Abstract In a biological system, nanoparticles (NPs) may interact with biomolecules. Specifically, the adsorption of proteins on nanoparticle surface influence both nanoparticles' and proteins' overall bio-reactivity. Nevertheless, our knowledge biocompatibility risk exposure to nanomaterials is limited. Here, in vitro ex ovo naturally based crosslinked freeze-dried 3D porous collagen/chitosan scaffolds, modified thermostable fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF2-STAB ® ), enhance healing...

Abstract Background Bovine mastitis is one of the main causes reduced production in dairy cows. The infection mammary gland mainly caused by bacterium Staphylococcus aureus, whose resistant strains make treatment with conventional antibiotics very difficult and result high losses. Therefore, it important to develop novel therapeutic agents overcome resistance mastitis-causing strains. In this study, selenium-tellurium based nanoparticles (SeTeNPs) were synthesized characterized. Their...

A voltammetric detection of doxorubicin and encapsulated in apoferritin structure at a carbon paste electrode is the main aim this study. The samples were measured by differential pulse voltammetry phosphate buffer (pH 5.5). Complex apoferritin-doxorubicin can be formed "opening"/"closing" due to changing pH value. value electrolyte was decreased sample done adding hydrochloric acid. We optimized experimental conditions as time accumulation deposition potential obtain limit for 1.0 μg/ml doxorubicin.
