BACKGROUND The field of dental ceramics for CAD-CAM is enriched with a new innovative material composition having a porous three-dimensional structure of feldspathic ceramic infiltrated with acrylic resins.The aim of this study is to determine the mechanical properties of Polymer-Infiltrated-Ceramic-Network (PICN) and compare its performance with other ceramics and a nano-ceramic resin availabl...

There has been great interest in intervention strategies based on plant essential oils to control pathogens such as Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Listeria monocytogenes (Lm). However, the poor solubility of essential oils in water makes it difficult to disperse evenly in food matrices, impacting food quality and antimicrobial efficacy. In the present study, eugenol was dispersed in nanocapsules ...

Introduction: C-phycocyanin (C-PC), a photosynthetic protein obtained from Spirulina , is regarded highly promising commercially available biochemical. Numerous in vitro and vivo studies have provided evidence of C-PC’s ability to mitigate the inflammatory response, alleviate oxidative stress, facilitate wound healing. However, despite existing knowledge regarding protective mechanism against c...

Numerous scientific and technological advances have transformed drug development from an empirical art-form to a precise and systematic design effort. A fundamental understanding of molecular, cell, and tissue biology has inspired the engineering of a promising new generation of drugs—Bioengineered Therapeutics. These comprise native and engineered molecular scaffolds such as proteins, enzymes,...
