Redox-Responsive Drug Delivery Systems: A Chemical Perspective
(MDPI, 2022)
With the widespread global impact of cancer on humans and the extensive side effects associated with current cancer treatments, a novel, effective, and safe treatment is needed. Redoxresponsive drug delivery systems (DDSs) ...
A New Data-Based Dust Estimation Unit for PV Panels
(MDPI, 2020)
Solar photovoltaic (PV) is playing a major role in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) smart grid infrastructure. However, one of the challenges facing PV-based energy systems is the dust accumulation on solar panels. Dust ...
A Framework for Assessing Commitment Indicators in Sustainable Development Decisions
(MDPI, 2021)
Numerous decision support systems have been developed to address the decision-making process in organizations. However, there are no developed mechanisms to track commitment down the line to the decisions made by corporate ...
Sustainable Management of Organic Wastes in Sharjah, UAE through Co-Composting
(MDPI, 2020)
Daily human activities and vast green areas produce substantial amounts of organic wastes that end up in landfills with minimal treatment. In addition to the problems associated with landfills, disposal through this method ...
Effect of phospholipid head group on ultrasound‑triggered drug release and cellular uptake of immunoliposomes
(Nature, 2023)
Liposomes are the most successful nanoparticles used to date to load and deliver chemotherapeutic agents to cancer cells. They are nano-sized vesicles made up of phospholipids, and targeting moieties can be added to their ...
Recent Advances in Nanoparticle-Based Co-Delivery Systems for Cancer Therapy
(MDPI, 2022-08)
Cancer therapies have advanced tremendously throughout the last decade, yet multiple factors still hinder the success of the different cancer therapeutics. The traditional therapeutic approach has been proven insufficient ...
Impact of Ionic Strength and Charge Density on Donnan Potential in the NaCl-Cation Exchange Membrane System
(MDPI, 2023)
