Artificial Intelligence and Quantum Dots: Design, Optimization, and Applications
type: item
description: Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionised the production of Quantum Dots (QDs), providing solutions to problems such as variability in the materials used to produce QDs, toxicity from elements such as Lead and Cadmium, and the short lifetime of QDs. AI and Machine Learning (ML) provide the opportunity to improve the reverse engineering of QDs and batch production of QDs, which has decreased the number of experimental trials needed to develop QDs, especially for mass production, by more than 90%. The types of algorithms used in this process include Random Forest, Support Vector Regression (SVR), Graph Neural Networks, and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). These algorithms aid in predicting attributes such as Bandgap and Quantum Yield and developing alternative non-toxic materials used to create QDs. Furthermore, AI can be integrated into automated synthesis platforms, such as Microfluidics, to allow for QDs to be produced continuously in real-time with uniform properties throughout the production cycle. AI also uses computer vision techniques for the measurement of QD size and defects to reduce production errors and increase manufacturing throughput. In the area of biomedicine, AI provides the potential to create QDs that facilitate drug delivery and imaging, thus providing safer, less toxic alternatives. Future advancements in QD technology may include concepts such as digital twins, reinforcement learning, and explainable AI.

Transcriptomic Signatures of Chemoprevention: RNA-seq Insights from Carcinogen-Induced Animal Models
type: item
description: Cancer chemoprevention represents a critical strategy for reducing cancer incidence through the prevention, delay, or suppression of tumor development using bioactive agents. High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) technology has revolutionized our ability to characterize transcriptomic signatures associated with carcinogen-induced transformation and chemoprevention in animal models. This review synthesizes current knowledge on how RNA-seq-derived transcriptomic profiling from carcinogen-induced animal models reveals molecular mechanisms of chemoprevention, identifies predictive biomarkers, and enables the discovery of novel therapeutic targets. We examine established animal models including the DMBA/TPA mouse skin carcinogenesis model, 4NQO-induced oral carcinogenesis, and benzo(a)pyrene exposure systems, alongside state-of-the-art RNA-seq methodologies for differential gene expression analysis, pathway enrichment, and functional annotation. Particular emphasis is placed on phytochemical chemopreventive agents including sulforaphane, curcumin, and ursolic acid, their mechanisms of action at the transcriptomic level, and the identification of key molecular pathways including NRF2-ARE antioxidant signaling, NF-κB inflammatory pathways, MAPK/ERK cascades, and apoptotic regulatory mechanisms. We discuss advanced computational approaches including weighted gene co-expression network analysis (WGCNA), machine learning classifiers, and single-cell RNA-seq for unraveling tumor microenvironment dynamics. Finally, we address challenges in translating transcriptomic discoveries from animal models to clinical biomarker development, quality control considerations, and future perspectives for precision cancer prevention.

RNA-seq–Based Mechanistic Evaluation of Phytochemicals and Small Molecules in Experimental Cancer Models
type: item
description: High-throughput RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has emerged as a powerful tool for deciphering the molecular mechanisms underlying phytochemical and small molecule-mediated cancer suppression. This comprehensive review synthesizes current knowledge on integrating RNA-seq-derived transcriptomic analysis with mechanistic evaluation of phytochemical and synthetic compound effects on apoptosis, inflammation, oxidative stress, and epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in experimental cancer models. We examine how transcriptomic profiling links gene expression changes to known biochemical and cellular mechanisms of action, with particular emphasis on major phytochemicals including curcumin, resveratrol, and sulforaphane. Integration of pathway enrichment analyses using KEGG (Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes) and Gene Ontology (GO) databases enables systematic identification of affected molecular pathways and biological processes. We discuss methodological approaches for connecting RNA-seq signatures to functional phenotypes, validation strategies for mechanistic hypotheses, and challenges in translating transcriptomic findings to therapeutic development. The review emphasizes how multi-level transcriptomic analysis encompassing individual gene expression, pathway enrichment, gene co-expression networks, and temporal dynamics provides comprehensive mechanistic insights superior to single-methodology approaches. Finally, we address future directions including integration of multi-omics data, spatial transcriptomics for tumor microenvironment characterization, and machine learning approaches for signature discovery and mechanism prediction.

