The relationship between noise pollution and cardiovascular diseases: an umbrella review on meta-analyses

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a global health concern, with established risk factors like smoking, hypertension (HTN), diabetes, and dyslipidemia. Emerging evidence suggests that environmental noise resulting from urbanization and industrialization may

Molecular Simulations of Polymer‐based Drug Nanocarriers: From Physical and Structural Properties to Controlled Release

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
Polymer‐based drug delivery systems can effectively overcome the limitations of free drugs in terms of solubility, stability, and plasma half‐life, yet their development has traditionally relied on time‐consuming trial‐and‐error approaches. This review highlights recent advances in applying molecular simulation to the design of polymer‐based drug ...
