Atherosclerosis (AS), the underlying cause of most cardiovascular events, is one common causes human morbidity and mortality worldwide due to lack an efficient strategy for targeted therapy. In this work, we aimed develop ideal biomimetic nanoparticle AS Methods: Based on macrophage homing into atherosclerotic lesions cell membrane coating nanotechnology, nanoparticles (MM/RAPNPs) were fabricat...

The interest in cellulose and its derivatives has been exponentially increasing due to its excellent thermal stability, biocompatibility, chemical persistence and biodegradability. Among various cellulose derivatives, cellulose acetate (CA) has been applied in many applications including sensor systems, drug delivery systems, separation membrane, and tissue engineering. Recently, the electrospu...

      The muscle-like technology would be of enormous advantages for biomedical applications such as medical implants and human assist devices. Ionic polymer metal composites (IPMCs) are one kind of biomimetic actuators. An ionic polymer metal composite composed from an ionomer with high ion exchange capacity that packed between two thin metal layers. In the present study we focused on the prep...

Introduction: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique utilized in various medical applications, including brain imaging and other neurological diseases. Recognizing the physiological and anatomical characteristics of organs based on their electrical properties is one of the main applications of EIT, as each variety of tissue structure has its own electrical characteris...

A model to describe the transport across membranes of chemical species dissolved in an incompressible flow is developed via homogenization. The asymptotic matching between microscopic and macroscopic solute concentration fields leads a flux jump membrane, quantified through solution diffusion problems at microscale. predictive model, written closed form, covers wide range membrane behaviors, li...

This review involves three main parts: the formation, properties and applications of GPMVs. The are also divided into GPMVs as cell mimics, plasma membrane models drug carriers.

Composite membranes have been synthesized from biopolymer chitosan (CS) and nanosized montmorillonite (MMT) filler crosslinked with sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) as an alternative membrane electrolyte for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) application. All prepared were obtained by solution casting technique. Prepared systematically characterized in terms of water uptake, permeability performance para...

Considerable attention has been focused on solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) due to their potential for providing clean and reliable electric power. However, the high operating temperatures of current SOFCs limit their adoption in mobile applications. To lower the SOFC operating temperature, we fabricated a corrugated thin-film electrolyte membrane by nanosphere lithography and atomic layer deposi...
