Role of Natural Products in Inflammatory Pharmacology: Harnessing Nature\u27s Potential Through Drug Delivery for Therapeutic Intervention
Inflammatory disorders encompass a broad spectrum of conditions marked by abnormal immune responses and persistent inflammation, affecting healthcare and patient well-being. Seeking alternative, safe, and efficacious treatments, researchers are turning to natural products within the realm of inflammatory pharmacology. These products, sourced from plants, animals, and microorganisms, hold promise as therapeutic interventions. Natural products exhibit complex interactions with molecular targets and signaling pathways involved in the inflammatory cascade across various diseases. These interactions result in anti-inflammatory (AI) effects and provide potential therapeutic benefits. These advantages may be harnessed via diverse drug delivery methods used for administering these natural products. Plant-derived compounds like CUR (CUR), found in turmeric, exhibit robust AI effects by modulating inflammation-associated pathways. Resveratrol (RES), present in grapes and berries, mitigates inflammation and oxidative stress. Similarly, animal-derived products such as omega-3 fatty acids (OFG) and bee venom components, along with microbial-derived substances like probiotics and fungal metabolites, display notable AI properties. It presents an all-encompassing perspective on the role of natural products in inflammatory pharmacology, scrutinizing their molecular mechanisms, efficacy, and applicability through drug delivery approaches in diverse inflammatory disorders. By synthesizing the latest scientific strides, the article deepens our comprehension of the therapeutic potential of natural products in managing inflammatory conditions through various drug delivery approaches, thereby offering valuable insights for future research and clinical utilization
The Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment: Exploring Fundamental Symmetries of the Universe
The preponderance of matter over antimatter in the early Universe, the
dynamics of the supernova bursts that produced the heavy elements necessary for
life and whether protons eventually decay --- these mysteries at the forefront
of particle physics and astrophysics are key to understanding the early
evolution of our Universe, its current state and its eventual fate. The
Long-Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) represents an extensively developed
plan for a world-class experiment dedicated to addressing these questions. LBNE
is conceived around three central components: (1) a new, high-intensity
neutrino source generated from a megawatt-class proton accelerator at Fermi
National Accelerator Laboratory, (2) a near neutrino detector just downstream
of the source, and (3) a massive liquid argon time-projection chamber deployed
as a far detector deep underground at the Sanford Underground Research
Facility. This facility, located at the site of the former Homestake Mine in
Lead, South Dakota, is approximately 1,300 km from the neutrino source at
Fermilab -- a distance (baseline) that delivers optimal sensitivity to neutrino
charge-parity symmetry violation and mass ordering effects. This ambitious yet
cost-effective design incorporates scalability and flexibility and can
accommodate a variety of upgrades and contributions. With its exceptional
combination of experimental configuration, technical capabilities, and
potential for transformative discoveries, LBNE promises to be a vital facility
for the field of particle physics worldwide, providing physicists from around
the globe with opportunities to collaborate in a twenty to thirty year program
of exciting science. In this document we provide a comprehensive overview of
LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the landscape of neutrino physics
worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate and the capabilities it will
possess.Comment: Major update of previous version. This is the reference document for
LBNE science program and current status. Chapters 1, 3, and 9 provide a
comprehensive overview of LBNE's scientific objectives, its place in the
landscape of neutrino physics worldwide, the technologies it will incorporate
and the capabilities it will possess. 288 pages, 116 figure

Band head spin for triaxial super-deformed bands in
We use VMI model for the prediction of band head spin of Triaxial Super- Deformed (TSD) rotational bands. The calculated and observed transition energies are agreed well when an accurate band head spin (I0) is predicted. The results are in good agreement with the experimentally known values of spin and transition energies. In the present paper, we have reported the band head spin of TSD bands for Lu isotope. This method brings comprehensive interpretation for spin assignment of TSD bands which could help in designing future experiments for these bands. Thus, we have reported the band head spin value of 5 TSD rotational band of Lu isotope
