Sugarcane Wax-Based Solid Lipid Nanoparticles as an Atorvastatin Carrier: Characterization and In Vivo Evaluation of Antihyperlipidemic Activity in Rats

Academic Background Cardiovascular diseases, particularly atherosclerosis, are one of the leading causes of death globally. Elevated cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for atherosclerosis. Atorvastatin (ATV) is a widely used cholesterol-lowering drug, but its oral bioavailability is low, primarily due to first-pass metabolism. To improve th...

Effectiveness of Chitosan Nanoparticles as a Radioprotective Agent Against Gamma-Induced Changes in the Histology and Biochemistry of Parotid Glands

Cancer is one of the leading causes of death worldwide. Radiotherapy, as a crucial method for cancer treatment, effectively kills cancer cells but also damages normal tissues, especially sensitive tissues such as salivary glands. The oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions induced by radiotherapy are the primary causes of salivary gland dysfunc...

A Sparse Bayesian Committee Machine Potential for Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds

Academic Background In the fields of materials science and chemistry, understanding the properties of materials at the atomic level is crucial. However, traditional methods for calculating interatomic potentials, such as Density Functional Theory (DFT), while highly accurate, are computationally expensive and difficult to apply to large-scale syste...

Thermal Transport Properties of Ultra-High-Temperature Ceramic Superlattices

Academic Background In the design of high-temperature thermal insulation and thermoelectric materials, reducing thermal conductivity is a critical goal.