Dose-Dependent Transcriptomic Responses to Chemopreventive Agents in Rodent Cancer Models
type: item
description: The efficacy of cancer chemopreventive agents depends critically on dose, yet the mechanistic relationship between concentration and transcriptomic response remains incompletely characterized. This comprehensive review synthesizes current knowledge on dose-dependent transcriptomic responses to chemopreventive agents in rodent cancer models, examining how RNA-seq-derived gene expression patterns change across concentration ranges. We examine biphasic and hormetic dose-response curves, the concept of transcriptomic points of departure (tPOD), and benchmark dose (BMD) modeling approaches for identifying threshold doses. Particular emphasis is placed on phytochemical agents including sulforaphane, resveratrol, and garlic-derived organosulfur compounds, as well as synthetic chemopreventive agents evaluated in carcinogen-induced models including DMBA/TPA-initiated skin carcinogenesis, 4NQO-induced oral carcinogenesis, and lung adenocarcinoma models. The review discusses how dose-dependent transcriptomic analysis reveals threshold effects for pathway activation, identifies optimal dose ranges for chemoprevention efficacy, and establishes molecular mechanisms underlying dose escalation and dose-limiting toxicity. Critical considerations including sample size requirements, dose spacing strategies, statistical modeling approaches, and mechanistic interpretation of nonlinear dose-response relationships are addressed. Finally, we discuss applications of dose-response transcriptomics to personalized chemoprevention strategies and regulatory safety assessment based on transcriptomic points of departure.

Comparative RNA-seq Analysis of Single Compounds versus Polyherbal Formulations in Cancer Prevention
type: item
description: Cancer prevention through dietary and botanical interventions relies increasingly on multicomponent polyherbal formulations rather than individual phytochemicals, yet mechanistic comparisons remain limited. This comprehensive review synthesizes current knowledge on transcriptomic analysis comparing single compounds versus polyherbal formulations in cancer prevention models, emphasizing synergistic versus antagonistic gene regulation at the network level. We examine how RNA-seq reveals coordinated transcriptional changes across broader pathways in polyherbal preparations compared to single compound treatments, identify molecular mechanisms underlying synergy and antagonism, and discuss network pharmacology approaches for rationalizing herb combinations. Particular emphasis is placed on traditional polyherbal formulations including Ayurvedic preparations (Triphala, Kanchnar guggulu), Chinese herbal medicines, and novel phytochemical combinations demonstrating enhanced efficacy. The review discusses Bliss independence and Loewe additivity models for quantifying synergy at the transcriptomic level, cellular and molecular context dependence of synergistic responses, and how single compounds often demonstrate antagonistic interactions with conventional chemotherapy while polyherbal formulations bypass such antagonism through alternative pathway engagement. Critical challenges in standardization, regulatory approval, and post-marketing surveillance of polyherbal formulations are addressed, alongside future perspectives for rational polypharmacy design and personalized combination approaches based on individual transcriptomic profiles.

