Colloidal quantum well light-emitting diodes (CQW-LEDs) show great potential for applications in displays and lighting due to their advantages, such as high color purity, spectral tunability and compatibility with flexible electronics, as demonstrated in relevant papers and patents. So far, attention has been mainly devoted to pursuing device efficiencies rather than achieving device stability, leading to the fact that the lifetime of CQ Read More

In recent years, nanotechnology has been the focus of study for the cure of different diseases, among which nanosponge delivery system is one of a kind. Nano sponges are tiny, highly porous, three-dimensional nanostructures with a size range of 250 nm-1 µm in an amorphous or crystalline structure. Nanosponges usually act as an excipient or carrier of a drug in the different delivery systems. The type of polymers and cross Read More

BackgroundBacterial infections are becoming difficult to treat nowadays due to the development of resistance towards conventional treatments. Conventional topical formulations loaded with antibiotics display various disadvantages, like high dosing frequency, high toxicity, and poor patient compliance. The former limitations may sometimes lead to severe complications and hospitalization of patients. However, these can be Read More

Cells and nervous system connections that are crucial for movement, coordination, strength, sensation, and thought are gradually damaged in neurodegenerative illnesses. Amyloid beta (Aβ)-accumulating macromolecules in the brain are the primary cause of the disease's chronic symptoms, according to analysis carried out during the last 20 years. Plaques and clumps of amyloid- build up in the brain, obstructing n Read More

Niosomes are novel, self-assembled vesicular carriers that deliver both lipophilic and hydrophilic drugs at the specific site in a targeted way, enhancing bioavailability and extending therapeutic effects. Niosomes are a versatile drug delivery system with a diverse range of applications from gene to brain-targeted delivery and they are more attractive choices than liposomes as they are efficient at biodegrading. Niosome offe Read More

The prevalence of thyroid cancer (TC) is more common in women and is up to 43% in patients aged between 45-65 years. The battle against TC is hampered by the lack of effective diagnostic and therapeutic approaches. The effectiveness of surgical procedures, such as thyroidectomy and nutraceutical treatments, are accompanied by several difficulties and still require further research. Alternatively, the DNA-damaging tra Read More

Poloxamers, commonly known as Pluronics, are a special family of synthetic tri-block copolymers with a core structure made of hydrophobic poly (propylene oxide) chains sandwiched by two hydrophilic poly (ethylene oxide) chains. It is possible to modify the mechanical, bioactive, and microstructural characteristics of Pluronics to simulate the behavior of different types of tissues. Additionally, they are auspicious drug c Read More

Lung cancer is the second deadliest disease in the world. A major portion of deaths related to cancer are due to lung cancer in both males and females. Interestingly, unbelievable advances have occurred in recent years through the use of nanotechnology and development in both the diagnosis and treatment of lung cancer. Due to their in vivo stability, the nanotechnology-based pharmacological system gained huge at Read More

Microspheres have emerged as innovative drug delivery platforms with significant potential to improve the therapeutic efficacy of drugs with limited aqueous solubility and prolong their release. This abstract provides an overview of recent developments and patents granted in microsphere research, highlighting key trends and innovative approaches. Recent studies have focused on various aspects of microsphe Read More

BackgroundBipolymeric nanofibers have gained significant attention in various fields due to their enhanced functionality, improved mechanical properties, and controlled release capabilities. However, the fabrication of these composite fibers with a well-defined polymer-polymer interface remains a challenging task.MethodsThe double bubble electrospinning setup was developed and simulated using Maxwell 3D to analyze Read More
