BIOMEDICAL POTENTIAL OF ALGO-BACTERIAL SYMBIOSES

Context-dependent symbioses and their potential roles in wildlife diseases.

It is well known in ecology, evolution and medicine that both the nature (commensal, parasitic and mutualistic) and outcome (symbiont fitness, survival) of symbiotic interactions are often context-dependent. Less is known about the importance of context-dependence in symbioses involved in wildlife disease. We review variable symbioses, and use the amphibian disease chytridiomycosis to demonstra...

Biomedical potential of the sea.

Marine life forms studied in recent years have yielded a variety of organic compounds possessing known or novel pharmacologic and toxicologic activities in mammalian species. Evidence available to date suggests that the sea offers a rich reserve of novel organic molecules which, as such or in structurally modified form, may be useful to mankind either as new drugs to combat disease or as bioche...

Synthesis of Zataria Multiflora extraction loaded chitosan/PEO nanofibers via electrospinning method for potential biomedical applications

Background & Objective: The nanofibers are referred to as fibers with a diameter of less than 1000 nm. There are various ways to make nanofibers, one of which is electrospinning. In this method, nanofibers are formed on aluminum sheets. The conversion of chitosan to derivatives with greater solubility, its mixing with other polymers and the use of special solvents are methods for its ease of us...

Synthesis and optimization of Chitosan nanoparticles: Potential applications in nanomedicine and biomedical engineering

Background: Chitosan nanoparticles have become of great interest for nanomedicine, biomedical engineering and development of new therapeutic drug release systems with improved bioavailability, increased specificity and sensitivity, and reduced pharmacological toxicity. The aim of the present study is to synthesis and optimization of chitosan nanoparticles for industrial and biomedical applicati...
