Diseases can result from an excess or deficit of amino acids in the blood. The smallest biomolecules that can self-assemble are amino acids. Fifteen amino acids, phenylalanine, tryptophan, histidine, glycine, alanine, valine, serine, isoleucine, proline, cysteine, glutamic acid, methionine, threonine, tyrosine, and lysine, have been observed to self-assemble out of the twenty amino acid forms. A disorder known as “hyperaminoacidemi Read More

IntroductionMetal-elastomer adhesion becomes increasingly important for elastomer parts comprising metal components, such as packer elements for Blowout Preventers (BOP), completion packers, metal encapsulated seals, and stator/rotors. As the bonding between metal and elastomer deteriorates under cyclic deformation, cracks can appear on the adhesion interface and reduce the function of the parts.MethodsThus, t Read More

BackgroundThe present study attempted to develop cost-effective, biocompatible and biodegradable mucoadhesive buccal films exploring and using Mimosa pudica seed polymer, marking its potential as a sustainable drug delivery in pharmaceutical development.MethodsThe extracted polymer was characterized for solubility, viscosity, loss on drying, pH, swelling index, starch, and mucilage ingredients. Compatibility bet Read More
