Background: Nylon-based removable partial dentures, such as Valplast® (Valplast International Corp, Westbury NY, USA), have been proposed as a valuable alternative to acrylic resin prostheses, particularly following oral surgical extractions and...
Nanostructures have been of paramount importance for developing immunoadjuvants. They must be cationic and non-cytotoxic, easily assembling with usually oppositely charged antigens such as proteins, haptens or nucleic acids for use in vaccines. We ob...
Biocompatible lipid polymer nanoparticles (NPs) previously used as antimicrobial agents are explored here as immuno-adjuvants. Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODAB)/poly (diallyldimethylammonium chloride) (PDDA...
Highly fluorescent magnetic nanoparticles (Eu(TTA)3(P(Oct)3)3@mSiO2@SPION) [europium (III) chloride hexahydrate = Eu; 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione = TTA; trioctylphosphine = (P(Oct)3); mesoporous silica = mSiO2; superparamagnetic iro...
Cardiovascular diseases are currently the most common cause of death globally and of which, the golden treatment method for severe cardiovascular diseases or coronary artery diseases are implantations of synthetic vascular grafts. However, such graft...
