Current anticancer drugs exhibit limited efficacy and initiate severe side effects. As such, identifying bioactive agents that can surpass these limitations is a necessity. One such agent, curcumin, polyphenolic compound derived from turmeric, has been widely investigated for its potential anti-inflammatory effects over the last 40 years. However, poor bioavailability of caused by low absorption, limits clinical use. In order to solve this issue, in study, curcumin was encapsulated...

Nerve guide conduits (NGCs) are promising alternatives to autografts for the treatment of peripheral nerve injuries. These designed replace tissue that has been damaged or removed from injured region. An ideal conduit should effectively bridge gap and induce cell growth regeneration. Current FDA-approved NGCs predominantly address gaps smaller than 2 cm fabricated rigid synthetic polymers. Nevertheless, cells prefer softer substrates more closely mimic extracellular matrix (ECM). While...
