Angiogenesis is important for normal growth and wound healing processes. An imbalance of the growth factors involved in this process, however, causes the acceleration of several diseases including malignant, ocular, and inflammatory diseases. Inhibiting angiogenesis through interfering with its pathway is a promising methodology to hinder the progression of these diseases. Herein, we studied th...

The well-defined geometry, exceptional mechanical properties, and extraordinary electrical characteristics of carbon nanotubes qualify them for structuring nanoelectronic circuits, nanoelectromechanical systems, and nanorobotic systems. Relative displacements between the atomically smooth, nested shells in multiwalled carbon nanotubes can be used as robust nanoscale motion enabling mechanisms f...

Binary nano-composites of Pt and nano-carbon (NC) and Pt and multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) have been prepared with varied compositions ranging between 20 and 80wt% Pt and investigated them as electrocatalysts for methanol oxidation. The study shows that with the increase in wt% of NC, the apparent electro-catalytic activity of the composite catalyst increases initially, reaches maximum at...
