of certain anti-carcinogenic ...

Better health for all
Ensuring basic health care for people in low-income countries is critical to the Plan B goal of eradicating poverty and stabilizing population. While heart disease and cancer (largely the diseases of aging), obesity, and smoking dominate health concerns in industrial countries, in developing countries infectious diseases are the overriding health concern. Besides AIDS, the principal diseases of ...

The novel suspension quail cell line CCX.E10 is an ideal cell substrate for NDV virus and vector production
Newcastle disease is a highly infectious viral disease of the avian species. The causative agent is Newcastle disease virus (NDV), which belongs to the family of Paramyxoviridae. Many commercial vaccines, both live and inactivated, are available on the market and protect from NDV infection and disease. In addition, viral vectors based on Newcastle disease virus have been previously ...

Shining a Light on Drug Delivery: The Rise of Fluorescent Liposomes
Imagine tiny spheres, smaller than a red blood cell, glowing as they navigate the labyrinthine corridors of the human body. These aren't fireflies, they're fluorescent liposomes, a cutting-edge tool in the world of drug delivery and biomedical research. What are liposomes? Liposomes are microscopic bubbles made from phospholipids, the same fatty molecules that make up cell membranes. These ...

Enzymes for Disease Diagnosis: An Overview
Enzymes are protein molecules that catalyze chemical reactions in living organisms. They are involved in many metabolic processes and play a critical role in maintaining the health of the body. In recent years, enzymes have been widely used in disease diagnosis, providing a quick and accurate way to detect and monitor diseases. Enzymes for disease diagnosis can be divided into two categories: ...

Microbial Fermentation -- a Cost Effective Way to Obtain Peptides
Peptides are short chains of amino acids that have various biological activities and therapeutic potential. They play crucial roles in various biological processes, such as cell signaling, enzyme activity regulation, and immune response modulation. Peptide fermentation allows for the production of peptides in sufficient quantities to meet the demands of research, clinical trials, and ...

What is the difference between infection and disease?
Disease-causing microbes are often found in the human microbiome. So, when does the presence of pathogenic microbes indicate an infection? And when does the presence of infection explain disease? What is an infection? What is a disease? A disease associated with microbes is the outcome of interaction(s) between a microbe(s) and its host in which the host suffers some sort of damage. ...
