article discusses how plant synthetic biology is reshaping biofortification strategies, particularly through approaches such as heterologous pathway engineering and transporter-based redistribution
Animal models have traditionally served as the cornerstone of drug safety evaluation; however, major translational challenges persist due to interspecies differences in physiology, metabolism, and genetic regulation. Many compounds demonstrating favorable toxicity profiles in animals later fail during human trials or are withdrawn post-marketing due to unforeseen adverse effects, especially hepatotoxicity and cardiotoxicity (Lee et al., 2025).
Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines represent one of the most significant scientific advances in modern therapeutics. Unlike conventional vaccines that use weakened or inactivated pathogens, mRNA vaccines deliver genetic instructions that enable host cells to synthesize a target antigen and stimulate an immune response.
Disorders of Gut–Brain Interaction (DGBIs), such as Functional Dyspepsia (FD) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), present a formidable clinical impasse due to their profoundly heterogeneous and multifactorial nature.
Vancomycin is an essential glycopeptide antibiotic used to treat life-threatening infections caused by Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). It functions by inhibiting bacterial cell-wall synthesis and is still the most potent drug to be used when others fail (Patel, Preuss, & Bernice, 2023).
Wireless Power Transmission, or WPT, is a new technology that allows electricity to travel without the need for wires, using electromagnetic fields. This article covers how WPT works, the key components involved, the different methods it uses to send power, its applications in daily life, the benefits it offers, the challenges it faces, and what the future holds. Learn how wireless energy transfer is revolutionizing smartphones, EVs, healthcare, and smart cities.
Plant mucilage is a thick, glue-like substance produced by plants that helps with seed germination, water and nutrient storage, and defense. Flax and chia seeds are rich sources of mucilage and have various applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
Ageing is accompanied by a gradual decline in physiological functions, among which deterioration of the immune system termed immunosenescence—has profound implications for human health.
Haploinsufficient genes show how losing one gene copy can affect brain development, increasing risk for neurodevelopmental disorders and behaviour changes.
A low-energy dynamical approach could give companion AI the gift of long-term relational memory - especially valuable for eldercare.
India holds the world's 5th largest Rare Earth reserves but produces less than 1%. Explore the science and strategy behind India's quest for mineral sovereignty and high-tech independence.
Explaining The Reciprocity Between Your Brain and Your Belly For the past decade, the scientific community has increased its focus on mental health disorders including anxiety, depression,
Biologics have transformed the management of chronic and life-threatening diseases such as cancer, autoimmune disorders, and metabolic conditions. However, their complexity, high production costs, and limited affordability continue to challenge healthcare systems worldwide.
You slept last night and woke up with a pimple popping up on your face! It would make you feel angry and depressed. Isn’t it? This could be hormonal acne. Hormonal acne could appear as common forms of acne, such as whiteheads, or more severe types of acne, such as nodules and cysts. Let us delve into and learn more about hormonal acne and various ways to deal with it.
Today, generalized anxiety disorder is affecting millions of Americans. The disorder usually traps the sufferers in cycles of fear and isolation in a way that even standard treatments cannot relieve completely. UCSF neuroscientist Jennifer Mitchell, PhD, is testing a surprising brand-new approach that can ease symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder by reshaping how the brain thinks and feels.
Environmental endocrine disruptors (EEDs) are natural and synthetic chemicals that interfere with endocrine system function by altering hormone synthesis, transport, metabolism, and receptor binding.
With the potential of AI tools revolutionizing the world of healthcare, there are ethical risk factors that need to be looked at before their implementation.
Discover how AI is reshaping radiology, from faster diagnoses to improved accuracy, and what this means for patients and healthcare professionals.
Evolution is often imagined as a process that unfolds over millions of years. However, in microorganisms such as yeasts, evolutionary changes can occur much more rapidly. Yeasts reproduce quickly, populations grow to large sizes, and genetic variations can spread through generations in a short time.
Why is mucus the biggest obstacle to lung drug delivery? Explore the mucosal barrier science reshaping how we design inhaled medicines and vaccines.
