Important Guide for Natural Compounds Inclusion in Precision Medicine

Received: 25 April 2024;  Published: 06 December 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2404273

Abstract

Precision medicine describes the definition of disease at a higher resolution by genomic and other technologies to enable more precise targeting of disease subgroups with new therapies. Preventative or therapeutic interventions can be developed with the knowledge of how a compound acts safely in the body to target receptors and produce the desirable effect.

Exploring Multitargets Treatment for Diabetes

Received: 17 February 2024;  Published: 30 July 2024;  doi: 10.21926/obm.genet.2403254

Abstract

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a degenerative disease that modifies the body’s glucose metabolism. Although glucose is a vital energy source for body cells, individuals with diabetes can either not use insulin efficiently or do not create enough of this hormone, which controls blood sugar. This review aimed to explore the multi-target treatment for diabetes. This study investigates explicitly recent reports published in peer-reviewed journals indexed in various databases, including Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, Google [...]

Transforming Community Strategy from Population Health to Quality Aging — The Role of Digital Technologies

Received: 03 March 2025;  Published: 11 August 2025;  doi: 10.21926/obm.geriatr.2503321

Abstract

Aging is a multifaceted journey shaped by diverse life-course experiences, which contribute both to the challenges populations face in achieving their health goals and to the competencies they can bring to sustain health and aging. Community strategies designed to support population health—by leveraging technology and external partners—require transformation to effectively extend their focus to aging-related goals. In this paper, we adopt a service lens to examine how these community strategies, which co-produce pr [...]

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Microplastic Pollution Studies and Management

Received: 16 November 2025;  Published: 19 November 2025;  doi: 10.21926/rpse.2504016

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is reshaping microplastic research by enabling faster, more accurate, and scalable detection, characterization, and modeling. Deep learning automates the identification and classification of microplastics from microscopy images, while machine learning accelerates the recognition of polymers from Raman and infrared spectra. AI-based clustering and segmentation improve the analysis of complex samples, and source-apportionment models learn morphological and chemical features to trace emiss [...]
