1. INTRODUCTION Over 90,000 people suffer from nervous system injuries every year (Stabenfeldt, García & Laplaca, 2006) while spinal cord injury alone affects 10,000 people each year (Prang et al., 2006). The new invention, NeuRobot, a kind of nanorobot which is defined as a controllable machine at the nanometer scale that are composed of nano-scale components and algorithmically respond to input forces and information, is believed to bring the nanotechnology to the next level and be the answer…

4. Recent development of forward osmosis: As mentioned above, FO technology is faced by several challenges that limit its application in large scale processes. The development of FO process can be governed by two major factors; the development of high-performing draw solutions and highly efficient FO membrane. 4.1. Draw solutes development: The draw solution has several factors that can affect FO performance. These factors mainly comprise of draw and feed solution osmotic pressures [61], draw…

Session on surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy are the conventional treatment options for cancer therapy. To maximize the killing effects to the tumor, the combination therapy with surgery and radiation, or chemotherapy are most often used (Tannock 1998). However, for treatment of small, poorly defined metastases or tumors embedded within vital regions, such as brain, conventional treatment options may not be able to provide effective therapeutic outcome (Hirsch, Stafford et al. 2003).…

Synthesis of PEG-RAFT agent The synthesis of the macro PEG -RAFT agent, Chain Transfer Agent (CTA), was performed by esterification method. Briefly, RAFT agent (0.4 g, 1.5 mmol) and dihydroxyl PEG (2g, 0.5 mmol) were dissolved in 35 mL of DCM in a 250 mL round bottom flask equipped with a magnetic stirrer. Then, it was placed in an ice bath (0 ºC); Next, DCC (0.25 g, 1.2 mmol) and DMAP (0.015 g, 0.12 mmol) were added. After 30 min of stirring at 0 °C, the reaction temperature is elevated to room…

Solid lipid nanoparticles: Solid lipid nanoparticles (SLN) were introduced in the early 1990s as a drug delivery system in order to overcome the drawbacks associated with the traditional colloidal dispersions. The core of SLNs consist of a lipid with a high melting point and is covered…

the CNT precursors, also the catalyst precursors in CVD may be used in any form: solid, liquid or gas, which may be suitably placed inside the reactor or fed from outside. Pyrolysis of the catalyst vapor at a suitable temperature liberates metal nanoparticles in-situ (such a process is known as floating catalyst method). Alternatively, catalyst-coated substrates can be placed in the hot zone of the furnace to catalyze the CNT…

(A): The mission of the CNTC is to transform cancer therapy by enabling the early detection of cancer using nanoparticles and molecular imaging, as well as by developing new treatments with tumor- targeting technology. Specifically, the major activities of the center will focus on identifying unique biomarkers that could be targeted with nanoparticles themselves or antibody-labeled nanoparticles, and captured with…

The T cells are a type of white cells, which are important to the immune system, and contain a system that adjusts the body’s reaction to specific pathogens, this being the center of its adaptive immunity. T cells are like soldiers who search out and destroy the targeted invaders. T cells can be compared to soilders, they search out and demolish intruders. There has been a literature attention on the function of the administration in cancer immunity in T-Cells. The T cells are now known to take…

Bovine serum albumin (BSA) is usually used for generation of nanoparticles (NPs) in drug delivery systems. This paper presents a study on the simple coacervation method for fabrication of BSA nanoparticles.An artificial neural network (ANN) model was developed to predict the diameter of nanoparticles based on experimental data. Effect of pH, temperature, initial BSA and cross linker concentration, molar ratio of BSA to ethanol, agitation rate and rate of ethanol addition were investigated on the…

bring out the best properties of both material. A nanocomposite is the composite which exhibit at least one dimension of the nanoparticle size material [17]. The nanoparticle size is mainly used as the disperse particle system to enhance or improve the properties of the composite material such as strength, conductivity and wear resistance. The main reason for using nanoparticle is because of their large surface to volume which increases the filler- matrix interaction, thus increasing the…
