    ABSTRACT
    Transdermal drug delivery carried out a promising carrier in the transport of drugs to get direct access across the skin deep into the systemic circulation. Transdermal drug delivery have a number of advantages including improved patient compliance, sustained release, avoidance of gastric irritation, as well as elimination of pre-systemic first-pass effect. It gives attraction to many researchers due to various biomedical advantages. Due to the limitation of oral drug delivery system and the pain related with the use of needles in case of injections, drug delivery research has tremendously oriented towards the transdermal route. Delivery of drugs via transdermal route has proved to be the convenient route for various clinical implications. The objective of the present review is to focus on newly innovations in transdermal drug delivery systems which can create a platform for the research and development of pharmaceutical drug dosage form for efficient transdermal delivery. In this review, we tell about different types of microneedles are described and their methods of fabrication. Microneedles can be fabricated in different forms like hollow, solid, and dissolving. There are also hydrogel-forming microneedles.  In relation to hydrogel-forming microneedles, special attention, these are innovative microneedles which does not contain drugs but imbibe interstitial fluid to form continuous conduits between dermal microcirculation and an attached patch-type reservoir. Regulatory authorities approved several microneedles for clinical uses are also examined. The last part of this review discusses concerns and challenges regarding microneedles use.

    ABSTRACT: 
    The thyroid gland produces thyroid hormones. The two most important hormones are tetraiodothyronine (thyroxine or T4) and triiodothyronine (T3).Iodine deficiency is a major health problem in India. Iodine deficiency that can lead to disorders like goiter, hypothyroidism and even brain damage. Even mild iodine deficiency in pregnant women can result in children being born with cretinism and mental retardation. The most popular method of tackling the problem has been to encourage the consumption of iodised salt. An iodine patch, designed like a regular bindi, is expected to help iodine deficiency. It seems like a brilliantly simply idea The wearing of bindis form part of a cultural practice of Indian Women, which are “self-adhesive” in between their eyebrows, have been impregnated with a solution of iodine.  Production costs are minimal, wearing the iodine-infused bindi requires no behavioral change.

    ABSTRACT
    Aging is one of the phases of individual’s life span, which everyone wants to escape. The process of aging is much more a social phenomena than biological phenomena. Aging brings many changes such as, loss of eyesight, hearing loss, dementia, etc. Aging may give rise to diseased states such as, heart disease, cancer, cerebrovascular disease (relating to blood vessels that supply the brain), pneumonia and flu, and chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases. The key-factor behind aging is the GDF11, i.e., Growth and Differentiation factor-11. GDF11 is also known as Bone Morphogenetic Factor-11 (BMP11). It is termed as key circulating ‘anti-aging’ factor. GDF11 is expressed in wide range of tissues and has been shown to play important roles in development of olfactory system, retina and pancreas. It functions in regulating anterior-posterior patterning of the axial skeleton muscle system. Scientists theorize that aging likely results from a combination of many factors viz., Lifestyle, Diseases and Genes. GDF11 is essential for mammalian development and has been suggested to regulate aging of multiple tissues, whereas myostatin is a well-described negative regulator of postnatal skeletal and cardiac muscle mass and modulates metabolic processes .

    ABSTRACT: Design and development of herbal nanoparticles has become a frontier research in the nanoformulation arena. Curcumin, a hydrophobic polyphenol (diferuloyl methane) is a potent phytomolecule obtained from turmeric (Curcuma longa, Family-Zingiberaceae) has a wide range of biological activities in chronic diseases and has wide therapeutic efficacy. But the clinical application of curcumin was limited due to its poor water solubility, rapid metabolism and rapid elimination which ultimately results in poor bioavailability upon oral administration. Therefore introduction of nanotechnology provides a solution towards increased bioavailability of curcumin. In this review, an overview of curcumin nanoparticles is discussed.
