Unlocking therapeutic potential in traumatic brain injury: exploring microenvironmental targets, signaling pathways and translational hurdles.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is a catastrophic event resulting from external mechanical forces, leading to a variety of neurological impairments. The complexity and heterogeneity of injuries are among the major speculated reasons for various unmet clinical needs in the effective management of TBI. Brain damage due to TBI results in both primary and secondary injury mechanisms.

Unveiling the revolutionary approach for psoriasis management: Leveraging the breakthrough capabilities of hyaluronic acid.

Psoriasis is an unexceptional autoimmune-mediated, inflammatory skin disorder impacting systemic skin functions. The pathophysiology of psoriasis comprises hyperproliferation of cells on the epidermis, differentiation of keratinocytes, and the impaired barrier function of the epidermal layer of the skin, developing in the thickening of the epidermal layer. From a range of inflammatory mediators concerned during the pathogenesis of psoriasis, IL-17, -23, and TNF-α exert a significant influence on the upregulation of the symptoms.

Surface engineered nano architectonics: An evolving paradigm for tackling Alzheimer's disease.

As per the World Health Organization (WHO) estimation, Alzheimer's disease (AD) will affect 100 million population across the globe by 2050. AD is an incurable neurodegenerative disease that remains a mystery for neurologists owing to its complex pathophysiology. Currently, available therapeutic regimens will only cause symptomatic relief by improving the cognitive and behavioral functions of AD.

Perspective insights of small molecules, phytoconstituents and biologics in the management of psoriasis: A focus on targeting major inflammatory cytokine pathways.

Psoriasis is an enduring, pruritic and papulosquamous skin ailment that poses a significant burden on public health. It is mainly characterized by hyperkeratosis, acanthosis, parakeratosis, scaly and erythematous plaques. Biomarkers like interleukin-17, interleukin-12 and -23 and tumor necrosis factor-α serve as key drivers of psoriatic pathogenesis.

Nanomedicine based potentially transformative strategies for colon targeting of peptides: State-of-the-art.

Recently, peptides have attracted tremendous attention among researchers attributed to their high target specificity and efficacy compared to conventional therapeutics. The ease of self-administration and non-invasiveness confers oral as the most desirable route. However, numerous challenges associated with peptide delivery through the oral route like harsh gastrointestinal environment, enzymatic degradation, and absorption barriers hinder its clinical translation.

Advancements in redox-sensitive micelles as nanotheranostics: A new horizon in cancer management.

World Health Organisation (WHO) delineated cancer as one of the foremost reasons for mortality with 10 million deaths in the year 2020. Early diagnosis and effective drug delivery are of utmost importance in cancer management. The entrapment of both bio-imaging dyes and drugs will open novel avenues in the area of tumor theranostics.
