A review of post-consumption food waste management and its potentials for biofuel production
(Elsevier, 2021)
The global world production of food waste is expected to increase by 33% within the next decade. The current annual food waste stands at around 1.6 billion tonnes, which is worth around $ 1.2 trillion loss. Out of this, ...
Recent progress and challenges on adsorptive membranes for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. Part I: Fundamentals and classification of membranes
(Elsevier, 2021)
The development of novel wastewater reuse technologies appears to be a thriving area of research. Adsorptive membranes are considered among the promising technologies that exhibited efficiency and competence in water reuse. ...
Lessons learned from the underrepresentation of women in STEM: AI-enabled solutions and more
(Elsevier, 2021)
The absence of women in STEM and energy sectors is driven by discrimination and socio-cultural factors. A greater number of women “leak out” from Energy and STEM fields than men. AI-enabled solutions offer analysis tools ...
Hybrid Liposome/Metal–Organic Framework as a Promising Dual-Responsive Nanocarriers for Anticancer Drug Delivery
(Elsevier, 2022)
In this work, liposome-coated iron (III) benzene-1,3,5-tricarboxylate (Fe-BTC) metal–organic framework is examined as a promising pH/Ultrasound dual-responsive nanocarriers for doxorubicin (DOX) delivery. The successful ...
Ultrasound Triggering of Liposomal Nanodrugs for Cancer Therapy: A Review
(MDPI, 2022)
Efficient conventional chemotherapy is limited by its nonspecific nature, which causes severe systemic toxicity that can lead to patient discomfort and low therapeutic efficacy. The emergence of smart drug delivery systems ...
Combined and Single Doxorubicin/Naproxen Drug Loading and Dual-Responsive pH/Ultrasound Release from Flexible Metal-Organic Framework Nanocarriers
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)
In this study, the flexible aluminum-based MIL-53(Al) metal-organic framework was loaded with doxorubicin (DOX) and naproxen (NAP) and was examined as a promising pH/ultrasound dual-responsive drug delivery system. The two ...
The Kinetics of Calcein Release from Mixed Targeted Liposomes Using Ultrasound
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)
Site-specific delivery of chemotherapeutics using actively targeted-stimuli-responsive liposomes is a promising approach to enhance the therapeutic efficiency of anti-cancer drugs while reducing the associated undesirable ...
Effect of High-Frequency Ultrasound on Targeted Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)
Delivering highly toxic drugs inside a safe carrier to tumors while achieving a controlled and effective drug release at the targeted sites represents an attractive approach to enhance drug efficiency while reducing its ...
Gold-Nanoparticle Hybrid Nanostructures for Multimodal Cancer Therapy
(MDPI, 2022)
With the urgent need for bio-nanomaterials to improve the currently available cancer treatments, gold nanoparticle (GNP) hybrid nanostructures are rapidly rising as promising multimodal candidates for cancer therapy. Gold ...
In Vitro Evaluation of Ultrasound Effectiveness in Controlling Doxorubicin Release from Albumin-Conjugated Liposomes
(American Scientific Publishers, 2022)
Functionalized liposomes are among the most promising antineoplastic agents delivery vehicles. Contemporaneous to their accretion at the tumor site, they need to be potentiated to release their cargo using a suitable ...
