Keratin-polyethylene oxide bio-nanocomposites reinforced with ultrasonically functionalized graphene
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015)
Polyethylene oxide (PEO) functionalized graphene (f-G) was prepared by ultrasonication of pristine graphene in PEO aqueous solution. The feasible sonication protocol of PEO degradation and graphene functionalization enabled ...
Conformational stability of 5-substituted orotic acid derivatives analyzed by measuring C-13 NMR chemical shifts and applying linear free energy relationships
(Elsevier, Amsterdam, 2019)
Conformational stability of various 5-substituted orotic acid derivatives was studied by applying linear free energy relationships (LFER) to the C-13 NMR chemical shifts. The correlation analysis for the substituent-induced ...
Preparation and modeling of three-layered PCL/PLGA/PCL fibrous scaffolds for prolonged drug release
(Nature Publishing Group, London, 2020)
The authors present the preparation procedure and a computational model of a three-layered fibrous scaffold for prolonged drug release. The scaffold, produced by emulsion/sequential electrospinning, consists of a ...
Upregulation of Heme Oxygenase-1 in Response to Wild Thyme Treatment Protects against Hypertension and Oxidative Stress
(Hindawi Ltd, London, 2016)
High blood pressure is the most powerful contributor to the cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, and inverse correlation between consumption of polyphenol-rich foods or beverages and incidence of cardiovascular diseases ...
Technologically Sustainable Route for Metals Valorization from Jarosite-PbAg Sludge
(Minerals, 2021)
By-products from zinc hydrometallurgy are classified as hazardous waste with strong leaching toxicities. Even though numerous research papers are dedicated to valorizing valuable metals in it, the primary management route ...
Colonic microbiota signatures across five northern European countries
(Amer Soc Microbiology, Washington, 2005)
The composition of the colonic microbiota of 91 northern Europeans was characterized by fluorescent in situ hybridization using 18 phylogenetic probes. On average 75% of the bacteria were identified, and large interindividual ...
Glass transition and polymer dynamics in silver/poly(methyl methacrylate) nanocomposites
(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, Oxford, 2011)
Dynamic mechanical-thermal analysis (DMTA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermally stimulated depolarization currents (TSDC) and, mainly, broadband dielectric relaxation spectroscopy (DRS) were employed to ...
Semi-Crystalline Copolymer Hydrogels as Smart Drug Carriers: In Vitro Thermo-Responsive Naproxen Release Study
(Pharmaceutics, 2021)
In this study, poly(N-isopropylacrylamide-co-2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate) hydrogels were synthesized using free radical initiated copolymerization method. Four hydrogels with different cross-linker concentrations were ...
NIR photo-driven upconversion in NaYF4:Yb,Er/PLGA particles for in vitro bioimaging of cancer cells
(Elsevier Science Bv, Amsterdam, 2018)
Lanthanide-doped fluoride up-converting nanoparticles (UCNPs) represent the new class of imaging contrast agents which hold great potential for overcoming existing problems associated with traditionally used dyes, proteins ...
Cardiac tissue engineering: effects of bioreactor flow environment on tissue constructs
(Wiley, Hoboken, 2006)
The limited ability of cardiac muscle to regenerate after injury and the small number of organs available for transplantation motivate studies aimed at curative treatment options. Tissue engineering based on the integrated ...
