[ 1 ] - The effect of graphite sources on preparation of Photoluminescent graphene nano-sheets for biomedical imaging

Objective(s): Graphene as two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted wide attention in different fields such as biomedical imaging. Ultra-small graphene nano-sheets (UGNSs) have been designated as low dimensional graphene sheets with lateral dimensions less than few nanometres (≤ 500 nm) in one, two or few layers. Several studies have proven that the process of acidic exfoliation and oxidati...

[ 2 ] - TiO2 Nanoparticles as Potential Promoting Agents of Fibrillation of α-Synuclein, a Parkinson’s Disease-Related Protein

Background: In recent years, nanomaterials have been widely used in large quantities which make people bemore frequently exposed to the chemically synthesized nanoparticles (NPs). When NPs are introduced intoan organism, they may interact with a variety of cellular components with yet largely unknown pathologicalconsequences.Objective: I...

[ 3 ] - Straightforward and Cost-Effective Production of RADA-16I Peptide in Escherichia coli

Background: RADA16I represents one of promising hydrogel forming peptides. Several implementations of RADA16I hydrogels have proven successful in the field of regenerative medicine and tissue engineering. However, RADA16I peptides used in various studies utilize synthetic peptides and so far, only two research articles have been published on RADA16I peptide recombinant producti...
