Optimizing nanoparticle (NP) synthesis from biological sources for effective anticancer activity remains a challenge in treating triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) because of the lack of receptors. This study investigates the use of Moringa oleifera (M. oleifera) flower extract to synthesize chitosan (Ch)-coated silver (Ag) nanoparticles (F-Ch-AgNPs) and assesses their efficacy against TNBC cells (MDA-MB-231) in vitro.

Mutant KRAS promotes the proliferation, metastasis, and aggressiveness of various cancers including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), and colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) respectively. Mutant KRAS therapeutics are limited, while Sotorasib and Adagrasib were the only FDA-approved drugs for the treatment of KRAS mutated NSCLC. Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy has been emerged as an effective strategy against hematological malignancies and being extended towards solid cancers including PDAC.

Alzheimer's Disease (AD) is one of the critical reasons for dementia around the world, with a huge number of cases being reported every year. The breakdown of Amyloid Precursor Protein (APP) plays a crucial role in AD development. The Beta-site APP Cleaving Enzyme 1 (BACE1) is a highly significant proteolytic enzyme found to be critically involved in the APP breakdown process and generates beta-amyloid plaques in the extracellular neuronal membrane.

Article Synopsis
  • A new eco-friendly method using solid-state vibration ball milling is introduced for making metal nanoparticles (MNPs) with dextran (Dx) as a reducing and stabilizing agent.
  • This synthesis allows for size-controlled nanoparticles with consistent quality while avoiding solvents and harsh chemicals, conducted at normal temperatures.
  • The resulting dextran-based MNPs show promising catalytic activity and biocompatibility, suggesting potential uses in industrial and biomedical fields, including cancer treatment.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a slowly progressive neurodegenerative disease and a leading cause of dementia. We aim to identify key genes for the development of therapeutic targets and biomarkers for potential treatments for AD. Meta-analysis was performed on six microarray datasets and identified the differentially expressed genes between healthy and Alzheimer's disease samples.
