Emerging innate biological properties of nano-drug delivery systems: A focus on PAMAM dendrimers and their clinical potential
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Drug delivery systems or vectors are usually needed to improve the bioavailability and effectiveness of a drug through improving its pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics at an organ, tissue or cellular level. However, emerging ...
Rational synthesis of three-dimensional core-double shell upconversion nanodendrites with ultrabright luminescence for bioimaging application
(
Royal Society of Chemistry
, 2019 , Article)
Engineering the morphology of rare-earth doped NaYF4-based upconversion nanoparticles (UCNPs) can effectively tune their upconversion luminescence emission (UCLE) properties. Herein, we rationally synthesized a new class ...
Synthesis, characterization, and application of novel Ni-P-carbon nitride nanocomposites
(
MDPI AG
, 2018 , Article)
Dispersion of 2D carbon nitride (C3N4) nanosheets into a nickel phosphorous (NiP) matrix was successfully achieved by ultrasonication during the electroless plating of NiP from an acidic bath. The morphology and thickness, ...
Durability characteristics of high and ultra-high performance concretes
(
Elsevier
, 2021 , Article)
Durability characteristics of high-performance concrete (HPC) and ultra-high performance concrete (UHPC) are evaluated in comparison to normal strength concrete (NSC). HPC and UHPC are cast using commonly available materials ...
Evaluation of cellulose triacetate hollow fiber membrane for volume reduction of real industrial effluents through an osmotic concentration process: A pilot-scale study
(
Elsevier

During the last few years, there has been an increase in public awareness of antimicrobial fabrics, as well as an increase in commercial opportunities for their use in pharmaceutical and medical settings. The present study ...
Cytoprotective, antioxidant, and anti-migratory activity of Pistacia lentiscus L. supercritical carbon dioxide extract on primary human endothelial cells
(
Taylor & Francis
, 2022 , Article)
Green chemistry is a useful tool for producing valuable chemicals from biomass. However, extracted compounds need to be tested for safety and efficacy before their use in humans. Here we investigate the chemical composition ...
Epac as a tractable therapeutic target
(
Elsevier
, 2023 , Article)
In 1957, cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) was identified as the first secondary messenger, and the first signaling cascade discovered was the cAMP-protein kinase A (PKA) pathway. Since then, cAMP has received increasing ...
