In the current virus infection and pandemic situation, the extremely convenient gold nanoparticles sensor (AuNPs) dependent antibody and antigen detection kits are very important assays for infection detection. Various laboratories and manufacturers across the globe are utilizing different kits development and manufacturing processes, but the development of kits and large scale manufacturing are two different things. A manu Read More

Perovskite-based photovoltaic technology has gained significant attention owing to its tunable electrical and optical properties. Among them, lead-based perovskites are considered as the most efficient one that delivers maximum power conversion efficiency with ample stability. In the current scenario, the perovskite-based solar cells (PSCs) can be classified into two main categories, i.e. highly efficient lead-containing and unde Read More

All groups/patient's quality of life (QOL) is affected because of overactive bladder (OAB), which leads to symptoms like urgency/urinary frequency/incontinence and nocturia. Several patients do not undergo management because of the embarrassment/misconception i.e. it is related to aging only and even discontinue the treatment due to side effects (repeated incidences). The objective of this review is to explore all Read More

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a metal oxide well known for its photocatalytic property and is widely used in cosmetics. Lately, it has gained more importance in its biomedical applications, especially in cancer therapy. Scientific works have elucidated the efficiency of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) against different cancer cell lines. There are safety concerns related to the usage of ZnO NPs as the zinc ion concentration may lead to changes Read More

Aim: For procuring the stable form of drug delivery, tremendous efforts have been made in developing new drug delivery vectors. One such approach that meets the desired stability standards is Liquid Crystalline Nanoparticles (LCNs). Background: The liquid crystals are the intermediate forms of solid and liquid materials, which hold high tolerance to bear the influences of physical parameters. The liquid crystals are empl Read More

Background: Novel drug delivery systems have always been of immense interest for research. The majority of the drugs suffer from solubility related constraints. Lipid-based drug delivery systems provide a promising approach to address this issue. Amongst various approaches, liquid crystalline systems offer distinct advantages over other available options. It maintains the phase stability between solid and liquid phase Read More

Nanomedicine has emerged as a lucrative option, attracting the attention of scientific and industrial stalwarts for its enormous potential and new business opportunities in the health sector. It encompasses physical, chemical, and biological interventions used for the transformation of bulk materials into nanomaterials (NMs) with particles size ~ 1-100 nm for highly specific medical applications. Therefore, its effects in diagn Read More

Objective: In this paper, we present a rheological analysis of suspended single-walled Carbon nanotubes in a Walters' B fluid. Methods: We assume that the viscosity varies exponentially as a function of the temperature use the Reynolds model of viscosity for the study. A variable thermal conductivity is also assumed along with buoyancy, magnetic field, viscous dissipation and a convective boundary condition. The system Read More

Background: Polybutylene succinate (PBS) is a type of biodegradable polymers that have gained considerable attention among scholars as a great completion has been observed worldwide to find alternatives to petroleum-based polymeric materials. Methods: A modified clay was used in preparing nanocomposites for the PBS/Corn starch mixture. Nanocomposites were prepared by 0.5-5 percent of HDA-MMT being integr Read More
