Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency (RPI): AI-Driven Drug Discovery, 3D-Bioprinted Neural Models, Bedrock for Synthesizing RNA, DNA, ATP, BBB and Gene Therapy, Leukoencephalopathy
type: item
description: Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency (RPI deficiency) is an ultra-rare genetic neurometabolic condition characterized by mutations in the RPIA gene, which causes disruptions in the non-oxidative pentose phosphate pathway. Disturbances in the metabolism of ribose-5-phosphate lead to disturbances in RNA, DNA, ATP, and other nucleotides' production, causing oxidative stress, mitochondrial defects, and neurological symptoms, such as leukoencephalopathy. This review outlines the molecular genetics, biochemistry, pathogenesis, and symptoms of RPI deficiency, and emphasizes the involvement of ribose-5-phosphate in the nucleotide and energy production within cells. Recent advancements in artificial intelligence (AI)-based drug discovery, precision medicine, metabolic pathway simulation, and drug repositioning for the identification of new drug targets are highlighted. Next-generation technologies including three-dimensional (3D) printed neural models, organoids derived from patient tissues, digital twins, drugs targeted against blood-brain barrier, and gene therapy are also described due to their capability to provide additional benefits for disease modeling and personalized medicine. At last, possible issues and future perspectives regarding the application of this technology to the clinic are presented in this review. The combination of AI, multi-omics tools, and new human-based disease models is expected to be a very promising approach for drug discovery and disease management of Ribose-5-Phosphate Isomerase Deficiency.

title: Marburg, Junín, Machupo, and Kyasanur Forest Disease Viruses: Etiology, Epidemiology, Chemical Architecture, Morphological Fingerprinting, Biomolecular Pathogenesis, Arenaviruses, Orthoflaviviruses, BSL-4 Protocols
description: The zoonotic importance of Viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs) is well documented for Marburg virus (MARV), Junín virus (JUNV), Machupo virus (MACV), and Kyasanur Forest Disease virus (KFDV) due to their high morbidity, mortality, and potential to cause epidemics. Although the above-mentioned viruses are members of different virus families, they have some common pathogenic features such as zoonosis, dysregulation of immunity, endothelial damage, and systemic illness. This review presents an analysis of their causes, prevalence, chemical structure, morphological identification, biochemical etiology, diagnostic techniques, treatment methods, and Biosafety Level-4 (BSL-4) laboratory techniques. Focus is made on human clinical, molecular, and epidemiological data, and less is emphasized on animal experiments. The latest molecular techniques of diagnostics, genome-wide monitoring, vaccine research, anti-viral agents and biosafety measures have helped in detecting and preparing for any outbreak of such diseases. But absence of specific treatments, lack of monitoring in endemic areas, and lack of laboratory facilities still present a challenge for controlling these diseases. In addition, the review identifies research deficiencies existing in today’s scientific field and stresses the necessity of applying One Health principles, international cooperation, developing biosafety capacity and conducting more human-oriented research on VHFs.

Despite their central importance in therapeutic development, conventional GPCR-targeted drugs frequently encounter challenges such as poor solubility, inadequate bioavailability, rapid metabolic degradation, and off-target toxicity, which collectively limit their clinical effectiveness and therapeutic precision. This review aims to critically assess nanocarrier-based drug delivery approaches designed to enhance the targeting specificity, therapeutic efficacy, and translational potential of GPCR-modulating agents. A comprehensive analysis of peer-reviewed literature was conducted, focusing on GPCR structural biology, receptor signalling pathways, and advanced nanocarrier platforms, including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, dendrimers, and hybrid nanostructures. Emphasis was placed on preclinical investigations and early-phase clinical studies exploring GPCR-targeted nanomedicine strategies. Nanocarrier systems demonstrated significant improvements in pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic profiles by enabling controlled and sustained drug release, enhancing ligand stability, and facilitating targeted delivery to specific tissues. These systems also improved penetration across physiological barriers, including the blood–brain barrier, and supported the co-delivery of multiple therapeutic agents. Applications across oncology, neurological, and cardiovascular disorders highlight the broad therapeutic relevance of nanocarrier-assisted GPCR modulation. Nevertheless, challenges related to immunogenicity, long-term safety, large-scale manufacturing, and regulatory standardization remain critical considerations. Overall, nanocarrier-based delivery strategies offer a promising framework to overcome the limitations of conventional …

