A mixed nano-metal oxides of Cu-Ni-Co has been synthesized. Several characterization techniques (EDS, XRD, TEM, and SEM) have been used to provide insight into the nature and structure of the catalyst. The size of this mixed metal oxide is 22 nm. The SEM images indicate that the sample with spherical particles, of which spherical assembly is compri...

Endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) is a useful tool for the treatment of early gastric neoplasms, however post-ESD bleeding and perforation restrict its widespread application. In this study, we developed the chitosan/β-glycerophosphate/collagen (CS/GP/Col) thermo-sensitive systems to satisfy the requirements for the endoscopic treatment for ES...

Transition metals (TM) are essential microelements with various biological functions demanded in tissue regeneration applications. Little is known about therapeutic potential of TM within soft hydrogel biomaterials. The soluble divalent TM, such as Zn, Cu, Mn and Co, were stably incorporated into gelatin network during cryogelation. TM content in t...

Tuberculosis (TB), caused by M.tuberculosis (Mtb), has become a top killer among infectious diseases. Enhancing the ability of anti-TB drugs to kill intracellular Mtb in host cells remains a big challenge. Here, an innovative nano-system was developed to increase drug delivery and Mtb-killing efficacy in Mtb-infected macrophages. We employed mannos...

A series of germanium (Ge)-containing glasses were synthesized based on a starting glass composition of SiO2-ZnO-CaO-SrO-P2O5. Additions of GeO2 (6 and 12 mol%) were incorporated at the expense of SiO2, which retained the amorphous character, and each glass was processed to present similar particle size and surface area. Glass characterization usin...

The different lineage-specific biological properties of articular cartilage and subchondral bone present a great challenge in the construction of bi-lineage scaffolds for simultaneous osteochondral regeneration. To overcome this challenge, strontium incorporated calcium silicate (Sr-CS) ceramic was prepared for bi-lineage formation of scaffolds in ...

Bio-nanowire structured armors - conch shells, which are often collected as art pieces, possess a special function - an unusual resilience against high speed predatory attacks. Under high-strain-rate compression (strain rate ~103 s-1) conch shells highlight significantly high fracture strength vis-à-vis under quasi-static loading (strain rate ≤ 10-...

We have designed and characterized an injectable, electrostatically bonded, in situ-forming hydrogel system consisting of a cationic polyelectrolyte [(methoxy)polyethylene glycol-b-(poly(ε-caprolactone)-ran-poly(L-lactic acid)] (MP) copolymer derivatized with an amine group (MP-NH2) and anionic BMP2. To the best of our knowledge, there have been ha...

Fully degradable poly lactic acid based composite reinforced with 20 vol% magnesium alloy wires (MAWs) is prepared for weight bearing bone fracture healing. The degradation behaviors of the composite in the consistent and staged dynamic environments are investigated. The results suggest that dynamic loading would overall accelerate the degradation ...
