Breast cancer poses a significant global challenge, prompting researchers to explore novel approaches for potential treatments. In this study, we investigated the binding free energy (ΔG) of bevacizumab, an anti-cancer therapy targeting angiogenesis through inhibition vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), with various proto-oncogenes including CDK4, EGFR, frizzled, IGFR, OmoMYC, and KIT. Our in-silico investigation revealed that hydrogen bonding is pivotal in inducing conformational changes within DNA structure, impeding its replication preventing cell death. Molecular docking results presence crucial bonds supported formation stable bevacizumab complexes. The molecular scores tested complexes were CDK4 (Score = −7.2 kcal/mol), EGFR −8.5 frizzled −6.9 IGFR −7.8 KIT −6.5 MYC −8.3 kcal/mol). mode demonstrated vital correlated observed gap. Notably, calculated energies compounds are as follows: (ΔG 24275.195 ± 6411.293 kJ/mol), 363273.625 8731.466 181751.990 28438.515 162414.725 10728.367 40162.585 4331.017 434783.463 53989.676 kJ/mol). Furthermore, extensive 100 ns MD simulations, complex structure. simulations confirmed stability proto-oncogenes. study highlight promising candidate anticancer treatment. identification bonding, along scores, provides valuable insights into interactions These findings open new avenues future research development targeted breast other related malignancies.

Cancer is a severe disease that results in death all countries of the world. A nano-based drug delivery approach best alternative, directly targeting cancer tumor cells with improved cellular uptake. Different types nanoparticle-based carriers are advanced for treatment cancer, and to increase therapeutic effectiveness safety therapy, many substances have been looked into as carriers. Lipid-based nanoparticles (LBNPs) significantly attracted interest recently. These natural biomolecules alternate other polymers frequently recycled medicine due their amphipathic properties. Lipid typically provide variety benefits, including biocompatibility biodegradability. This review covers different classes LBNPs, characterization synthesis technologies. discusses most significant advancements lipid nanoparticle technology use administration. Moreover, also emphasized applications used types.

The spread of infectious diseases such as COVID-19 depends on complex fluid dynamics interactions between pathogens and phases, including individual droplets multiphase clouds. Understanding these is crucial for predicting controlling disease spread. This applies to human animal exhalations, coughs sneezes, well bursting bubbles that create micron-sized in various indoor outdoor environments. By exploring case studies this regard, study examines the emerging field transmission, focusing flows, interfacial turbulence, pathogens, traffic, aerosol ventilation, breathing microenvironments. These results indicate increased ventilation rates local methods can effectively reduce concentration SARS-CoV-2-laden aerosols immediate spaces individuals. In a displacement-ventilated room, both neutral unstable conditions were more effective removing breathed from air, regardless presence test subjects. However, stable may increase risk infection individuals living confined spaces. Thus, findings are useful providing practical guidance managing airborne infections.

The increasing incidence of breast cancers (BCs) in the world population and their complexity high metastatic ability are serious concerns for healthcare systems. Despite significant progress medicine made recent decades, efficient treatment invasive still remains challenging. Chemotherapy, a fundamental systemic method, is burdened with severe adverse effects, efficacy limited by resistance development risk disease recurrence. Also, current diagnostic methods have certain drawbacks, attracting attention to idea developing novel, more sensitive detection therapeutic modalities. It seems solution these issues can be provided nanotechnology. Particularly, quantum dots (QDs) been extensively evaluated as potential targeted drug delivery vehicles and, simultaneously, sensing bioimaging probes. These fluorescent nanoparticles offer unlimited possibilities surface modifications, allowing attachment biomolecules, such antibodies or proteins, molecules, among others. In this work, we discuss applicability QDs cancer diagnostics light knowledge. We begin introducing molecular histopathological features BCs, standard regimens, methods. Further, QDs, along uptake, biodistribution patterns, cytotoxicity, described. Based on reports published years, present research possible QD use improving BC chemotherapeutic photosensitizing agents, stages development. also address limitations open questions regarding topic.

Abstract This study investigates the potential of alkaloids – nitidine, harmine, harmaline, berberine, and magnoflurine as inhibitors HIV –CD4 binding, focusing on their molecular interactions, binding affinities, pharmacokinetic properties. Molecular docking results revealed that all exhibited high-affinity to CD4 receptor showed significant interactions with spike protein ( -SP). Interaction analysis nitidine harmaline formed hydrogen bonds hydrophobic while harmine relied van der Waals forces π-stacking. Pharmacokinetic evaluations, based Lipinski’s Rule Five, favorable oral bioavailability, moderate lipophilicity, blood–brain barrier permeability, having a bioavailability score 0.55, showing promising candidate for development anti- therapeutics, supported by solid stability in MD simulations, profiles. simulations confirmed CD4– -SP complex, magnesium fluoride highest strength minimal structural deviation, berberine stability. MM-GBSA calculations most potent inhibitor free energy.

Cancer is the most widely studied disorder in humans, but proper treatment has not yet been developed for it. Conventional therapies, like chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery, have employed. Such therapies target only cancerous cells also harm normal cells. therapy does result specific targeting hence leads to severe side effects. The main objective of this study explore QDs. QDs are used as nanocarriers diagnosis at same time. They based on principle theranostic approach. can be conjugated with antibodies
