Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders01:24

Treatment Strategies for Psychological Disorders

762
Treatment approaches for psychological disorders fall into three main categories: psychological, biological, and sociocultural. Each approach targets different aspects of mental health, requiring varying levels of education and training.
Psychological therapies focus on modifying emotions, thoughts, and behaviors through talking, interpreting, listening, rewarding, challenging, and modeling. Clinical psychologists, counselors, and social workers commonly practice psychotherapy. Clinical...

Treatment Resistant Cancers02:56

Treatment Resistant Cancers

3.7K
Cancer is the second leading cause of death in the United States. A cancer cell is genetically unstable and hence can mutate faster. They can also modify their microenvironment and escape immune surveillance. The difficulties in treating cancer are further compounded by the emergence of rapid resistance to anticancer drugs. The most common ways to attain resistance in cancer cells include alteration in drug transport and metabolism, modification of drug target, elevated DNA damage response, or...

Targeted Cancer Therapies02:57

Targeted Cancer Therapies

8.9K
The targeted cancer therapies, also known as “molecular targeted therapies,” take advantage of the molecular and genetic differences between the cancer cells and the normal cells. It needs a thorough understanding of the cancer cells to develop drugs that can target specific molecular aspects that drive the growth, progression, and spread of cancer cells without affecting the growth and survival of other normal cells in the body.
There are several types of targeted therapies against...

Impact Loading01:19

Impact Loading

687
Impact loading occurs when a moving object collides with a stationary structure, such as a rod with a uniform cross-sectional area fixed at one end. Under these conditions, the rod absorbs the kinetic energy from the striking object, leading to deformation and subsequent stress development. As the rod returns to its original position and reaches maximum stress, the absorbed energy, initially manifested as kinetic energy, transforms entirely into strain energy.
In cases of elastic deformation,...

Eccentric Loading01:16

Eccentric Loading

936
Eccentric loading is a crucial concept in the study of structural engineering and mechanics, particularly when analyzing the stability and stress distribution in columns. Unlike centric loading, where the force is applied along the centroidal axis, causing uniform compression, eccentric loading occurs when a force is applied off-center. This off-center application introduces not only direct compressive stress but also bending stress, significantly influencing the column's behavior under...

Distributed Loads01:19

Distributed Loads

963
Distributed loads are a common type of load that engineers and scientists encounter in various practical situations. Distributed loads often refer to a type of load spread over a surface or a structure and can be modeled as continuous force per unit area.
For example, consider a bookshelf filled with books stacked vertically adjacent to each other. The weight of the books is evenly distributed over the length of the shelf. As a result, the pressure at different locations on the surface of the...

Area of Science:

  • Biotechnology
  • Nanomedicine
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Breast cancer is a leading cause of mortality in women worldwide.
  • Conventional chemotherapy, like paclitaxel (PTX), faces challenges including poor solubility, systemic toxicity, and low efficacy.
  • There is a need for improved drug delivery systems to enhance breast cancer treatment outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the potential of paclitaxel-loaded nanoarchaeosomes (PTX-NAs) as a novel therapeutic for breast cancer.
  • To synthesize and characterize PTX-NAs for improved drug delivery and efficacy.
  • To evaluate the in vitro anticancer activity and biocompatibility of PTX-NAs.

Main Methods:

  • Paclitaxel-loaded nanoarchaeosomes (PTX-NAs) were synthesized and characterized using Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS), Zeta potential analysis, and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
  • Drug loading efficiency and release kinetics were quantified.
  • In vitro anticancer activity was assessed on MCF-7 breast cancer cells, and biocompatibility was evaluated on NIH 3T3 fibroblast cells.

Main Results:

  • PTX-NAs exhibited a size of approximately 50 nm and a stable surface charge (-59.8 mV).
  • High paclitaxel loading efficiency (92 ± 1%) and significant release (82 ± 3% within 12 h) were achieved.
  • PTX-NAs demonstrated significantly enhanced anticancer efficacy against MCF-7 cells (IC50 = 0.08 μM) compared to free paclitaxel (IC50 = 0.28 μM), with no observed toxicity to NIH 3T3 cells.

Conclusions:

  • Paclitaxel-loaded nanoarchaeosomes represent a promising nanoformulation for targeted breast cancer therapy.
  • PTX-NAs offer enhanced therapeutic efficacy and improved safety profile compared to conventional paclitaxel administration.
  • This nano-based approach holds potential for clinical application in breast cancer treatment, minimizing systemic toxicity.
