Development of targeted formulations for the delivery of a cytochrome c-based drug for application in cancer therapy
(2021-05-13)
The progression of a cell toward apoptosis, upon cellular stress, is accompanied by a set of characteristic events which includes permeabilization of the mitochondrial outer membrane and release of cytochrome c into the ...
Cross-linked cytochrome c-based nanoparticles for targeted and controlled cancer therapy
(2022-05-06)
Cancer is a major public health problem worldwide and is the second leading cause of death in the United States. The persistent need to develop cancer therapeutics with improved safety and efficacy provides constant fuel ...
Synthesis, characterization and antibacterial properties of pure and Li doped ZnO nanoparticles for alternative water disinfection methods
(2019-07-11)
As a consequence of growing water demand and pollution, water borne disease outbreaks are on the rise and current disinfection methods have shown to be ineffective in inactivating all pathogens during water treatment. Zinc ...
Composition- and size-controlled synthesis of Mn-Zn ferrite nanocrystals for potential magnetocaloric applications
(2008)
There are presently many applications using nanofluids in thermal engineering. Some examples include the use of nanoparticles in conventional coolants to enhance heat transfer rate by increasing its thermal conductivity. ...
Surface characterization of chemically modified electrodes with gold nanoparticles and (His)6-rHbI from Luciana pectinata for H2S Detection
(2019-05-15)
The recombinant polyhistidine-tagged hemoglobin I ((His)6-rHbI) from bivalve Lucina pectinata is an ideal biocomponent for a hydrogen sulfide (H2S) biosensor due to its high affinity for H2S. Nowadays it is clear that H2S ...
Synthesis and characterization of copper nanoparticles: Architectural morphologies and applications in surface enhanced raman spectroscopy
(2009)
The preparation of copper colloidal suspensions was conducted by three different methods. These methods used wet chemical synthesis, in which a metal salt solution was mixed with a solution containing the reducing agent. ...
Synthesis and evaluation of alginate coated magnetite nanoparticles for the removal of dyes from wastewater
(2020-12-11)
The discharge of wastewater from the dyeing industry is an environmental concern across the
world. These effluents are considered highly toxic since they contain high concentrations of synthetic
dyes, which are a great ...
Bisphosphonate-based coordination complexes and immobilization thereof in titanium dioxide nanoparticles
(2022-05-02)
Coordination complexes (CCs), as well as inorganic nanoparticles, present several advantages towards nanotechnology-based cancer therapy applications. Both types of materials provide stability, specificity, low cytotoxicity, ...
