Recent Advances in FePt Nanoparticles for Biomedicine

Recent Advances in SELEX Technology and Aptamer Applications in Biomedicine

Aptamers are short DNA/RNA oligonucleotides capable of binding to target molecules with high affinity and specificity. The process of selecting an aptamer is called Systematic Evolution of Ligands by Exponential Enrichment (SELEX). Thanks to the inherit merits, aptamers have been used in a wide range of applications, including disease diagnosis, targeted delivery agents and therapeutic uses. To...

Recent Advances in Hemophilia Gene Therapy

Heterogeneous loss of function mutations at F8 and F9 genes causes X-linked recessive bleeding disorders, hemophilia A (HA) and hemophilia B (HB), respectively. HA is clinically indistinguishable from HB and accounts for more than 80% of hemophilia cases; the former affects 1/5000 and the latter 1/25000 male births worldwide. In Iran, it is estimated that around 4300 HA and 900 HB patients are ...

Advances in Biology & BioMedicine

In the present study the antimutagenic effects of Phyllanthus fruit extract (PFE) has been evaluated against cyclophosphamide induced genotoxicity in bone marrow cells of mice. when animals are treated with different doses of phyllanthus fruit extract i.e., 170,340 and 680 mg/kg to mice, the treated group has not showed any significant increase in the percentage of chromosomal aberrations in bo...

Oxidation of FePt nanoparticles

Chemically disordered B3–7-nm-diameter FePt nanoparticles are synthesized using the airless operation technique based on decomposition of iron pentacarbonyl and reduction of platinum acetylacetonate. The particle solution is then washed and subsequently deposited onto a thermally oxidized Si substrate. Nanoparticle assemblies are formed after solvent evaporation. The samples are heat-treated us...
