Parkinson's disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that impacts a significant portion of the population. Despite extensive research, an effective cure for PD remains elusive, and conventional pharmacological treatments often face limitations in efficacy and management of symptoms. There has been a lot of discussion about using nanotechnology to increase the bioavailability of small- mole Read More

Skin cancer is a significant health concern, affecting millions of individuals globally on an annual basis. According to data from the World Health Organization, it stands as the most prevalent form of cancer within the white population. Current treatments for skin cancer typically involve a combination of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery. However, these methods often come with drawbacks, such as side effect Read More

Ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury refers to the tissue damage that happens when blood flow returns to tissue after a period of ischemia. I/R injuries are implicated in a large array of pathological conditions, such as cerebral, myocardial, renal, intestinal, retinal and hepatic ischemia. The hallmark of these pathologies is excessive inflammation. Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are recognized as significant contributors to inflammation caus Read More

BackgroundDrug discovery is a complex and expensive procedure involving several timely and costly phases through which new potential pharmaceutical compounds must pass to get approved. One of these critical steps is the identification and optimization of lead compounds, which has been made more accessible by the introduction of computational methods, including deep learning (DL) techniques. Diverse DL mo Read More
