Effective cerebral tuberculosis treatment has been developed by Krishna Jadhav, Agrim Jhilta, Raghuraj singh, Eupa Ray, Ph.D, Vimal Kumar, Awadh Bihari Yadav, Amit Kumar Singh, Ph.D. and Dr. Rahul K. Verma through the use of nose-to-brain transport of anti-tuberculosis drugs using mucoadhesive nano-aggregates. In the work published in Nanoscale, the scientists are able to overcome the blood–brain barrier and reduce mycobacterial load by combining intranasal chitosan nano-aggregates with anti-tuberculosis drugs.

Our Nanoscale back cover features Deterministic positioning of few aqueous colloidal quantum dots by Muhammad Tegar Pambudi, Deepshikha Arora, Xiao Liang, Basudeb Sain, Anupama Sargur Ranganath, Matthew R. Chua, Cam Nhung Vu, Golnoush Zamiri, Md. Abdur Rahman, Hilmi Volkan Demir, Joel K. W. Yang and Lu Ding. The authors describe how the template-assisted saturated-vapor drop casting method achieves deterministic spatial localization of few to single aqueous silica-cladded colloidal quantum dots, yielding ~40% single-particle yield and ~80% total site occupancy.

I hope that the paper does not just raise awareness of nanoparticles-based sensing, but also the role of hormones in physical science community.

Hormones are the messengers of the body; using nanoparticles-based electrochemical biosensors, they can be detected quickly. Find out more about the latest developments in our Nanoscale cover article! Progress in nanoparticle-based electrochemical biosensors for hormone detection by Francesco Rossi, Thithawat Trakoolwilaiwan, Valeria Gigli, Cristina Tortolini, Andrea Lenzi, Andrea Maria Isidori, Nguyen T. K. Thanh, MAE FRSC FInstP FASP FRSB FIMMM and Riccarda Antiochia presents a critical comparison between different types of nanoparticle-based electrochemical biosensors for the detection of various hormones.

In honour of the 2024 #NobelPrize for Physiology or Medicine the RSC have curated a cross-journal collection of impactful studies on microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation.  Read all this amazing work online now for free until 31 November: https://lnkd.in/eYFmzcwt This cross-journal collection celebrates the 2024 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine by bringing together research published on microRNA and its role in post-transcriptional gene regulation. Understanding microRNAs’ important role in gene expression has also helped in the understanding of their dysregulation and the subsequent health impacts caused as well as offering potential therapeutic treatments. This collection highlights work on microRNAs’ effects on gene expression, potential uses in diagnostics and treatments, delivery methods, detection, quantification, and more.
