Anti-inflammatory activity of curcumin-loaded tetrahedral framework nucleic acids on acute gouty arthritis

Mei Zhang et al.

Summary: Gouty arthritis is a common inflammatory arthritis, and controlling inflammation is crucial for prevention. Scientists have synthesized a new material called Cur-TFNAs to enhance the effectiveness and bioavailability of curcumin, a natural anti-inflammatory drug. Cur-TFNAs showed better anti-inflammatory effects in in vivo and in vitro experiments compared with free curcumin.

Treating LRRK2-Related Parkinson's Disease by Inhibiting the mTOR Signaling Pathway to Restore Autophagy

Weitong Cui et al.

Summary: Vitamin B12 is a promising therapeutic option for Parkinson's disease (PD) due to its ability to inhibit LRRK2 activity, but its therapeutic effects are limited by transporter dependence and low brain tissue utilization. Researchers have synthesized VB12-loaded tetrahedral framework nucleic acid (TVC), which has shown to provide better recovery of autophagy and improvement of symptoms in PD models, indicating broad therapeutic potential for PD and similar neurodegenerative diseases.
