Extracellular vesicles (EVs) have recently gained significant attention as important mediators of intercellular communication, potential drug carriers, and disease biomarkers. These natural cell-derived nanoparticles are postulated to be biocompatible, stable under physiological conditions, and to show reduced immunogenicity as compared to other synthetic nanoparticles. Although initial clinica...

a key parameter for the application of polymer gels in water shut off treatment is the adsorption of polymer gel onto the rock surface. so, the adsorption properties of a nanocomposite hydrogel were discussed in this research by crosslinking of sulfonated polyacrylamide/sodium montmorillonite aqueous solutions with chromium triacetate. the x-ray diffraction patterns indicated that exfoliated ty...

background: sustained release delivery system can reduce the dosage frequency and maintain the therapeutic level of drugs for a longer time. biodegradable, biocompatible and thermosensitive chitosan-beta-glycerophosphate (c-gp) solutions can solidify at body temperature and maintain their physical integrity for a longer duration. objectives: to develop a novel delivery system based on the integ...

Targeted drug delivery is currently emerging as a promising approach to overcome the limits of employed administration techniques. The most convenient methodology control application stimuli-responsive materials, which can release drugs only when required, remotely controlled microdevices able navigate human body. Thanks this synergy, be both spatially and temporally. Spatial guaranteed by mane...

Three-dimensional (3D) graphene-based composite materials have attracted increasing attention, owing to their specific surface area, high conductivity and electronic interactions. Here, we report a convenient route to fabricate a 3D Co3O4/Graphene Hydrogel (CGH) composite as an electrode material for supercapacitors. Utilizing the gelation of a graphene oxide dispersion enables the anchoring of...

In this work, a series of hydrogel nanocomposites were prepared by grafting acrylic acid and acrylamide on gelatin in the presence of Na-montmorillonite (Na-MMT) nanoparticles. The characterizations of hydrogel nanocomposites were examined by swelling experiments, Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, X-Ray diffraction (XRD) patterns and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Scanning ele...

To develop an immunotherapeutic vaccine for treatment of allergic rhinitis, we developed a controlled release formulation of Cryj1, a major Japanese cedar pollen allergen, with immunostimulatory potency. Two sets of hexapod-like structured DNA (hexapodna) were prepared using six oligodeoxynucleotides (ODNs) each, including ODNs with an unmethylated cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) sequence (CpG...
