Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2026
Background The cribriform plate is a crucial small bony structure in the anterior cranial fossa that plays a key role in surgical procedures and forensic identification. Despite its importance in olfaction, there is limited research on its morphological, morphometrical variations and sexual dimorphism in African populations, prompting a study to investigate these aspects in a selected KwaZulu-Natal population. Methods Fifty-five (55) CT scans of the cribriform plate were assessed from the axial and coronal views. Morphology of the cribriform plate was recorded based on the Kawahara method, morphometry and related structures of the cribriform plate were investigated to identify any sexual dimorphism. Result Type IV plates were most common in males, while Types I and II dominated among females. Males generally had larger measurements, though females showed longer and deeper right-sided plates. The anterior ethmoidal artery (AEA) was typically located below the skull base in both sexes. The teardrop type of crista galli was most common type in both sexes. Keros Type II was most prevalent in both sexes. On both sides of both sexes, the AEA was commonly located below the skull base. Ethnic differences showed Black individuals had longer right-sided plates, while White females had greater width and depth. Conclusions This study found no statistically significant differences in the morphology and morphometry of the cribriform plate within the KwaZulu-Natal population. However, the observed variations may have clinical implications for surgical planning, particularly in procedures involving the anterior skull base.
Exploring the role of medicinal plants and nanotechnology in the management of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS): a scoping review

Naunyn Schmiedeberg S Archives of Pharmacology, 2026
Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is a complex endocrine disorder characterized by heterogeneous symptoms and is commonly managed with conventional medications that often exhibit variable efficacy and undesirable side effects. Given these limitations, nanotechnology, particularly plant-derived metallic nanoparticles, offers novel strategies to enhance phytochemical delivery, stability, and bioavailability. Accordingly, this scoping review synthesizes preclinical evidence (2015–2025) on plant-derived metallic nanoparticles for PCOS, evaluating therapeutic outcomes, safety, and mechanisms. In line with PRISMA-ScR guidance, records were identified from PubMed, Scopus, and ScienceDirect ( n = 375), duplicates were removed ( n = 51), and 324 records underwent screening. Three hundred twenty records were excluded based on title/abstract screening, and 4 reports were retrieved from databases for eligibility assessment. Together with 1 additional study from Google Scholar, 5 rodent studies were included. Reporting quality and risk of bias were assessed descriptively using selected ARRIVE- and SYRCLE-based domains. Overall, the included studies evaluated cinnamon -derived silver nanoparticles, selenium nanoparticles synthesized using Corchorus olitorius , silver nanoparticles synthesized from aqueous extract of fresh asparagus stems, and silver nanoparticles prepared using fenugreek aqueous extract. Across the included studies, these interventions normalized reproductive hormones, restored estrous cyclicity and fertility, reduced ovarian cystic changes, and lowered inflammatory markers (TNF-α, IL-6, IL-10, IL-17, IL-18) without observable toxicity. Nevertheless, clinical translation remains pending due to the absence of long-term safety data and well-structured human clinical trials. Future research should prioritize mechanistic validation, long-term toxicological assessment, formulation standardization, and rigorously designed clinical trials.

Journal of Neurochemistry, 2025
The field of Neurochemistry spent decades trying to understand how the brain works, from nano to macroscale and across diverse species. Technological advancements over the years allowed researchers to better visualize and understand the cellular processes underpinning central nervous system (CNS) function. This review provides an overview of how novel models, and tools have allowed Neurochemistry researchers to investigate new and exciting research questions. We discuss the merits and demerits of different in vivo models (e.g., Caenorhabditis elegans, Drosophila melanogaster, Ratus norvegicus, and Mus musculus) as well as in vitro models (e.g., primary cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, and immortalized cells) to study Neurochemical events. We also discuss how these models can be paired with cutting‐edge genetic manipulation (e.g., CRISPR‐Cas9 and engineered viral vectors) and imaging techniques, such as super‐resolution microscopy and new biosensors, to study cellular processes of the CNS. These technological advancements provide new insight into Neurochemical events in physiological and pathological contexts, paving the way for the development of new treatments (e.g., cell and gene therapies or small molecules) that aim to treat neurological disorders by reverting the CNS to its homeostatic state.image

Discover Nano, 2024
Background Nanoparticle-based drugs are new inventions in the management of the Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) pandemic, especially resistant forms of the virus in anatomical sanctuary sites and organs such as the testis. However, safety issues must be resolved to attain the optimal potential of newer nano-drug formulations. Aim The study investigated the toxicological potential of synthesized Tenofovir Nanoparticles (TDF-N) on testicular indices when used for the prevention and treatment of HIV. Methodology Fifteen male Sprague–Dawley (SD) rats with weight ranging from 230 g to 250 g were randomly assigned into groups A (control, saline), B (TDF), and C (TDF-N). The testes were removed for sperm analysis and processed for H/E and PAS stains. Cell counts and cellular measurements; the diameter and the area of the testicular seminiferous tubules were measured using ImageJ and Leica software 2.0. Results A significant reduction (p < 0.05) in sperm count was noticed in the TDF-N group. Also observed in the TDF and TDF-N groups was a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in sperm motility and in the number of dead sperms compared with the control. Sperm abnormalities such as distorted basement membranes, loss of germ cells, hypocellular interstitium, and loss of spermatogenic series were increased in the TDF and TDF-N groups. There was also a significant reduction (p < 0.05) in the cell count, diameter, and area of seminiferous tubules observed in these groups. Conclusion TDF and TDF-N may be detrimental to the testis and testicular tissue, leading to significantly reduced sperm counts, motility, and ultimately–male fertility.

Adverse complications like metabolic disorders, neurotoxicity, and low central nervous system (CNS) penetration are associated with the long-term use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF). Therefore, some modifications are required to enhance neurological functions using silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). This study aimed to evaluate the neuroprotective impact of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs)-conjugated TDF as AgNPs-TDF on the hippocampal microanatomy and some neuro-biomarkers of diabetic rats. Forty-two male Sprague-Dawley rats, with an average weight of 250 ± 13 g, were divided into non-diabetic and diabetic groups. They were further divided into 3 groups each (n = 7): non-diabetic control (NC), non-diabetic + TDF (NTF), and non-diabetic + TDF + silver nanoparticles (NTS), as well as diabetic control (DC), diabetic + TDF (DTF), and diabetic + TDF + silver nanoparticles (DTS). The characterization of AgNPs-TDF was assessed, and the conjugates were administered to the diabetic rats, followed by behavioral testing and biochemical, immunohistochemical, and microanatomy analyses of the hippocampus. The results showed that the administration of AgNPs-TDF significantly reduced the blood glucose level, malondialdehyde (MDA), and inflammatory biomarker concentrations in DTS compared with the DTF and DC groups. Furthermore, AgNPs-TDF administration significantly increased the levels of tissue superoxide dismutase (SOD), reduced glutathione (GSH), and insulin-like growth factor-1 in DTS compared with the DTF and DC groups. In addition, the DTS group revealed a monomorphic pattern of dark-stained neuronal nuclei similar to the control group and showed neuroprotective effects on hippocampal microanatomy compared with the DTF group. This study shows that AgNPs-TDF restores various alterations in the hippocampus and improves cognitive functions in diabetic rats.