Next-Generation CAR-NK Immunotherapy for Myeloid Malignancies: From Target Discovery to Clinical Translation
type: item
description: Chimeric antigen receptor-engineered natural killer (CAR-NK) cell therapy has emerged as a promising next-generation immunotherapeutic approach for the treatment of myeloid malignancies, particularly acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), and related myeloproliferative neoplasms. Despite significant advances in conventional chemotherapy, targeted therapies, and hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), long-term outcomes remain unsatisfactory for many patients, especially those with relapsed or refractory disease. While CAR-T cell therapies have revolutionized the management of B-cell malignancies, their application in myeloid cancers has been limited by target antigen overlap with normal hematopoietic tissues, severe toxicities, and manufacturing complexities. CAR-NK cells offer several potential advantages, including potent innate antitumor activity, lower risk of cytokine release syndrome and graft-versus-host disease, and the feasibility of developing universal “off-the-shelf” cellular products. Recent preclinical studies and early-phase clinical trials have demonstrated encouraging safety profiles and preliminary efficacy of CAR-NK platforms targeting key myeloid antigens such as CD33 and CD123. Furthermore, advances in induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived NK cells, gene-editing technologies, and cytokine-enhanced CAR constructs have accelerated the clinical translation of this therapeutic modality. However, several challenges continue to impede widespread clinical implementation. These include antigen heterogeneity, on-target myelotoxicity affecting normal hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells, limited in vivo persistence and trafficking of NK cells, immunosuppressive bone marrow microenvironments, and constraints on scalable manufacturing. Innovative engineering strategies, including multi-antigen targeting, armored CAR constructs, cytokine support systems, checkpoint inhibition, and combination therapies, are being act…

Sustainable Solid Dispersion Approach Using Tamarind Seed Mucilage for Enhanced Drug Release
type: item
description: Ibuprofen is difficult to dissolve in water and has limited bioavailability. To enhance dissolution and stability, the study explores a co-solvency-based solid dispersion method using tamarind seed mucilage as a natural polymer carrier. Drug: mucilage ratios of 1:0.5, 1:1, and 1:1.5 were employed, with ethanol as a co-solvent under a solvent evaporation method. Equivalent physical mixtures were prepared for comparison. Along with FTIR and XRD studies endorsing ibuprofen's change to amorphous nature without chemical interaction with the carrier, phytochemical tests established the presence of bioactive chemicals in the mucilage. Substantial progress was demonstrated in in vitro dissolution testing; the SD (3) 1:1.5 formulation had a dissolution efficiency of 91.6% and 99.8% drug release within 60 minutes. Particle size and zeta potential measurements indicated stable surface charges and nanoscale particles, particularly for SD (3). Compared to physical blends and pure ibuprofen, solid dispersions showed improved drug content and release effectiveness throughout the semiannual stability test under 40°C, 75% relative humidity. These results illustrate how tamarind seed mucilage can be utilized in co-solvency-based solid dispersions as an effective and environmentally friendly means of increasing solubility and therapeutic effectiveness of drugs with low aqueous solubility. This approach paves the way for improved drug delivery systems through offering a sustainable, scalable alternative and encouraging more research into natural carriers for drug formulations.

