Abstract
Front Cover: Natural anti-tumor agents are highly regarded for their low cytotoxicity towards healthy cells. However, their relatively short systematic half-life and low bioavailability impose hurdles for clinical application. This study introduces a strategy to surmount these obstacles by developing a drug delivery system employing biopolymeric emulsion techniques to optimize the therapeutic efficacy of a natural anti-tumor agent, betulinic acid. More details can be found in article 2400283 by Bathabile Ramalapa, Suprakas Sinha Ray, and co-workers. Suprakas Sinha Ray designed the cover art in collaboration with the team at INMYWORK Studio.
