The miR-21 detection is essential for the accurate and early diagnosis or prognosis of most diseases. In the current study, the miR-21 detection method was performed based on the exploitation of the simple colorimetric biosensor due to the unique surface…
Structurally unique polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimers implanted with targeting biological moiety along with complexed radiometal constitute a favorable nano-system for diagnosis and therapy of targeted tumor sites. In the present study, carboxyl functionalities of PAMAM- generation 4 dendrimer (PAMAM-G4-COOH) were conjugated…
In the present study, AS1411 aptamer conjugated gold nanoclusters (GNCs) have been introduced as a targeted radiosensitizer for enhancing megavoltage radiation therapy efficacy. GNCs with an ultra-small gold core and a bovine serum albumin shell (BSA) as a versatile nano-platform…
The nanoscale size of plastic debris makes them potential efficient vectors of many pollutants and more especially of metals. In order to evaluate this ability, nanoplastics were produced from microplastics collected on a beach exposed to the North Atlantic Gyre.…
A multi-component hydrogel was developed using bacterial cellulose, alginate, and gelatin with the aid of glycerol as trihydric alcohol which participates in re-distribution of hydrogen bonds in the test system. FTIR, XRD, SEM, and TGA as instrumental techniques were used…
