Cells always undergo large deformation in response to external stimulations or internal stresses many cell functions (e.g., migration, division and growth). When undergoing deformation, crosslinked actin filament networks (CAFNs) show strong nonlinear elasticity maintain the shape integrity, known as strain stiffening, which plays a crucial role functions. To investigate elastic behaviors of CA...

The dynamical properties of nanogels of xanthan gum (XG) with hydrodynamic radius controlled in a size range from 5 nm to 35 nm, were studied at the different XG concentrations in water/sodium bis-2-ethylhexyl-sulfosuccinate (AOT)/decane reverse micelles (RMs) vs. mass fraction of nano-droplet (MFD) at W = 40, using dynamic light scattering (DLS). The diffusion study of nanometer-sized droplets...

Natural Anticancer Agents Cancer is the second leading cause of death throughout world. In article number 2209419, Hadis Rostamabadi and co-workers, comprehensively overview biopolymer nanovehicles for oral delivery natural anticancer agents (NAAs). NAAs that are a gift nature to humanity, have been extensively utilized in alleviation/prevention cancer. The restricted by some inherent features ...
