in-stent restenosis and postangioplasty but the treatment doomed to change the incidence of restenosis, while it was demonstrated that gene transfer using liposomes was a viable and well tolerated approach. In a different clinical trial paclitaxel nanoparticles fixed to albumin was used to prevent in-stent restenosis. Reports claimed that without major complication the treatment was well tolerated at 10 or 30 mg/m2 [73,74]. Zhang et al [75] described acquirement of the surface modified liposome…

or research reports. However, in order to gain credibility from academia, it is essential to follow certain guidelines and organization when writing a scientific paper. From the given scientific paper, Cytotoxic Activity of Biosynthesized Gold Nanoparticles with an Extract of the Red Seaweed Corallina officinalis on the MCF-7 Human Breast Cancer Line, I observed several sections that are imperative to the completeness and persuasiveness of the paper. The sequence of the specific sections are as…

Consumer products Another application of nanotechnology in daily routine is consumer products. It is used from clothing to cosmetic products. - Silver nanoparticles used in fabric for the purpose of killing bacteria - It is used in lithium ion batteries for powering plug-in electric cars - It is used in skin care products for delivering vitamins deeper into the skin - Used in furniture with carbon nano-fibers…

On October 31, 2017, at 4:00 pm, I attended the Department of Biology Seminar Series hosted by Dr. Richard Gomer that helped in the Biological Sciences Building East, Room 115. The lecturer was Dr. Carolyn Cannon from the Department of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology at the College of Medicine TAMHSC. What intrigued me to go to this lecture was the title, “Wolves in Sheep's Clothing: Killing Bacterial Pathogens with Innocuous Compounds. Surprisingly the title did match the content that Dr.…

1.2.3 Gelatin Gelatin is a translucent, colorless, brittle (when dry), flavorless food derived from collagenobtained from various animal raw materials. It is commonly used as a gellingagent in food, pharmaceutical drugs, photography, and cosmetic manufacturing. Substances containing gelatin or functioning in a similar way are called "gelatinous". Gelatin is an irreversibly hydrolyzed form of collagen, wherein the hydrolysis results in the reduction of protein fibrils into smaller peptides, which…

One example is nanoparticles that have been formulated with gadolinium, which is also used as a non-nanomaterial contrast agent in MRI. Gadolinium ions have been incorporated into various nano-scaffolds consisting of polymers, micelles, liposomes, carbon nanotubes, lipoproteins, and silica nanoparticles. These contrast agents show increased sensitivity as the magnetic fields concentrate the ions in and around…

synthesized using an environment friendly reducing agent in optimum time to easily exfoliate coating solution and substitute on the microelectrode. Series connected distributed sensing electrodes were fabricated and patterned with TRGO added platinum nanoparticles (PtNP), chitosan-enzyme composites, and nafion, which were integrated onto the modified surface for effective glucose sensing. The fabricated biosensor demonstrated good amperometric response to glucose with a sensitivity of 41.18…

benzenethiol-capped QDs were dispersed in hexane at 10 mg/mL. Synthesis of ZnO NPs ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized from zinc acetate dehydrate and tetramethyl-ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) for electron transfer layers. TMAH in ethanol was dropped at a rate of 1mL/min into 0.1 M zincacetate dihydrate in dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and this solution was stirred for an hour at 4 °C. The ZnO nanoparticles were collected by centrifugation at 10,000 rpm for 10 min and dispersed in 25 mL…

Cancer is one of the most important human health problems in the world. There is a global effort to make progress in new technologies that could overcome the inherent disadvantage of chemotherapy and efficiently destroy tumors without damaging the healthy body. The two most important goals of antitumor therapy are to detect cancer at primary steps, deliver medicinal active ingredients to the special sites with reducing of adverse effects and increase of the efficacy of an anticancer drug. One of…

through aggregation [9]. A STF-impregnated Kevlar with no impact on it has a high rate of comfort and flexibility. However, the STF behaves like a rigid solid and boost the ballistic protection of body armor. STF is saturated with colloidal silica nanoparticles. When the hydrodynamic forces overcome the inter particle forces at high shear rates, hydrodynamic clusters form and shear thickening happens [10]. Consequently, this reaction improves the energy absorption of Kevlar body armor as the…
