BACKGROUND/AIM A local nanotherapy (LNT) combining the therapeutic efficacy of trans-arterial embolization, nanoparticles, and p53 gene therapy has been previously presented. The study presented here aimed to further improve the incomplete tumor eradication and limited survival enhancement and to elucidate the molecular mechanism of the LNT. METHODS In a tumor-targeting manner, recombinant ex...

Low mobility and solubility reduce the availability of traditional phosphorus (P) fertilizer in red acidic soil. Hydroxyapatite (HAP), especially nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HAP), may be more efficient than P because its nanoparticle characteristics. Camellia oleifera ( C. ) is an edible oil tree whose productivity greatly affected by fertilizer. During this study, we investigated migration differen...

This study aimed to produce and characterize the microstructure mechanical properties of dense polycrystalline bovine hydroxyapatite (DPBHA) bioceramics with 5% 8% TiO2 nanoparticles after final synthetization for future use in dental implants. Structural characterization was obtained from analyzes by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, ener...

Abstract Perovskite solar cells continue to attract interest due their facile preparation and high power conversion efficiencies. However, the highest efficiency perovskite inevitably contain lead, which raises concerns over contamination of drinking water when a module is broken then flooded. We previously showed that conventional synthetic hydroxyapatite (HAP) nanoparticles could capture some...

Hydroxyapatite (HAp) nanoparticles of tunable diameter were obtained by the precipitation method at room temperature and by microwave hydrothermal synthesis (MHS). The following parameters of the obtained nanostructured HAp were determined: pycnometric density, specific surface area, phase purity, lattice parameters, particle size, particle size distribution, water content, and structure. HAp n...
