DNA based spherical nanostructures are one of the promising nanostructures for several biomedical and biotechnological applications due to their excellent biocompatibility and DNA-directed surface addressability. Herein, we report the synthesis and amphiphilicity-driven self-assembly of two classes of DNA (hydrophilic)-chromophore (hydrophobic) hybrid amphiphiles into spherical nanostructures. ...

introduction: in orthodontic therapy ,different materials are used and their presence in oral cavity may modify their properties. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the direct and indirect biocompatibility of three orthodontic composite resins on culture of human oral fibroblasts. methods: this was an interventional experimental study. the biocompatibility of three orthodontic composite ...

A bis-spiropyran functionalized peptide 1, which exhibits good cell-permeability, excellent biocompatibility and low cytotoxicity, has been developed for reversible and real-time lysosomal tracking.

Concepts of biocompatibility have changed radically in recent years. This paper describes these new concepts and the present knowledge of the components and mediators of biocompatibility and leads to the development of a model for the explanation and rationalization of these phenomena. Of particular importance is the question of the assessment or evaluation of biocompatibility. The paper conclu...

The performance of an intraocular lens is determined by several factors such as the surgical technique, surgical complications, intraocular lens biomaterial and design, and host reaction to the lens. The factor indicating the biocompatibility of an intraocular lens is the behavior of inflammatory and lens epithelial cells. Hence, the biocompatibility of intraocular lens materials is assessed in...

Polymers are very versatile materials and are used in many applications including pharmaceutical applications. Natural polymers, modified natural polymers, and synthetic polymers are used as excipients in the manufacture of cosmetics and systems for conventional and modified delivery of drugs, by altering the composition and physical properties such as molecular weight, polydispersity, crystall...