Molecular Pharmacology of Ion Channels: Implications for Pain and Neurological Disorders
type: item
description: Ion channels are central to neuronal excitability and synaptic communication, tightly regulating the flow of sodium, potassium, calcium, and chloride ions across cellular membranes. Their dysfunction—arising from genetic mutations, post-translational modifications, or cellular stress—contributes to the pathogenesis of neuropathic pain, epilepsy, migraine, and other neurological disorders. This review delineates the major ion-channel families including voltage-gated sodium (NaV), calcium (CaV), and potassium (KV/HCN) channels, as well as transient receptor potential (TRP) and acid-sensing ion channels (ASICs), highlighting their molecular pharmacology and significance in pain and neurological pathophysiology. Mechanistic insights reveal that hyperexcitability, synaptic hypertransmission, and disinhibition resulting from altered ion-channel activity form the basis of chronic neuronal hyperactivity. The review further examines current pharmacological modulators—such as NaV1.8 inhibitors (VX-548), N-type calcium channel blockers (ziconotide), HCN inhibitors (ivabradine), and TRPV1 agonists (capsaicin)and their clinical implications. Despite promising advances, therapeutic translation is limited by issues of selectivity, delivery, and systemic safety. Emerging directions include structure-guided drug design, nanocarrier formulations, and genetically informed precision medicine. Collectively, ion-channel–targeted pharmacology embodies a shift from generalized symptom control toward highly specific, mechanism-based interventions for pain and neurological disorders.

Pharmacogenomics in Cardiovascular Pharmacology: Toward Precision Medicine in Hypertension and Heart Failure
type: item
description: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, posing a persistent challenge to global health systems. Despite significant advancements in drug discovery and therapeutic interventions, interindividual variability in drug response continues to limit treatment efficacy and safety. Pharmacogenomics, the science of understanding how genetic variations affect drug response, has emerged as a crucial tool in addressing this variability and advancing personalized cardiovascular therapy. In conditions such as hypertension and heart failure, genetic polymorphisms in drug-metabolizing enzymes, transporters, and molecular targets have been shown to influence therapeutic outcomes and adverse event profiles. Variants in genes such as ADRB1, ADRB2, ACE, AGTR1, and SLC12A3 modulate patient responses to widely used cardiovascular drugs including β-blockers, ACE inhibitors, angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs), and diuretics. Understanding these gene–drug interactions enables clinicians to tailor pharmacological strategies to an individual’s genetic makeup, improving efficacy while minimizing toxicity. Furthermore, the integration of multi-omics technologies—including transcriptomics, metabolomics, and proteomics—alongside polygenic risk scoring and machine learning–based models is transforming cardiovascular pharmacogenomics from a single-gene focus to a systems-level understanding. These integrative approaches hold the potential to predict not only therapeutic responses but also disease progression and adverse drug reactions in real time. Ultimately, pharmacogenomics is propelling cardiovascular medicine toward a precision-driven era, where treatments are informed by an individual’s unique genetic and molecular profile rather than population averages. This paradigm shift promises more accurate, effective, and safer interventions in the management of CVDs.

Clinical Translation of Nanomedicine in Oncology: Advances, Challenges, and Future Directions in Hepatic, Renal, Breast, and Brain Malignancies
type: item
description: Nanomedicine has emerged as a transformative approach in oncology, offering the potential to enhance therapeutic efficacy, minimize systemic toxicity, and enable precision diagnostics. This systematic review synthesizes evidence from ongoing and completed clinical trials investigating nanomedicine platforms including liposomes, polymeric nanoparticles, micelles, dendrimers, inorganic nanocarriers, and biomimetic systems across four major malignancies: hepatic, renal, breast, and brain cancers. Data were extracted from ClinicalTrials.gov, PubMed, Embase, and WHO ICTRP following PRISMA guidelines, with inclusion limited to Phase I–III interventional trials. Breast cancer demonstrated the greatest clinical translation, supported by regulatory approvals for liposomal doxorubicin, albumin-bound paclitaxel, and polymeric micelles, which showed improved safety and survival outcomes compared to conventional therapies. In hepatic and renal malignancies, nanomedicine trials highlighted advances in tumor-specific targeting, improved drug tolerability, and innovative theranostic platforms, though confirmatory Phase III survival benefits remain limited. For brain tumors, particularly glioblastoma, novel nanocarriers demonstrated enhanced blood–brain barrier penetration and favorable tolerability, yet translation remains constrained by small-scale, early-phase studies. Across all malignancies, persistent challenges include heterogeneous pharmacokinetics, immunogenicity, manufacturing complexity, and regulatory ambiguity. Despite these hurdles, advances in multifunctional and personalized nanomedicine, integration with immunotherapy, and adoption of theranostic platforms underscore the growing translational promise of nanotechnology in oncology. This review highlights both the achievements and limitations of current clinical trials, while outlining future strategies necessary for advancing nanomedicine from bench to bedside.

