An Effective Anticancer Nano-approach for Melanoma and Breast Cancers Using Annona muricate Gold Nanoparticles
(Acta Scientific, 2021-09)
Chemotherapy is preferred for the treatment and management of cancer; however, its efficacy is hindered by the off-target side effects of the currently used synthetic drugs. Thus, anticancer drugs with higher safety and ...
Ultrasound-Triggered Liposomes Encapsulating Quantum Dots as Safe Fluorescent Markers for Colorectal Cancer
(MDPI, 2021)
Quantum dots (QDs) are a promising tool to detect and monitor tumors. However, their small size allows them to accumulate in large quantities inside the healthy cells (in addition to the tumor cells), which increases their ...
Biomedical Applications of Metal−Organic Frameworks for Disease Diagnosis and Drug Delivery: A Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Metal−organic frameworks (MOFs) are a novel class of porous hybrid organic−inorganic materials that have attracted increasing attention over the past decade. MOFs can be used in chemical engineering, materials science, and ...
Membrane bioreactor for wastewater treatment: A review
(Elsevier, 2021)
Due to the growth in the human population globally, it is noted that various industries have also grown. The need for an excess supply of water and the generation of high effluent quality upon proper treatment technologies ...
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 ...
Recent progress and challenges of adsorptive membranes for the removal of pollutants from wastewater. Part II: Environmental applications
(Elsevier, 2021)
Adsorptive membranes have attracted attention recently and have been employed to remove variety of pollutants from wastewater. Part I of this work was devoted to provide an overview on the latest progress in their fabrication ...
Modeling of Anti-cancer Drug Release Kinetics from Liposomes and Micelles: A review
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2021)
Nanocarriers, such as liposomes and micelles, were developed to enhance the delivery of therapeutic drugs to malignant tissues. Internal or external stimuli can be applied to achieve spatiotemporal controlled release from ...
Ultrasound-Mediated Cancer Therapeutics Delivery using Micelles and Liposomes: A Review
(Bentham Science Publisher, 2021)
Nanoparticles have proven promising as cancer theranostic tools. Nanoparticles are selective in nature, have reduced toxicity, and controllable drug release patterns making them ideal carriers for anticancer drugs. Numerous ...
