The photocatalytic field revolves around the utilization of photon energy to initiate various chemical reactions using non-adsorbing substrates, through processes such as single electron transfer, energy transfer, or atom transfer.

The meaning of gene therapy is the delivery of DNA or RNA to cells for the treatment or prevention of genetic disorders. The success rate of gene therapy depends on the progression and safe gene delivery system. The vectors available for gene therapy are divided into viral and non-viral systems. Viral vectors cause higher transmission efficiency and long gene expression, but they have major problems, such as immunogenicity, carcinogenicity, the inability to transfer large size genes and high costs. Non-viral gene transfer vectors have attracted more attention because they exhibit less toxicity and the ability to transfer large size genes. However, the clinical application of non-viral methods still faces some limitations, including low transmission efficiency and poor gene expression. In recent years, numerous methods and gene-carriers have been developed to improve gene transfer efficiency. The use of Polyethylenimine (PEI) based transfer of collaboration may create a new way of treating diseases and the combination of chemotherapy and gene therapy. The purpose of this paper is to introduce the PEI as an appropriate vector for the effective gene delivery.

(S)-Proline has been used as a mild, efficient and neutral catalyst for synthesis of various 4H-benzo[b]pyran derivatives via a one-pot three-component condensation of aromatic aldehydes, ­active methylene compounds, and dimedone in aqueous media. This method offers the advantages of proceeding and neutral and mild conditions, giving high to excellent yields of the products and simple workup.

Over the last few years, progress has been made across the nanomedicine landscape, in particular, the invention of contemporary nanostructures for cancer diagnosis and overcoming complexities in the clinical treatment of cancerous tissues. Thanks to their small diameter and large surface-to-volume proportions, nanomaterials have special physicochemical properties that empower them to bind, absorb and transport high-efficiency substances, such as small molecular drugs, DNA, proteins, RNAs, and probes. They also have excellent durability, high carrier potential, the ability to integrate both hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds, and compatibility with various transport routes, making them especially appealing over a wide range of oncology fields. This is also due to their configurable scale, structure, and surface properties. This review paper discusses how nanostructures can function as therapeutic vectors to enhance the therapeutic value of molecules; how nanomaterials can be used as medicinal products in gene therapy, photodynamics, and thermal treatment; and finally, the application of nanomaterials in the form of molecular imaging agents to diagnose and map tumor growth.