From Bench to Biomarkers: RNA-seq-Driven Discovery of Chemoprevention Biomarkers in Animal Models
type: item
description: The successful clinical development of cancer chemopreventive agents critically depends on mechanistic understanding and accompanying pharmacodynamic (PD) biomarkers providing early readouts of biological activity in target tissues and circulation. RNA sequencing (RNA-seq) has revolutionized biomarker discovery in preclinical cancer chemoprevention models, enabling unbiased transcriptomic analysis identifying mechanism-informed molecular signatures substantially more sensitive than traditional phenotypic endpoints. This comprehensive review synthesizes knowledge on RNA-seq-driven biomarker discovery in animal models for cancer prevention, emphasizing translational validation strategies bridging bench to clinic. We examine cross-species conservation of transcriptomic signatures derived from rodent chemoprevention models to human disease, discuss practical validation methodologies including quantitative PCR (qPCR), immunohistochemistry (IHC), and emerging liquid biopsy approaches, and address critical challenges in establishing clinical relevance of preclinically discovered biomarkers. Specific emphasis is placed on tissue versus circulating biomarkers, temporal dynamics of biomarker changes during prevention interventions, context-dependent biomarker effectiveness, and integration of tumor microenvironment factors influencing biomarker interpretation. Case studies demonstrate successful biomarker translation including withaferin A-induced p21 expression, oral squamous cell carcinoma transcriptional signatures predicting metastatic risk, and circulating nucleic acid biomarkers for non-invasive cancer monitoring. The review discusses FDA biomarker qualification processes, window-of-opportunity clinical trial designs leveraging preclinical insights, and emerging machine learning approaches for biomarker interpretation and patient stratification in prevention trials.

description: Limonene-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) represent a promising approach in combating Candida albicans, a pathogenic yeast responsible for a wide range of infections. Limonene, a natural monoterpene found in citrus oils, exhibits potent antifungal activity, particularly against Candida albicans, a major cause of fungal infections in immunocompromised individuals. Preformulation studies confirmed the identity, purity, and compatibility of the drug with selected excipients. Based on solubility screening, Glyceryl monostearate (GMS) and oleic acid were selected as lipid phases, while Tween 20 and Span 60 served as surfactants. The SLNs were prepared using the high-pressure homogenization technique and optimized via a 2² factorial design using Design Expert® software. In vitro release of limonene from gel was studied using a Franz diffusion cell method, and the recovered samples were analyzed using UV spectroscopy at 280 nm wavelength. The optimized formulation showed favorable particle size, zeta potential, and high entrapment efficiency, indicating good stability and nano-size range. Antifungal activity studies comparing placebo SLNs and limonene-loaded SLNs revealed that the latter exhibited good antifungal activity and efficient diffusion out of the lipid matrix. Limonene-loaded SLNs demonstrated strong potential as an antifungal formulation against Candida albicans. However, regulatory and reproducibility concerns remain due to the complexity of the formulation and lack of standardized testing methods. Addressing these challenges requires careful optimization of formulation components, manufacturing processes, and quality control protocols.

type: item
description: The convergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and epitranscriptomics is redefining the future landscape of therapeutic innovation by transforming how RNA modifications are decoded, interpreted, and targeted for drug discovery. Epitranscriptomic marks such as m⁶A, m⁵C, Ψ, and ac⁴C form a dynamic biochemical “RNA language” that governs transcript stability, translation, and cellular fate, yet their complexity has historically remained inaccessible to conventional molecular tools. Advanced AI frameworks—ranging from transformer-driven modification callers to generative deep-learning engines—now enable real-time identification of rare and cryptic RNA marks directly from raw nanopore signals, uncovering disease-specific epicode signatures with unprecedented resolution. These computational models further predict structural consequences of modified RNA, simulate RNA–drug interactions, and design precision inhibitors for writers, readers, and erasers such as METTL3, FTO, and YTH-domain proteins. AI-guided CRISPR–Cas13 epitranscriptome editing expands therapeutic possibilities by enabling reversible, non-genomic correction of pathogenic RNA modification patterns. Collectively, these innovations are propelling RNA-centric pharmacology beyond traditional genomics, establishing modification-aware digital RNA twins, autonomous RNA drug-design pipelines, and personalized epitranscriptomic therapies. This review synthesizes emerging breakthroughs, ongoing challenges, ethical considerations, and future directions that position AI-driven epitranscriptomic therapeutics as a transformative axis in next-generation drug discovery and precision medicine.
