Crosstalk between Microglia and Neurons in Neurotrauma: An Overview of the Underlying Mechanisms.
(
Bentham Science Publishers
, 2022 , Article Review)
Microglia are the resident immune cells of the brain and play a crucial role in housekeeping and maintaining homeostasis of the brain microenvironment. Upon injury or disease, microglial cells become activated, at least ...
Yttrium oxide nanoparticle loaded scaffolds with enhanced cell adhesion and vascularization for tissue engineering applications
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
In situ tissue engineering is emerging as a novel approach in tissue engineering to repair damaged tissues by boosting the natural ability of the body to heal itself. This can be achieved by providing suitable signals and ...
Toxicity evaluation of selected ionic liquid compounds on embryonic development of Zebrafish.
(
Elsevier
, 2018 , Article)
Hydrate formation in seafloor pipelines is considered an economic and flow assurance issue for the oil and gas industries. Ionic liquids (ILs) have been recently used as potential hydrate inhibitors. Although branded as ...
Silymarin-albumin nanoplex: Preparation and its potential application as an antioxidant in nervous system in vitro and in vivo
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article)
In this study, we formulated silymarin-HSA nanoplex and assayed its ability to reduce LPS-induced toxicity in vitro and in vivo. Silymarin molecules were encapsulated into HSA nanoplex and the loading efficiency and ...
Plasmonic gold nanoparticles: Optical manipulation, imaging, drug delivery and therapy
(
Elsevier B.V.
, 2019 , Article Review)
Over the past two decades, the development of plasmonic nanoparticle (NPs), especially gold (Au) NPs, is being pursued more seriously in the medical fields such as imaging, drug delivery, and theranostic systems. However, ...
M cell targeting engineered biomaterials for effective vaccination
(
Elsevier Ltd
, 2019 , Article)
Vaccines are one of the greatest medical interventions of all time and have been successful in controlling and eliminating a myriad of diseases over the past two centuries. Among several vaccination strategies, mucosal ...
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 ...
