Silver nanoparticle impregnated chitosan-PEG hydrogel enhances wound healing in diabetes induced rabbits
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Non-healing wounds are among the serious complications of type-2-diabetes around the globe, associated with high incidence of bacterial infection, chronic nerve and blood vessel damage, and eventually repeated amputation ...
Albumin binding, antioxidant and antibacterial effects of cerium oxide nanoparticles
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, the interaction of CeO2 NPs with HSA was explored by fluorescence, CD, UV–vis and molecular docking studies. Afterwards, the antioxidant activity of CeO2 NPs against H2O2-induced oxidative stress in BM-MSCs were ...
The effect of aluminum oxide on red blood cell integrity and hemoglobin structure at nanoscale
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Herein, we explored the interaction of Al2O3 NPs with RBCs and Hb to determine the effect of Al2O3 NPs on hemolytic activity and Hb denaturation. The percentage of hemolysis of extracts and direct contact assays triggered ...
Nitric oxide releasing chitosan-poly (vinyl alcohol) hydrogel promotes angiogenesis in chick embryo model
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
The lack of angiogenic activity is one of the serious complications of chronic wounds associated with delayed wound closure, chronic ulceration, and subsequent limb amputation. Multiple lines of evidence suggest that nitric ...
In vitro models and systems for evaluating the dynamics of drug delivery to the healthy and diseased brain
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article Review)
The blood-brain barrier (BBB) plays a crucial role in maintaining brain homeostasis and transport of drugs to the brain. The conventional animal and Transwell BBB models along with emerging microfluidic-based BBB-on-chip ...
Novel electrospun chitosan/polyvinyl alcohol/zinc oxide nanofibrous mats with antibacterial and antioxidant properties for diabetic wound healing
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
Non-healing wound is a serious complication of diabetes, associated with extremely slow wound closure, and a high rate of infection, resulting in amputation or losses of limbs, high health care cost and poor quality of ...
Biosynthesis and characterization of graphene by using non-toxic reducing agent from Allium Cepa extract: Anti-bacterial properties
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
Graphene based materials have attracted huge interest in recent years due to their outstanding properties and applications in various fields including bioengineering, electronics, nanotechnology, composite materials and ...
Rheological and controlled release properties of hydrogels based on mushroom hyperbranched polysaccharide and xanthan gum
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2018 , Article)
A hyperbranched polysaccharide, coded as TM3a, was extracted from the Pleurotus tuber-regium sclerotia. TM3a was hybridized with xanthan gum (XG) by chemical crosslinking using sodium trimetaphosphate (STMP) to obtain new ...
