Phytotherapeutic agents - bioactive compounds derived from plants - have long been used in traditional and modern medicine due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and therapeutic properties. However, despite their benefits, there is growing concern regar...

Obesity-associated inflammation is a central driver of metabolic dysfunction, contributing to insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. This chronic low-grade inflammatory state originates primarily fr...
2026 | NEWPORT INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF BIOLOGICAL AND APPLIED SCIENCES (NIJBAS) | Pp. 30-35
Chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes mellitus, chronic kidney disease, neurodegenerative disorders, and chronic inflammatory conditions share a common pathological thread: systemic redox imbalance. This imbalance reflects a disruption bet...

Multidrug resistance (MDR) remains one of the most formidable barriers to successful chemotherapy in solid tumors, accounting for the failure of many otherwise potent anticancer agents. MDR arises from a complex interplay of cellular, molecular, and microenvi...
