Silver (SN) nanoparticles were re‐dispersed in aqueous solution of Pluronic F127 and complexed with the antioxidant, alpha‐ Lipoic acid (LA). The nanoparticle ‐ LA complex (SN‐LA) was characterized using SEM. SN‐ LA exhibited DPPH radical scavenging activity in vitro and anti‐ inflammatory activity against acute and chronic paw models of edema in mice. SN‐LA protected ...

Iron oxide nanoparticles made from the thermal decomposition method are highly uniform in all respects (size, shape, composition and crystallography), making them ideal candidates for many bioapplications. The surfactant coating on the as-synthesized nanoparticles renders the nanoparticles insoluble in aqueous solutions. For biological applications nanoparticles must be water soluble. Here we d...

Studies of dynamic processes in Caerhohabditis elegans require the ability to image subcellular structures and thus immobilize animals continuously while providing them with nutrients for several hours. Standard techniques utilize glue or anesthetics, which alter physiology and prevent feeding. We present a platform to immobilize animals’ bodies for several hours for continuous or frequent imag...

The purpose of this study was to fabricate and investigate the highly porous structure using titanium dioxide, which is a candidate for bone defect repairing. For this purpose, TiO2 scaffolds were synthesized using titanium butoxide, Pluronic F127 surfactant, and polyurethane foam blocks. Therefore, a colloid includes titanium butoxide and F127 and the polyurethane foams were immersed in it. Th...

A number of ways have been investigated for administration of antibacterial agents in dealing of plaque-initiated periodontal disease. These include prolonged release intrapocket devices which are inserted at diseased sites. Intrapocket drug delivery system was designed which contain Doxycycline Hyclate an antibacterial agent. The formulations were so developed with an aim to reduce the dose of...
