New drug therapy for eye diseases
Eyesight is one of the most critical senses, accounting for over 80% of our perceptions. Our quality of life might be significantly affected by eye disease, including glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, dry eye, etc. Although the development of microinvasive ocular surgery reduces surgical complications and improves overall outcomes, medication therapy is still an important strategy for many eye diseases, especially for the early stage of glaucoma, dry eye, and thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy. In recent decades, gene editing... see more
Therapeutic Chemical and RNA Design with Artificial Intelligence
Computer-Aided Drug Design (CADD) has emerged as a fundamental component of modern drug discovery. Molecular docking facilitates virtual screening on a large scale through structural simulations. However, traditional CADD approaches face significant limitations, as they can only screen known compounds from existing libraries. PubChem, as the most widely used chemical database, provides data on approximately 119 million compounds from 1,005 data sources (as of August 2024). Nevertheless, it is estimated that the pool of drug-like... see more
Drug-Targeted Approach with Polymer Nanocomposites for Improved Therapeutics
Polymer nanocomposites have been recognized as an advanced and cutting-edge technique in drug targeting administration. These materials combine the unique features of nanoparticles with the adaptability of polymers to produce highly personalized drug administration devices. Integrating nanoparticles containing pharmaceuticals into a polymer matrix enables researchers to regulate the rates at which drugs are released, enhance the bioavailability of medicines, and selectively target particular cells or tissues. Consequently, this approach enhances the therapeutic effectiveness of pharmaceutical... see more
