Near-infrared (NIR)-induced chemothermal doxorubicin (DOX) release for anticancer activity was demonstrated using DOX-incorporated fully lateral nanodimensional graphene oxide (nGO) flakes layered with chitosan-polyethylene glycol (PEG) conjugate (nGO@DOX-cPEG) from a single-pass gas-phase self-assembly. Unlike most previously reported graphene oxide-based drug carriers, the proposed processing...

The state-of-the-art on calcium orthophosphate (CaPO4)-containing biocomposites and hybrid biomaterials suitable for biomedical applications is presented. Since these types of biomaterials offer many significant and exciting possibilities for hard tissue regeneration, this subject belongs to a rapidly expanding area of biomedical research. Through the successful combinations of the desired prop...

Kelley, David E., F. Leland Thaete, Fred Troost, Trina Huwe, and Bret H. Goodpaster. Subdivisions of subcutaneous abdominal adipose tissue and insulin resistance. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 278: E941–E948, 2000.—Whereas truncal (central) adiposity is strongly associated with the insulin resistant metabolic syndrome, it is uncertain whether this is accounted for principally by visceral adipos...

Benthem, Lambertus, Thomas O. Mundinger, and Gerald J. Taborsky, Jr. Meal-induced insulin secretion in dogs is mediated by both branches of the autonomic nervous system. Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 278: E603–E610, 2000.—We investigated the relationship between autonomic activity to the pancreas and insulin secretion in chronically catheterized dogs when food was shown, during eating, and duri...
