Heated scallop-shell (HSS) nano-particles, prepared using a wet grinding mill, and microparticles were examined for their antibacterial activity against vegetative bacterial cells and spores. The median diameters of the nano-particles and micro-particles were approximately 20 nm and 30 µm, respectively. The antibacterial activity of HSS against Escherichia coli increased with an increase in con...

Objective(s):   The production of nano-hydroxyapatite by two encapsulated bacterial strains was the goal of current research.  Materials and Methods:   Serratia marcscens ATCC 14756 and Pseudomonas aeruginosa PTCC 1570 were used by two methods including encapsulated form in 2% (w/v) alginate sodium powder and inoculated form (10%) in nutrient broth medium containing alginate sodium blank beads....

Background: Eptifibatide (Integrilin®) is a hepta-peptide drug which specifically prevents the aggregation of activated platelets. The peptide drugs are encapsulated into nanolipisomes in order to decreasing their side effects and improving their half-life and bioavailability. Objectives: In this study, the in vitro cytotoxicity and hemocompatibi...

A formulation of nano-encapsulated enantiomer of (+) promethazine with desired release rate has been synthesized for establish a localized drug delivery system. It was tested on a hind limb suspension (HLS) disuse rat model, and by using a non-destructive Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) relaxation technique, and micro computed tomography (Micro-CT) analysis technique to qualitatively evaluate ...

nano-encapsulated iron oxide in zirconium oxide-coated mica pigments are thermally stable,innocuous to human health, non-combustible, and they do not conduct electricity. they could beapplied in several industries such as thermoplastics, cosmetics, food packaging, children toys, paints,automobiles coating, security purposes, and banknotes. nowadays, they are highly desirable inceramic decoratio...

Animal tissues normally have their inherently unique tissue architectures that are biologically meaningful for their tissue functions. Nevertheless, the conventional tissue engineering approaches cannot tailor the structures of an engineered tissue construct. To tackle the technical hurdle, the concept of “bottom-up” tissue engineering holds immense promise, by which an entire engineered tissue...

in MCF-7 human cancer cell line using magneic PLGA nanoparticles, dextran coated particles and empty PLGA nanoparticles.. Figure 1: Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) of nanoparticles with TEM inset showing distribution of magnetite cores. A) PLGA nanoparticles; B) PLGA microparticles; C) Cellulose nanoparticles. Particles are uniform in size, spherical and have high amounts of encapsulated mag...
