Arabinoxylan-Incorporated Poly(ε-Caprolactone) Nanofiber Matrix Promotes Fibroblast Cell Adhesion and Proliferation

Academic Background Wound healing is a complex physiological process involving multiple coordinated stages, including hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. However, in cases of severe trauma or chronic wounds, traditional treatments such as dressings and sutures often have limited efficacy. In recent years, the development of tis...

Synthesis, Physicochemical Characterization, and Antimicrobial Evaluation of Ureasil-Polyether Coatings with Silver Nanoparticles for Hospital Devices

Research Background Nosocomial infections are a common and serious problem in healthcare settings, particularly on reusable medical devices, where cross-contamination and biofilm formation are major causes. To address this challenge, researchers have begun exploring the use of coating materials containing metallic nanoparticles to prevent microbial...

Effects of Bare and PEG Coated Gold Nanoparticles on RRM2 Protein: A Pathway Analysis and MD Simulations Approach

Academic Background Nanoparticles (NPs) have increasingly been applied in the medical field, particularly in bioimaging, biosensing, and drug delivery. Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), due to their unique physicochemical properties, have become a focal point in biomedical research. However, despite their significant therapeutic potential, the biosafety ...

Changes in Growth and Secondary Metabolite Production in Cannabis sativa L. in Response to Simultaneous Treatment with Plasma-Activated Water, Melatonin, and Nano-Zinc

Academic Background Industrial hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) holds significant value in the pharmaceutical and industrial sectors due to its rich secondary metabolites, such as cannabinoids, terpenoids, and flavonoids. Cannabinoids, including tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD), exhibit notable pharmacological activities, with THC being ps...

Eucalyptus Globulus Essential Oil-Based Nanoemulsions: Comprehensive Development, In Vitro and In Silico Assessment Against Spodoptera Litura

Academic Background With the rapid growth of the global population, which is expected to reach 9.7 billion by 2050, food security has become an increasingly pressing issue. Agricultural productivity is affected by various factors, with pest damage to crops being particularly severe. The tobacco cutworm (Spodoptera litura), a polyphagous pest widely...

Structural, Optical, and Antibacterial Properties of NiO and BaO Doped NiO Prepared by Co-Precipitation Method

Academic Background Nickel oxide (NiO), as a p-type semiconductor, has garnered significant attention due to its exceptional optical properties, chemical stability, and extensive applications in optoelectronics, photocatalysis, and biosensors. NiO’s high transparency, adjustable electrical conductivity, and wide bandgap make it an ideal material fo...

Hydrothermal Production of Multifunctional Zinc Ferrite Nanoparticles as Fertilizer, Supercapacitor Electrode, and NPK Sensor

Academic Background With the continuous growth of the global population, the world population is expected to reach 10 billion by 2050, particularly in developing countries, where the demand for food will significantly increase. As the most populous country in the world, India needs to increase its crop production by 50% to meet the demand for food,...

A Novel Formulation of Docetaxel-Containing Micelle Surface Modified with Metronidazole to Target Tumor Hypoxia

Background Introduction Cancer is one of the leading causes of death globally, and despite significant progress in treatment, the complexity of tumors, particularly tumor hypoxia, remains a major obstacle to successful therapy. Hypoxic regions are prevalent in solid tumors, where oxygen concentrations are significantly lower than in normal tissues ...

Biomass-Derived Graphene and Metal–Organic Frameworks for Sustainable Sensing Applications

With the increasing global emphasis on sustainable development and environmental protection, biomass, as a natural and abundant carbon source, has gradually become a research hotspot. Biomass includes plant leaves, grasses, rice husks, coffee grounds, agricultural waste, food production waste, and municipal waste, characterized by its renewability,...

Tissue Engineered Scaffolds Combined with Exercise in the Treatment of Volumetric Muscle Loss in Rat Model

Academic Background Volumetric Muscle Loss (VML) is a severe muscle injury typically caused by trauma, ischemia, or tumor excision. VML leads to irreversible loss of muscle fibers, resulting in fibrosis, deformity, and long-term dysfunction. Unlike ordinary muscle injuries, VML has very limited regenerative capacity because the extent of damage exc...
