Novel anti-cancer drugs in photoimmunotherapy management: from bench to translational research
In recent years, traditional cancer treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation treatment, etc., may damage the pathological tissue and normal cells. The ideal tumor treatment should be noninvasive, eliminating the primary tumor, making the body produce systemic tumor-specific immunity, eliminating metastases, and having less /no side effects. Recent Patents ... read more
Green Nanotechnology and Nanomaterials for a Sustainable Environment
Green nanotechnology (GN) might wind up being the most efficient platform for achieving the goals of the 2030 Agenda. The goal of GN is to create goods and procedures that are secure, energy-efficient, waste-free, and emit fewer greenhouse gases. Such goods and procedures use renewable resources, and/or their environmental impact ... read more

New Drug Design Avenues Targeting Alzheimer’s Disease
Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative age-old disease that is complex, multifactorial, unalterable, and progressive in nature. The currently approved therapy provides only temporary symptomatic relief. We must explore cholinesterase, Tau, GSK3-β and ,NMDA-receptor antagonists, and their combination therapy as dual and multitarget approach against AD. But till now we ... read more
Gut Microbiome and Health
The issue would focus on the gut microbiome’s diversity, functions, and their association with communicable and non-communicable diseases. The issue would encompass the role of gut microbiome in various physiological pathways as well as in diseased conditions such as cancer, metabolic disorder and other complications. The issue would be an ... read more
Drug-Resistant Infections: A Global Challenge for Future
Infections caused by drug resistance occur when pathogens evolve in ways that render antimicrobial drugs ineffective. Pathogens survive and continue to proliferate as a result. When infections are treatable with antimicrobials, individuals can be cured, and further population-wide dissemination can be easily contained. Since widespread use of these "miracle drugs" ... read more
Future landscape of stem cells research and therapy in regenerative medicine
Regenerative medicine will one day dominate and change the landscape of gene editing. A combination of precise gene editing tools like CRISPR/Cas9 and scientists’ knowledge and curiosity on stem cells will bring the medical field a step further than it is today. Despite these hopeful, vibrant, and exciting new transformations, ... read more
Regulation of receptor tyrosine kinase activity
Due to the crucial role of tyrosine kinases in regulating fundamental cellular processes, this Mini-Thematic Issue is aimed at highlighting all the important advances in the field of tyrosine kinases and their pharmacological applications in cancer, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases. read more
Organic Energy Storage Materials and Devices
Dear Colleagues, The emergence of electric vehicles has placed high demands on lithium-ion batteries, which inevitably require large amounts of transition metal resources. The use of this resource raises concerns about the limited supply of transition metals and the associated environmental footprint. Organic energy storage materials and devices that are ... read more
Biological cargo and their role in cancer progression and metastasis
Several other types of cells, such as cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs), lymphocytes, and myeloid cells, coexist with cancer cells in a solid tumor's dynamic and adaptable extracellular matrix (ECM). The interplay between various cell populations often has a significant role in promoting tumor development, facilitating the proliferation of cancer cells from ... read more
Interconnection between neuropsychological and psychophysiological aspects of Alzheimer's disease: Analysis of possible predictors useful in diagnosis and prognosis of the disease
Approximately, one-fifth of older adults have an age-related disorder with associated mental and/or physical disability. Among these, Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia, accounting for 60% of cases. Thus, healthy aging is becoming a globally important issue due to the rising cost of healthcare (World Health ... read more
