Degenerative diseases continue to impose a substantial global health burden with limited curative options. Neurodegenerative diseases, the principal focus of this review, are among the largest contributors to this burden. Stem cell therapies have emerged as a promising approach, offering the potential to replace lost c...
Most bioactive nutraceuticals and many oral pharmaceuticals share a common translational bottleneck: poor aqueous solubility, gastrointestinal instability, and low systemic bioavailability that blunt their clinical and nutritional benefit. Nanoencapsulation — the entrapment of a bioactive within a nanoscale lipid, poly...

Intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs) and intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs) of proteins constitute a substantial and functionally critical fraction of the eukaryotic proteome. Through multivalent, low-affinity interactions encoded in their low-complexity domains (LCDs), IDPs drive liquid-liquid phase separatio...

ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) have emerged as ubiquitous environmental contaminants with profound implications for human neurological health. Recent landmark findings confirm the bioaccumulation of MPs/NPs in human brain tissue—with concentrations reaching 4917 μg/g in 2024 autopsy samples and up...
