Beyond Beauty: Microalgae and Cyanobacteria as Next-Generation Platforms for Functional Dermocosmetics, Cutaneous Delivery, and Skin Health

Microalgae and cyanobacteria are valuable sources of bioactive ingredients and innovative biological systems for skin applications. Their metabolites include exopolysaccharides (EPS), mycosporine-like amino acids (MAAs), carotenoids, phycobiliproteins, peptides and lipopeptides,...

Celastrol and Its Derivatives in Breast, Ovarian, and Cervical Cancer: Molecular Targets, Signalling Networks, and Nanocarrier-Based Delivery

Celastrol, a quinone methide pentacyclic triterpenoid obtained mainly from the roots of Tripterygium wilfordii Hook. f., forms covalent, often reversible, adducts with cysteine thiols in regulatory proteins, which underlies its multi-targeted action. This review summarises the pr...
