Micro/Nanorobots for Combating Brain Disorders: Challenges, Advances, and Perspectives

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 44, November 27, 2025.
Micro/nanorobots (MNRs) offer a transformative approach for precision therapy in brain disorders. By overcoming biological barriers and enabling controlled propulsion, targeted delivery, and real‐time imaging/tracking, MNRs pave the way toward effective, minimally invasive treatments. This review outlines the interplay between brain disease challenges,

The Effect of Climate Change on Emergence and Evolution of Zoonotic Diseases in Asia

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 587-611, November 2025.
ABSTRACT As the climate of Asia changes under the influence of global warming, the incidence and spatial distribution of known zoonoses will evolve, and new zoonoses are expected to emerge as a result of greater exposure to organisms which currently occur only in wildlife.

Clinical Infectious Diseases, 2019
Background Albendazole is the drug of choice for the treatment of parenchymal neurocysticercosis, although its efficacy is suboptimal. Plasma levels of albendazole sulfoxide (ASOX), the active metabolite of albendazole, are highly variable among patients.
