Abstract Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient for human biology that executes its functions as the amino acid selenocysteine via selenoproteins, which have important in, example, antioxidation, immunomodulation, thyroid metabolism, and fertility. Se nutritional status assessed using quantification of blood biomarkers, are influenced by several factors, including diet, age, gender, smokin...

The aim of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and usefulness human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSCs) hyaluronan acid (HA) combination attenuate osteoarthritis progression in knee while simultaneously providing some insights on mitigation mechanism. In vitro, effect hUC-MSCs with HA treatment chondrocyte cell viability cytokine profile were analyzed. Additionally, antioxida...

Beta-carotene (BC) is a nutrient in vegetables and precursor of vitamin A. BC has been reported to have anticarcinogenic, antiaging, antioxidation properties prevents heart diseases. Recently, gained significant attention due stimulating effect on osteoblast differentiation. Poly(lactic acid)/hydroxyapatite (PLA/HAp) core-shell nanoparticles earlier with load capacity 250% for water-insoluble s...

In this study, we show that adding halloysite nanotubes (HNT) to carbon black (CB)-packed acrylic rubber (ACM) composites improves their thermal properties. The thermo-oxidative stability, and dynamic mechanical properties of ACM (filled simply with 70 phr CB) hybrid comprising a fixed amount CB (60 phr) variable (2, 4, 6, 8, 10 were investigated. As evidenced by the oxidation induction time an...

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have drawn great attention due to their outstanding antibacterial effect in a wide range of applications, such as biomass packaging materials, wound dressings, flexible sensors, etc. However, the oxidation AgNPs limits effect. Firstly, effects pretreatment methods on property were investigated by shake flask method and agar diffusion plate method. Secondly, graphene...
