Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) are formed in vast amounts worldwide for usage in several applications. They possess excellent photocatalytic properties, high chemical stability, and a wide bandgap, making them highly effective in environmental remediation and solar energy conversion. TiO2 nanoparticles exhibit biocompatibility, allowing their utilization in biomedical uses, such as molecular imaging, drug deli Read More

Carbon nanotubes, as their name implies, are nanotubes made of carbon. Carbon nanotubes, liposomes, dendrimers, quantum dots, nanogels, and others are carbon nanoparticles. CNTs are synthesized using a variety of processes, including laser ablation, chemical vapor deposition, and arc discharge. Each method affects the nanotubes' final structure, diameter, and chirality, which affects their qualities and future applicatio Read More

Camouflage nanoparticles (CNPs) have emerged as a promising paradigm in the realm of disease therapy, offering a distinctive set of properties and versatile applications. These nanoparticles, characterized by their size, typically falling within the range of 1 to 100 nm, hold significant promise for the realms of targeted drug delivery, diagnostics, and imaging. Diverse categories of camouflage nanoparticles, encompassing lipos Read More

One of the difficult areas of pharmaceutical research is the controlled delivery of drugs to the eye. The drainage of the solution, the quick turnover of the tears, and the diluting effects of lacrimation all contribute to a short drug contact time and poor ocular bioavailability with conventional systems. Drug delivery system design is also governed by the eye's anatomical barriers and its physiological conditions. To prevent retin Read More

There are several safeguards in place to protect the brain from injury because of its vulnerability. Two major barriers prevent harmful substances from entering the brain: the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and the blood-cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB). Although there has been some success in devising ways for transporting medicines to the brain, the great majority of the nanoparticles (NPs) used in these procedures are destro Read More

BackgroundFabrication of nanoparticles (NPs) by the biological approach has gained extensive attention recently due to its low cost, simplicity, non-toxic and environmentally-friendly nature, as compared to the toxic as well as expensive chemical and physical methods. This study aimed to synthesize ZnO and Cu-doped ZnO NPs using Aloe vera leaf extract for their photocatalytic and antibacterial activities evaluation.Metho Read More
