    In recent years, the utilization of nanoparticles has proliferated across a wide spectrum of clinical domains. Nanoparticles have been engineered to surmount the constraints associated with free therapeutics and negotiate biological barriers—systemic, microenvironmental, and cellular—that exhibit heterogeneity across diverse patient cohorts and diseases. Mitigating this patient heterogeneity has also been facilitated through precision therapeutics, where tailored interventions have augmented therapeutic effectiveness. Nonetheless, current nanoparticle development predominantly emphasizes the refinement of delivery platforms with a uniform approach. As lipid-based, polymeric, and inorganic nanoparticles undergo increasingly nuanced engineering, there arises the potential for tailoring them to drug delivery in a more personalized manner, ushering in the era of precision medicine. In this Review, we deliberate on sophisticated nanoparticle designs employed in both generalized and precision applications, offering insights into their potential for enhancing precision therapies. We concentrate on advancements in nanoparticle design that surmount heterogeneous barriers to delivery, positing that intelligent nanoparticle design can enhance efficacy in broad delivery applications while facilitating customized designs for precision applications, thereby ultimately enhancing overall patient outcomes

    Diving into the Depths of Belladonna: Uncovering the Secrets of the Deadly Nightshade

    Get PDF
    Tropane alkaloids, such as hyoscyamine and scopolamine, are vital medicinal compounds found in various therapeutic formulations. These alkaloids are synthesized within the roots of specific genera of the Solanaceae family through a complex, partially understood multistep pathway. In efforts to deepen our comprehension of tropane alkaloid biosynthesis, a novel de novo transcriptome assembly was crafted for Deadly Nightshade (Atropa belladonna). A crucial intermediate in the biosynthesis of hyoscyamine and scopolamine is littorine, formed by the condensation of tropine and phenyllactic acid. Phenyllactic acid originates from phenylalanine through transamination to phenylpyruvate. Through transcriptome analysis, a distinct aromatic amino acid aminotransferase (ArAT), designated Ab-ArAT4, was identified. This enzyme coexists with known tropane alkaloid biosynthesis genes in the roots of A. belladonna. Silencing Ab-ArAT4 resulted in diminished synthesis of hyoscyamine and scopolamine due to reduced phenyllactic acid levels. In vitro studies revealed that recombinant Ab-ArAT4 primarily catalyzes the initial step of phenyllactic acid synthesis: the transamination of phenylalanine to phenylpyruvate

    In this article, we present a hybrid quantum-classical generative adversarial network (GAN) for near-term quantum processors. The hybrid GAN comprises a generator and a discriminator quantum neural network (QNN). The generator network is realized using an angle encoding quantum circuit and a variational quantum ansatz. The discriminator network is realized using multi-stage trainable encoding quantum circuits. A modular design approach is proposed for the QNNs which enables control on their depth to compromise between accuracy and circuit complexity. Gradient of the loss functions for the generator and discriminator networks are derived using the same quantum circuits used for their implementation. This prevents the need for extra quantum circuits or auxiliary qubits. The quantum simulations are performed using the IBM Qiskit open-source software development kit (SDK), while the training of the hybrid quantum-classical GAN is conducted using the mini-batch stochastic gradient descent (SGD) optimization on a classic computer. The hybrid quantum-classical GAN is implemented using a two-qubit system with different discriminator network structures. The hybrid GAN realized using a five-stage discriminator network, comprises 63 quantum gates and 31 trainable parameters, and achieves the Kullback-Leibler (KL) and the Jensen-Shannon (JS) divergence scores of 0.39 and 4.16, respectively, for similarity between the real and generated data distributions

    Let R be a commutative ring with identity, M an R-module and K1, . . . , Kn submodules of M. In this article, we construct an algebraic object, called product of K1, . . . , Kn. We equipped this structure with appropriate operations to get an R(M)-module. It is shown that R(M)-module Mⁿ = M . . . M and R-module M inherit some of the most important properties of each other. For example, we show that M is a projective (flat) R-module if and only if Mⁿ is a projective (flat) R(M)-moduleПрипустимо, що R — комутативне кiльце з одиницею, M — R-модуль i K1, . . . , Kn — пiдмодулi M. Побудовано алгебраїчний об’єкт, що називається добутком пiдмодулiв K1, . . . , Kn. Цю структуру оснащено вiдповiдними операцiями для отримання R(M)-модуля. Показано, що R(M)-модуль Mⁿ = M . . . M та R-модуль M успадковують деякi з найбiльш важливих властивостей один одного. Наприклад, показано, що M є проективним (плоским) R-модулем тодi i тiльки тодi, коли Mⁿ — проективний (плоский) R(M)-модуль