type: item
description: Nanomedicine is rapidly reshaping oncology by improving drug delivery, enhancing therapeutic precision, and reducing systemic toxicity. This systematic review evaluates clinical trials (2019–2024) involving nanomedicine-based interventions across four major cancers: hepatic, renal, breast, and brain malignancies. The analysis reveals that breast cancer has achieved the most significant translational advances, supported by the clinical approval of liposomal doxorubicin, albumin-bound paclitaxel, and polymeric micelles, which demonstrate improved tolerability and survival benefits compared to conventional chemotherapeutics. In hepatic and renal cancers, nanomedicine approaches highlight promising advances in tumor targeting, immune modulation, and theranostics, although large-scale survival benefits are yet to be confirmed. For brain tumors, innovative nanocarriers have shown improved blood–brain barrier penetration and safety profiles; however, their clinical translation remains restricted by small sample sizes and early-phase evaluations. Nonetheless, integration of nanomedicine with immunotherapy, personalization strategies, and multifunctional theranostic designs represents a strong forward trajectory. This review emphasizes both the achievements and persistent barriers in the clinical translation of nanomedicine and outlines future strategies required for advancing precision oncology.

HBV Pre-S Mutants and Hepatocellular Carcinoma: New Molecular Pathways, Clinical Implications, and Therapeutic Horizons (2020–2025)
type: item
description: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) pre-S mutants, particularly deletions in the pre-S1 and pre-S2 regions of the viral envelope gene, have emerged as critical molecular drivers of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). These mutants contribute to liver carcinogenesis by inducing endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, oxidative DNA damage, and activating multiple oncogenic signaling pathways including PI3K/Akt/mTOR, NF-κB, and COX-2. Epidemiological data from 2020–2025 highlight their high prevalence in East Asian populations, especially in HBV genotypes B and C, with strong associations to tumor development, recurrence, and poor prognosis. Advancements in next-generation sequencing and liquid biopsy technologies have enabled the non-invasive detection of pre-S mutants, enhancing their potential as biomarkers for early diagnosis, risk stratification, and therapeutic monitoring. Preclinical and clinical research has also identified novel therapeutic strategies targeting mutant-induced stress pathways, immune evasion mechanisms, and metabolic reprogramming. The integration of pre-S mutant profiling into precision oncology approaches is anticipated to transform HCC management, particularly in HBV-endemic regions.

Expanding Frontiers: Liver Transplantation as a Curative Modality for Unresectable Colorectal Liver Metastases: A Precision Oncology Approach
type: item
description: Colorectal cancer (CRC) remains a major global health burden, with liver metastases (CRLM) representing a significant cause of mortality. While surgical resection offers curative potential, only a minority of patients with CRLM are eligible due to anatomical or biological constraints. Historically, liver transplantation (LT) for CRLM showed poor outcomes, but recent advancements in imaging, molecular profiling, immunosuppression, and patient selection have reignited interest in LT as a potentially curative modality for unresectable CRLM. Landmark studies such as SECA-I, SECA-II, and TRANSMET have reported 5-year overall survival rates exceeding 80% in carefully selected patients, positioning LT as a viable alternative to systemic therapies and liver-directed treatments. The integration of biomarkers such as ctDNA, the Oslo score, RECIST response, and molecular exclusion criteria (e.g., BRAF V600E, dMMR) now enable precision selection and surveillance. Innovations like normothermic perfusion, extended criteria donors, and living donor transplantation have also expanded organ availability while addressing ethical considerations. Despite promising outcomes, standardized post-transplant chemotherapy regimens remain undefined, and immunotherapy poses challenges due to graft rejection risks. Ongoing trials and emerging technologies, including AI-driven imaging and liquid biopsies, are expected to shape the future of transplant oncology, potentially transforming the therapeutic paradigm for metastatic CRC.

