AbstractParkinsons disease is one of the neuropathies characterized by accumulation of alpha-synuclein protein, leading to motor dysfunction. Levodopa is the gold standard treatment, however, in long term usage, it leads to levodopa induced dyskinesia (LID). New therapeutic options are need of the hour to treat the alpha-synuclein based neuropathies. The role of imbalance of neurotransmitters other than dopamine has been underestimated in alpha-synuclein based neuropathies.

AbstractCancer is a complex disease, with multiple treatment modalities, but no definitive cure. The tumor microenvironment contributes to the complexity of the disease by forming a niche of multiple cell types supporting each other to carry out various cellular functions. Tumor associated macrophages are one such kind of cells which support the tumor microenvironment via immunosuppression. DNA tetrahedron (TD), a widely explored DNA nanocage, has shown a lot of potential in therapeutics.
