Introduction: Hollow gold nanoshells (HAuNS) are one of the most attractive nanostructures for biomedical applications due to their interesting physicochemical properties. This study sought to evaluate the plasmonic photothermal effect of HAuNS irradiated with incoherent light on melanoma cell line. Materials and Methods: After the synthesis of nanostructures, the temperature changes of HAuNS ...

Peptide-coated surfaces are widely employed in biomaterial design, but quantifiable correlation between surface composition and biological response is challenging due to, for example, instrumental limitations, a lack of suitable model or limitations quantitatively correlating data from different analytical techniques. Here, we first establish reference material that allows control over amino ac...

Abstract Background and Aims Fabry disease (FD) is a lysosome storage (LSD) characterized by significantly reduced intracellular autophagy function. This contributes to the progression of pathologic signaling can lead organ injury. Phospholipid–polyethyleneglycol-capped Ceria-Zirconia antioxidant nanoparticles (PEG-CZNPs) have been reported enhance flux. We accessed action mechanisms PEG-CZNPs ...

Some drugs have low bioavailability due to their poor aqueous solubility and/or slowdissolution rate in biological fluids. Stiripentol (STP) is a novel anticonvulsant drug that isstructurally unrelated to the currently available antiepileptics. It has poor aqueous solubilityand its solubility has to be enhanced accordingly. Polyethyleneglycol 6000 (PEG-6000) iscommonly utilized as a hydrophilic...
