Isoniazid (INH) is one of the primary drugs used in tuberculosis treatment and its encapsulation in liposomal vesicles can both improve its therapeutic index and minimize toxicity. Here we consider mixtures of hydrogenated soy phosphatidylcholine-phosphatidylglycerol (HSPC-DPPG) to get novel biocompatible liposomes for INH delivery. We determined I...

Mineral coatings manipulate surface properties such as roughness, porosity, wettability and surface energy. Properties that are known to determine cell behaviour. Therefore, mineral coatings can potentially be used to manipulate cell fate. This paper studies mineral-cell interactions through coatings in a stacked cell culture platform. Minerals wer...

Here we develop a simple and effective nose/tongue sensor array based on Co-N-C single-atom nanozymes-3,3',5,5'-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB)-H2O2 for colorimetric discrimination of antioxidants, which makes use of the color reaction of TMB oxidation by H2O2 in two different pH (3.8 and 4.6) environments under the catalysis of Co-N-C nanoenzyme with p...

Solution acidification exists under some physiological conditions (e.g. lysosomes in cells) and diseases (e.g. atherosclerosis, tumors, etc.). It is poorly understood whether and how acidification influences the size and biomechanical (stiffness and stickiness) properties of native Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and its oxidized form (oxLDL) which p...

Implant-associated infections and aseptic loosening are some of the main reasons for implant failure. Therefore, there is an urgent need to improve the osseointegration and antibacterial capabilities of implant materials. In recent years, a large number of breakthroughs in the biological application of tantalum and its derivatives have been achieve...

Picric acid (PA) is one of the essential components utilized in manufacturing of explosives. Therefore, the detection of trace amount of PA is critical in forensic science, criminal investigation, military security and environmental safety. Owing to these attributes, development of a simple, rapid and point-of-care (POC) analytical method for PA de...

In this study, electrospinning of hordein and glutelin extracted from barley was carried out. Different ratios of the glutelin-hordein blends (25:75, 30:70, 35:65) were tested and the operation parameters including voltage, ejection flow rate and needle-to-collector distance were optimized. According to the scanning electron microscope images, the ...

We have developed oxygen filled microbubbles, SE61O2, for localized, ultrasound-triggered oxygen delivery to hypoxic tumors prior to radiation therapy. Microbubbles, created by sonication, have a shell composed of D-α-Tocopherol polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) and sorbitan monostearate. Preliminary studies in mice with breast tumor xenogr...

In the present study, the mechanism for gelation of dried egg whites (DEWs) samples, which were differentially pretreated with dry-heat treatment and alkaline pH, were investigated using dynamic viscoelastic measurements and ultrasound spectroscopy for gels formed with at high protein concentrations. Rheological measurements showed that DEW gels wi...
