The focus of this work is on composite materials of inorganic nanoparticles such as TiO2 embedded within microspheres of a responsive polymeric network. Microgels of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM) with interpenetrating (IP) linear chains of poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc) were synthesized to promote the incorporation of TiO2. Dynamic light scattering measurements of the IP-microgels in aqueous environ...

OBJECTIVE Western lifestyle and diet are major environmental factors playing a role in the development of IBD. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles are widely used as food additives or in pharmaceutical formulations and are consumed by millions of people on a daily basis. We investigated the effects of TiO2 in the development of colitis and the role of the nucleotide-binding oligomerisation do...

Aim of Study: Bio lm of Candida albicans signify as a complex cellular congregation with major implication in pathogenicity. This kind of lifestyle of fungus as a biofilm can inhibit immune system function and antifungal therapy, thus complicates the treatment of infectious diseases, particularly in field of chronic infections associated with medical devices. In this study effects of Titanium d...
