Solid-lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) are an innovative group of nanosystems used to deliver medicine to their respective targets with better efficiency and bioavailability in contrast to classical formulations. SLNs are less noxious, have fewer adverse effects, have more biocompatibility, and have easy biodegradability. Lipophilic, hydrophilic and hydr...

Dry eye disease (DED) is an emerging health problem affecting millions of individuals every year. The current treatments for DED include lubricating eye drops and anti-inflammatory agents. These agents have to be used frequently and contain preservatives, which can damage the ocular surface. A substantially long-acting treatment with better bioavai...

Phthalocyanines are photosensitizers activated by light at a specific wavelength in the presence of oxygen and act through the production of Reactive Oxygen Species, which simultaneously attack several biomolecular targets in the pathogen agent and, therefore, have multiple and variable action sites. This nonspecific action site bypasses convention...
The overall aim of this PhD work is the investigation of the harvest of power from ambient vibrations at relatively low frequencies

Cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are small peptides from natural sources or designed from other protein sequences that can penetrate cell membranes. This property has been used in biomedicine to add them to biomolecules to improve their capacity for cell internalization and as a guidance tool for specific cell types. CPPs have been shown to enhance...

Target treatment using site-specific nanosystems is a hot topic for treating several diseases, especially cancer. The study was set out to develop site-specific liposomes using ConcanavalinA (ConA) to target β- lapachone(β-lap) to human breast cancer cells. Liposomes were prepared and characterized according to diameter size, zeta potential, ConA c...

Functionally graded materials (FGMs) are a unique type of composite in which the material properties vary in one or more directions from one material to another. FGMs are usually composed of a metal and a ceramic. One special type of FGM is known as functionally graded piezoelectric materials (FGPM) which can be utilized for energy-harvesting appli...

In this study, the essential oil (EO) from leaves of Croton linearis Jacq was extracted and characterized by GC/MS. The EO hydrophilic-lipophilic balance required (rHLB) for nanoemulsion (NE) development was determined by the Griffin' method. For evaluating the larvicidal effect against Aedes aegypti, the preparation process of NE was optimized, us...
