Biodegradable polymers, encompassing both natural and synthetic polymers, have demonstrated efficacy as carriers for synthetic drugs, natural bioactive molecules, and inorganic metals. This is due to their ability to control the release of these substances. As a result, various advanced materials, such as nanoparticle-loaded hydrogels, nanofibrous scaffolds, and nanocomposites, have been developed. These materials h Read More

In recent years, the field of nanotechnology has brought about significant advancements that have transformed the landscape of disease diagnosis, prevention, and treatment, particularly in the realm of medical science. Among the various approaches to nanoparticle synthesis, the green synthesis method has garnered increasing attention. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have emerged as particularly noteworthy nanomateri Read More

Background: The usage of nicotine and cannabinoids has rapidly grown in popularity, leading to increased research into how they can affect people’s health, both positively and negatively. Nicotine, Cannabidiol (CBD), and Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) have been shown to have significant effects on cytokine function and inflammatory response.ObjectiveThis study aimed to review and summarize the current liter Read More

ObjectiveDiabetic nephropathy is one of the main causes of kidney failure in the end stage of diabetes worldwide. On the other hand, asafoetida is a gum whose hypoglycemic effects have been proven. The present study was conducted with the aim of using asafoetida to prevent diabetic nephropathy.MethodsDiabetes was induced by a high-fat diet (60%) and streptozotocin injection (35 mg/kg) in rats. Diabetic rats were tr Read More

IntroductionCancer is an individual disease and its formation and development are specific to each host. Conventional treatments are ineffective in complex cases, such as metastasis, and have severe adverse side effects. New strategies are needed to address the problem, and the use of immunogenic cell death (ICD) as a trigger or booster of the immune system through the exposure of damage-associated molecular patt Read More