Childhood Renal Risk Factors and Adult Chronic Kidney Disease: A Multi-National Longitudinal Cohort Study
type: item
description: Background: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a growing global health burden, with many cases emerging silently over decades. While adult risk factors for CKD are well-established, there is increasing interest in identifying childhood origins of renal disease. This study evaluates whether renal risk profiles in childhood are associated with CKD incidence in adulthood using multinational, longitudinal cohort data.Methods: A pooled dataset from five international cohorts (N = 35,482; follow-up range: 25–40 years) was analyzed. Childhood renal risk factors included body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), serum uric acid, albuminuria, low birth weight, and family history of kidney disease. Adult CKD was defined as estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) <60 mL/min/1.73m², persistent albuminuria, dialysis, or kidney transplantation. Cox regression models were adjusted for sex, race, SES, and cohort. Multiple imputation handled missing data.Results: 2,431 individuals (6.8%) developed CKD in adulthood. Elevated childhood uric acid (HR: 1.51, 95% CI: 1.33–1.72), SBP (HR: 1.42, 95% CI: 1.28–1.56), and obesity (HR: 1.67, 95% CI: 1.45–1.91) were significantly associated with adult CKD. The combined-risk z score (mean of standardized risk factors) strongly predicted CKD (HR: 2.88, 95% CI: 2.31–3.59). A dose-response relationship was observed across quartiles of childhood risk scores.Conclusions: Childhood renal risk factors, particularly obesity, hypertension, and hyperuricemia, are strongly predictive of CKD in midlife. Early-life interventions may substantially reduce the global burden of kidney disease.

type: item
description: The sub-Himalayan foothills is a repository of information of ethnobotanical material and the scarcely available medicinal shrub such as Justicia Adhatoda, Rhododendron arboreum and Berberis asiatica which have been traditionally used in treating various cases. In this review, the significance of these plants in terms of ethnomedicinal, traditional knowledge system and current conservation status has been documented in the context of growing threats such as overutilisation, habitat destruction and the changing climate. Field studies that have been carried out from regions such as Uttarakhand, Sikkim, and Himachal Pradesh reveal complex preparations and highly valued culture as regards to these plants. However, problems such as a low youth involvement, variability of the oral transmission, and the inefficiency of the species-specific conservation policies frustrate conservation. This review brings out the crucial need of multi tiered conservation efforts which include both in-situ and ex-situ methods, participation of the community and policy changes to sustainable utilization. Stressing on the economic significance of these shrubs in herbal and pharmaceutical industries, the research advocates an integrative approach that incorporates harmonization of biodiversity conservation and livelihoods at the local level and conservation of cultural heritage.

Design And Evaluation of Biodegradable Polymeric Carriers for Targeted Drug Delivery in Albino Rats
type: item
description: Biodegradable polymeric carriers are a potential replacement for the targeted delivery of drugs because of their biocompatibility, controlled drug release, and capacity to diminish systemic toxicity. In this research, biodegradable polymeric nanoparticles, which were designed based on PLGA, chitosan, and PCL, were developed and assessed for the targeted delivery of a model drug in albino rats. Thirty rats were adult and divided into three groups: one treated with free drug, one with the drug loaded in non-targeted carriers, and one with the drug incorporated into targeted polymeric carriers. The solvent evaporation method was utilized to prepare nanoparticles and functionalize them with folic acid for targeting tumors. Pharmacokinetic evaluation showed that the targeted carrier group had the highest C_max (12.5 μg/mL), half-life (7.4 h), and AUC (112.9 μg·h/mL) values, which reflect increased bioavailability and controlled release. Biodistribution analysis verified significantly increased drug accumulation in the tumor (9.4 μg/g) in the targeted group relative to others. Histopathological examination revealed minimal toxicity in the critical organs among the polymeric groups. Statistical testing with ANOVA confirmed significant differences (p < 0.05) in pharmacokinetic and biodistribution parameters among the groups. The results affirm that targeted biodegradable polymeric carriers represent a better option compared to conventional drug delivery in enhancing site-specific accumulation, therapeutic efficacy, and safety.
