Development of a versatile monitoring technique for real-time protein activity tracking within cellular environment and biomimetic tissue engineering scaffold systems
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
Crowded cellular environments with complex and intricate
molecular interactions underpin biological processes. High
biological noise is intrinsic within these biological systems, and this
poses critical challenges to ...
Injectable bone substitute based on chitosan with polyethylene glycol polymeric solution and biphasic calcium phosphate microspheres.
(Elsevier, 2020-06-10)
We described a method to produce an injectable bone substitute consisting of a solid and liquid phase, this solid was formed using the coacervation method consisting of a mixture of Hydroxyapatite (HAp) and beta-Tricalcium ...
Macro and micro routes to high performance bioplastics: bioplastic biodegradability and mechanical and barrier properties
(MDPI, 2021-06-30)
: On a score sheet for plastics, bioplastics have a medium score for combined mechanical
performance and a high score for biodegradability with respect to counterpart petroleum-based
plastics. Analysis quickly confirms ...
Effect of thermal annealing on a bilayer polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid electrospun hydrogel nanofibres loaded with doxorubicin and clarithromycin for a synergism effect against osteosarcoma cells
(Elsevier, 2021-08-02)
Polyvinyl alcohol/polyacrylic acid (PVA/PAA) bilayer hydrogel nanofibres were successfully fabricated by
electrospinning and physically crosslinked via heat treatment. The effects of the thermal annealing
process on the ...
Sustainable antimicrobial polymeric food packaging and anti-infection medical catheter preparation using antimicrobial peptide and Ag+ nanoreservoir formulations
(Athlone Institute of Technology, 2020-06)
New antimicrobial interventions are urgently required to combat rising global health and medical infection challenges. Here, an
innovative antimicrobial technology, providing price competitive alternatives to antibiotics ...
Treatment for the amelioration of persistent factors in complex anal fistula
(Springer, 2021-11-19)
Anal fistulae are abnormal hollow connections between the wall of the anal canal and the
perianal skin around the anus that have remained a burden on the medical sector for centuries.
The complexity of this disease is ...
Development of sustainable flexible packaging solutions using novel biodegradable and compostable polymer blends
(BioICEP, 2020-10-19)
Plastic packaging has changed positively the way food products are delivered, reducing
poverty and hunger due to the better protection of the goods, allowing their preservation for
longer times throughout their supply ...
Mechanism of formation, characterization and cytotoxicity of green synthesized zinc nanoparticles obtained from Ilex paraguariensis leaves extract
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnONPs) was produced using Ilex paraguariensis (mate) leaves extract using a green synthesis process. The influence of ethanolic and aqueous plant extract and zinc source on the green synthesis ...
Development of alginate beads with encapsulated jabuticaba peel and propolis extracts to achieve a new natural colorant antioxidant additive.
(Elsevier, 2020-07)
This work aims to encapsulate anthocyanins and phenolic compounds extracted from a native Brazilian fruit peel
- jabuticaba (Plinia cauliflora (Mart.) Kausel) and propolis from Tubuna (Scaptotrigona bipunctata) stingless ...
Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy treated by plasma electrolytic oxidation in phosphoric acid for implant applications
(Rede Latino-Americana de Materiais, 2021)
Among titanium alloys with non-toxic elements, the Ti-25Nb-25Ta alloy has good elastic behavior for applications in osseous implants, biocompatibility, and excellent corrosion resistance. The present study aimed to
better ...
