Title : Highly selective ppm level lpg sensors based on Sno2-Zno nanocomposites operable at low temperature
Patil Devidas Ramrao, Rani Laxmibai Mahavidyalaya, India
The nanoscaled SnO2, ZnO and SnO2-ZnO nanocomposite powders were prepared by microwave assisted ultrasonication technique by employing centrifuge for collection of dry powders of the materials. Fabrication of the thick films of the pure ZnO and SnO2-ZnO nanocomposite powders were [....] » Read More
Title : Archaeolipid-based drug delivery to penetrate the blood-brain barrier: revisiting brain cancer nanotherapy
M R Mozafari, Australasian Nanoscience and Nanotechnology Initiative, Australia
As a major challenge in the medical field, drug delivery into the brain presents a serious problem in drug development, due to the repulsion by the blood-brain barrier (BBB). Consequently, chemotherapeutic agents cannot penetrate deeply into the brain parenchyma. Crossing BBB is [....] » Read More
Title : Personalized and precision medicine (PPM) as a unique healthcare model to be set up via biodesign, bio- and chemical engineering, translational applications, biomanufacturing and upgraded business modeling to secure the human healthcare and biosafety
Sergey Suchkov, Institute for Global Health and Dept for Personalized Medicine & Precision Nutriciology of MGUPP, United States
Traditionally a disease has been defined by its clinical presentation and observable characteristics, not by the underlying molecular mechanisms, pathways and systems biology-related processes specific to a particular patient (ignoring persons-at-risk). A new systems approach to [....] » Read More
Title : Mathematical modeling the tumor heterogeneity using a nanoemulsion biodistribution
Paulo Cesar De Morais, Catholic University of Brasilia, Brazil
This plenary talk is addressed to the biodistribution description of a luminescent lipid nanoemulsion and its use as a model to assess the heterogeneous architecture of an implanted solid tumor. Moreover, the talk aims to describe the tumor tissue organization and examine how the [....] » Read More
Title : Comparison of chemical and nanofluid flooding enhanced oil recovery schemes for Assam oil reservoirs
Rahul Saha, National Institute of Technology Hamirpur , India
Chemical and nanofluid flooding schemes in oil reservoirs are promising with potential to recovery higher residual crude oil. Chemical enhanced oil recovery (EOR) is attractive due to its economy whereas nanofluids EOR are evolving technique with improved efficacy in terms of oil [....] » Read More
Title : Synthesis, controlled release and kinetic studies of Polyacrylic acid-Polyethylene oxide/beta-Cyclodextrin nano-interpolymer complex with naproxen
Monir Shalbafan, Imam Khomeini International University, Iran (Islamic Republic of)
The aim of this work is synthesis of a nano-interpolymer complex based on polyacrylic acid-polyethylene oxide (PAA-PEO) and β-cyclodextrin as a nanocarrier biodegradable drug delivery system. Host-guest method was used to make the nano-interpolymer complex in which beta cycl [....] » Read More
Title : An alternative to krystexxa: Polysarcosine bioconjucation to uricase, biodistribution, toxicology and pharmacokinetics
Silvia Stifano, Curapath, Spain
PEGylation was one of the first successful technologies able to improve the pharmacokinetic of therapeutic agents and it has been applied in the clinic for more than 25 years. In early studies, PEG has been considered a biologically inert material. However, it can become immunog [....] » Read More
Title : Liposomes containing moxifloxacin and functionalized with a siderophore analog for tuberculosis treatment
Fernando Rogerio Pavan, Sao Paulo State University, Brazil
Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease that affects millions of people annually and resistance to available antibiotics has worsened this scenario. Another particularity of Mycobacterium tuberculosis, the main etiologic agent of TB, is its ability to survive inside of macroph [....] » Read More
Title : The role of cellulose nanofibers on colon-specific microparticles to target 5-Aminosalicylic acid to treat inflammatory bowel disease
Andreia Bagliotti Meneguin, Sao Paulo State University, Brazil
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) are considered a set of autoimmune disorders characterized by chronic inflammation, mucosal ulcerations, and haemorrhage of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). 5-Aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) is the drug of choice in the treatment of mild to moderate [....] » Read More
Title : Nanometric structures on holographic labels imprinted via biodegradable polymers
Mona Mihailescu, Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania
Holographic labels (HL) are smart elements used to secure important documents, credit cards, banknotes, passports, deluxe products. HL have several characteristics that give them the advantage of being difficult to counterfeit due to the combining of several complex scientific kn [....] » Read More
Title : Mesoporous silica nanoparticles detection and quantification in cultured cells using hyperspectral imaging
Mona Mihailescu, Politehnica University Bucharest, Romania
The use of different types of nanoparticles (NPs) in biology, medicine, or other life sciences has a special development in recent years. The main challenge consists in understanding the interaction between nanoparticles and different biological components, going down to the subc [....] » Read More
